2)
HOT CHOCOLATE WEDNESDAYS START ON NOVEMBER 5
- During Pacific Standard Time (11/2/25 - 3/7/26) the team provides hot chocolate to the swimmers.
- The Team will provide the hot water & hot chocolate mix.
- The swimmers provide a non-breakable mug and spoon to reduce waste.
- We need parent volunteers (Sign Up HERE) to help fill the swimmers' non-breakable mugs with hot water and mix so the coaches can continue to coach and because we CANNOT allow younger swimmers to serve themselves hot water.
- Some parents will also bring additional treats (marshmallows, peppermint sticks, etc) but this is by no means required or needed.
- Thanks for helping us provide one of these highlight events for the swimmers.
