IMPORTANT REMINDERS

AQUAJET INVITE: Congratulations to our Riptide swimmers who competed at the Aquajet meet this past weekend. Although it is not the best viewing facility for spectators, it is certainly a fast pool. We had a number of time drops and great races. Way to go everyone! The results are now loaded in SWIMS and TU.

RIPTIDE LAST CHANCE INVITE: The meet details will be posted by Wednesday. This should be a fun, quick meet! Session 1 swimmers (10&U) will start their warm-up at 10:00 a.m. The meet will start at 11:00 a.m. The preliminary timeline shows a 1:24 p.m. finish time. We are looking to move Session 2 (11&U / Open) swimmers’ warm-up from 2:30 to 2:00 p.m. with the meet starting at 3:00 p.m. The final schedule will be posted on Wednesday. We still need volunteers for Session 1!!! If you have a swimmer in the meet, please volunteer. Thank you!

PRACTICES ON SATURDAY: Because of the swim meet, all practices are canceled this Saturday other than Senior Elite.
