IMPORTANT REMINDERS

RIPTIDE INTRASQUAD MEET – This Saturday, we have our Intrasquad meet!!! All practices are canceled except for Senior Elite. The coaching staff is currently finishing up the lineups for the Blue, Green, and White Teams. This is a scored meet with lots of team spirit and is a little different than a normal season meet. We encourage all swimmers and parents to stay until the end of the meet for the final relay that usually determines the winner! The meet warm up is at 8:30 a.m. and the meet will start at 9:30 a.m. The meet program will be posted on our meet page by Thursday along with other important details. The head coaches for each team are as follows: Coach Ethan – Green Team (last year’s champion), Coach Olga – White Team, Coach Amy – Blue Team. If you have any questions about the meet, reach out to your team’s leader.
