Week 1 Swim Team Information
June 11, 2023
Hello, PW Swim Team Families! We have a lot of information for you this week!
Great job to all of our swimmers and volunteers that participated in Time Trials yesterday! Your swimmer's results can be found under your account on the Team Website and the meet results can be found under the Meet Result tab of our homepage on the right side.
Meet Photos: Our Team Photographer, Will Hicks, takes amazing photos of our swimmers at our swim meets and organizes them on SmugMug for your viewing pleasure. Please check them out HERE. Password is Demons (with a capital D). You can download them for free. Thank you, Will!!
General Reminders
- Please do not take photos or videos from behind the start end of your swimmer's lane as it gets in the way of timers and officials.
- Please do not wear caps with other team's logos or names on them. This is an MCSL rule and caps may be worn inside out so there is nothing showing if swimmers prefer.
- If you can no longer fufill the job you signed up for to volunteer, please cancel it in SwimTopia so someone else can fill your spot. If you can no longer cancel it because it is too close to the meet, please email me so we can find a replacement and are not scrambling at the meet.
