Barracuda Nation!

17 days until the swim meet season kicks off with our first meet on June 25th at Aqua Club! Evening practices continue for the next two weeks. A few updates to share as we get closer to the start of meet season.

Meet Sign-Ups Are Open!

Meet entry sign-ups are now open for all seven dual meets. Sign-ups are required for each meet your swimmer plans to attend. You can read more about how to sign up on Swimtopia. We'll share information later this week about how sign-ups will work for the upcoming Intrasquad Meet on June 18.

Athlete sign-ups close at noon the day before each meet, which gives our coaches time to plan entries and line-ups. We'll send plenty of reminders ahead of each meet, but feel free to get a jump on things and sign up now for the meets you know you'll be attending. We'll also walk through the whole process at the Parent Survival Guide Meeting next week — read on!

Parent Survival Guide Meeting — Tuesday, June 16th at 5:30pm

Join us in the Clubhouse for our annual Survival Guide Meeting, designed to help your family get prepared and "in the know" for meet season. We'll cover lots of tips and best practices, including: how to sign up for a meet, what to pack, when to arrive, tips for away meet venues, where the team sits, how to find your coordinators, how to read a heat sheet, the flow of a meet, how post-season works, buddy groups, volunteering, and more.

While it's especially geared toward new parents, we'd encourage all families to come — learn more about the season, share your favorite tips, and socialize. We'll have snacks and some beverages (including adult ones!) on hand to make it fun. Hope to see you there!

On the Horizon

• Intrasquad Meet — Thursday, June 18th at 5:30pm
