This Week’s Meets:

Our time trials are this Saturday (June 15) and next Monday (June 17) at our B meet, at SHRA against Dowden Terrace. For your swimmer to be eligible to swim in meets, he/she needs a time in each of the four strokes. Please sign up for two strokes Saturday and two strokes Monday. If your swimmer isn’t able to make the stroke across the pool please don’t sign up for that stroke.

Saturday’s time-trial meet is vs SHBR @ SHRA. Swimmers need to arrive at 7:30 for 7:45 am warm-ups and a 8:30 am start time. Though we will work to run the meet as efficiently as possible, this meet can become a long one, and typically goes at least until 1pm.

Monday’s meet is vs Dowden Terrace @SHRA Swimmers have 5pm warm-ups and a 6pm start time.
