3. 4th of July Weekend Schedule:

  • This Friday, July 3rd, is our annual Swim-a-thon, benefitting Blood Cancer United (formerly Leukemia and Lymphoma Society), in honor of Clare Schmidt. Sign up in Swimtopia to swim laps, be a lap counter, or help with our pancake breakfast. It’s great fun and a fantastic way to kick off the July 4th weekend! The Swim-a-thon is from 8:30-9:30 am. Will you be the one to beat Kyle Chen’s lap record? Is it somewhere in the 300’s???
  • A meet on Saturday, July 4th! Palisades hosts Seven Locks. Join us whether you are swimming or not and stay for our Team BBQ and a game of Beaver after the meet! This is our last home meet of the season - let’s make it great!

4. B Meet entry deadline is Monday, 6 pm. (Meet will be away at Merrimack) Please mark your swimmer’s availability, events, and sign up to volunteer!

5. A Meet availability declaration deadline is Wednesday, 6 pm.

6. This year’s Summer Swim Team Banquet will be in the evening of Sunday, July 19th. Please mark your calendar now! Yes, that’s the day that the final of the World Cup will be played. If your team wins, you’ll want to share the joy. If your team loses, you’ll want a fun occasion to take your mind off the loss. Catering by Fish Taco. Stay tuned for tickets and volunteer sign up!

7. Merchandise that was ordered a few weeks ago has arrived! Please ask a coach or front desk staff to retrieve your items for you. Missed the first order? Stay tuned - we are trying to get another order set up!
