IMPORTANT REMINDERS

RIPTIDE WATER POLO NIGHT: We have a special team activity for all groups this Friday, April 25th. The water polo games will be available for all groups. We encourage everyone to participate in this fun team building night! The cost is $5.00 which will be billed to your team account. After each group’s water polo games, there will be food and time to socialize. Stay tuned for an email with the group times. Volunteers are needed for this important team bonding event. If you can pitch in some time, we would REALLY appreciate your help! Please email coach Olga if you are available. Thank you!!!

TEAM BANQUET: Remember to register for our team banquet on May 4th before April 27th. You can find the registration info on our team events page.

MEET CHANGE: Our lead coaching staff have decided to make a change in our early season meet schedule. We will attend the Star Invite at St. Kate’s in St. Paul on June 7-8 rather than the Atlantis long course meet in Austin. Although the Star meet is a short course meet, the coaches feel that this meet can serve more of our swimmers’ needs. Our meet page will be updated shortly.

UPCOMING MEET DEADLINE: The deadline to register for the Great Wolf meet has been moved up to April 24th.

SWIM MEETS: Please make every effort to sign up and attend the swim meets that are scheduled for your swimmer’s practice group. All questions regarding meets should be directed to your swimmer’s lead coach.
