Hello, Demon Families!  

The 2021 season is underway and our first swim meet, Time Trials, is just 8 days away (Saturday, June 12)! 

Time Trials is an intrasquad trial run of a meet where PW swimmers will establish baseline times prior to the first A and B meets.  Coach Jonny will use these times to create meet lineups and you can use them to track your swimmers' individual progress throughout the season.  ALL swim team (not preteam) swimmers should participate in Time Trials.  

Please sign your swimmer up for Time Trials (directions below). Entry closes Thursday, June 10 at Noon.  If your swimmer MUST miss this event, please email Coach Jonny before June 9.

Swim Team registration dues MUST BE PAID IN ORDER TO SIGN UP AND SWIM

Signing your swimmer up for all swim meets is done through our team website.  Please follow these instructions:

The sign up for A Meets allows you to declare a swimmer's availability for each meet. It is as important to note when your swimmer is NOT available as it is to indicate when they are. Indicating that your swimmer is available for an A Meet does NOT guarantee they will swim in an event only that they are available for that meet. The Coaches are solely responsible for determining the A Meet lineups and do so to provide Potomac Woods the best chance to win the meet.

The sign up for B Meets allows you to declare a swimmer's attendance for each meet as well as select the events he/she will swim. A swimmer is eligible to sign up for swim as many events as they would like, however, swimmers must be legal in the stroke for which they sign up. (If you are unsure, please ask the coaches.) A swimmer is not eligible to swim events in a "B" Meet if they are number one or two on the ladder in that event. As a team policy, the coaches work to get every swimmer in a B Meet that has requested to swim. So, while it is important to indicate when your swimmer is attending a B meet, it is just as important to indicate when your swimmer is NOT. 

All meet and job sign-ups for the 2021 season are OPEN. 

Please visit our website to sign your swimmers up to swim in EVERY meet and sign yourselves up to volunteer.

See you at the pool, 
Your Swim Team Committee
