A big thank you to everyone who is pivoting for tonight's meet. We still have volunteer spots open, please volunteer if you are able to.

Coach Request

• Jonny has asked that those swimming in Saturday's meet leave the pool on Friday night no later than 7:30. Ideally, as soon as the social is over. Rest and an early bedtime is important for all of our swimmers!

Team Meeting - Friday, July 11

Swim Team and PreTeam - join your teammates and coaches for our weekly Friday Team Meeting! Our Coaches will announce Demon Droppers, Swimmers of the Week, Time Droppers of the Week and Spirit Award Winners!

Team Social- Directly after the team meeting

• Shaving Cream Wars is the social following the team meeting and posters. Swimmers should bring 2 cans of shaving cream and MUST wear goggles to participate! Once the wars are over, swimmers MUST be hosed off before they will be allowed to enter the pool. The hose water will be cold; if swimmers do not want to be hosed off, they should not participate. Thanks in advance for your understanding!

Team Movie

Reminder, our team movie outing to see Smurfs is Friday, July 18th at Montgomery Mall at 12:00pm. This is not a drop-off event, there must be a responsible adult designated for each child.

A Meet - AWAY this Saturday, July 12, 2025 at Kenmont

• Saturday’s A Meet Lineup will be emailed to the team later today/tonight. Please check the line-up!! If your swimmer(s) is on the line up and cannot attend, please let me or Jonny ASAP so that opportunity can be given to another swimmer. Remember, an empty lane is worth ZERO points for the TEAM.
• Please sign up to volunteer if your swimmer makes the A meet - there are still positions open.
