IMPORTANT REMINDERS

ROCHESTER SUMMERFEST INVITE: Congratulations to our Riptide swimmers who competed this past weekend in Rochester. We had many swimmers try new events, achieve new champ times as well as best times. We do not have a pdf of the results, but they are loaded into SWIMS and Team Unify. Way to go everyone!!!

SUMMER PRACTICE SCHEDULES: For those groups who utilize Bloomington and Northfield long course pool time, we are still on hold. We will certainly let those groups know when we have the green light. If you have any questions regarding the practice schedule, please reach out to your swimmer’s lead coach.

RIVER FALLS LAST CHANCE MEET: Today is the last day to register for this meet. Swimmers who do not qualify for the Regional Championships should attend this end of season meet. If you have any questions, reach out to your swimmer’s lead coach.

RIPTIDE SUMMER SPLASH: Today is the last day to register for our meet this Saturday. Look for the volunteer sign-up in the next day or two. We will need volunteers! If your child is in the meet, please pitch if your schedule allows. Thank you!!!

END OF SEASON MEETS: We have just about all the end of season meet information posted on our meet page. If you are not sure what meet your swimmer should attend, reach out to your swimmer’s lead coach. Remember that lead coaches select the swimmers’ events. However, please feel free to list your swimmers’ favorite events in the notes section.
