3. Water bottles: please send your swimmer to practice with a water bottle. Coaches are having to pick up trash after our swimmers leave. There are water bottle fillers near the guard house and near the snack bar (with really good ice). Thank you for your help with this!
4. Changes to some volunteer roles! Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we figure out the best way to maximize our volunteer power. We have had to make some changes to some positions. Please check the Swimtopia sign up before the meet to make sure that your position has not been changed. We have tried our best to reach out to individuals but may have missed someone. Thanks for your help!
5. Leaving a meet before it’s over: If your swimmer needs to leave a meet (Wednesday or Saturday) before it is over, please make sure that you communicate this to our coaches! This is especially important for A meets!
