Note from our coaches
Please remember that your swimmer can only practice during their age group practice time. We have divided up the swimmers to maintain the safest swim environment.
We also want your swimmers to get to know their coaches and teammates in their age groups. It's much easier to find your teammates on a relay if you already know who they are from practice.
time trial update
For those few swimmers that were unable to attend time trials, or missed a couple of events, the coaches will stay after pictures on Monday, 5/6, to get those times.
THIS IS YOUR LAST OPPORTUNITY TO GET TIMES BEFORE THE FIRST MEET!
Please look at your times that have been entered in to the system. If you are missing a time or you think a time is inaccurate please contact Will Morse
cuda gear update
Yard signs and baseball caps are not in yet. We will update those that ordered as soon as they have arrived.
picture day
Picture day will be on Monday, 5/6 @ the main pool. Individual pictures will begin at 5pm. Group picture will be at 5:30 sharp. With 275 swimmers, this will take some time to get organized so please arrive no later than 5:15 for the group picture. We will hand out team suit (to those that ordered) and team shirts at this time. For the team picture, girls will wear their team suits & boys wear the team suits with our team shirt.
Forms will also be available on our website.
