Barracuda Nation!

It was great seeing the fun and games at this morning's practice. Check out the Blue Ridge Instagram page to see some of the fun from this week's meets and events. A couple of reminders as we head into the weekend:

Upcoming Meets — Get a Jump on Sign-Ups!

Your Swim Team Coordinators are very much looking forward to a brief break from home meet planning. 😅 

Dual meet season continues next week, with away meets at View Ridge (Tuesday) and Innis Arden (Thursday), before we return home for our final meet of the season against Sheridan Beach (Tuesday, Senior Night!). Sign-ups close at 12pm the day before each meet. Get ahead of it now! Several of the meets, especially View Ridge and Sheridan Beach, promise to be very close — so we'd love to have as many Barracudas showing up to fill relays and individual events!

• Tuesday, July 14 — View Ridge (Away)
• Thursday, July 16 — Innis Arden (Away)
• Tuesday, July 21 — Sheridan Beach (Home — Senior Night!)

And for a gold star — sign up to volunteer at our final home meet against Sheridan Beach. Senior Night is guaranteed to be one of the most fun nights of the season, with tributes to our graduating seniors and the end-of-season staff show. You don't want to miss it!

Meet Results and Post-Season

FYI, meet results for each dual meet are posted on the GSSSL website the night or morning after each meet. Check out the Meet Results page for more information — it's also a great way to track your swimmer's times and see if they've qualified for post-season prelims.

We also published a revamped Post-Season Guide — even though we're still a few weeks out, it's a great way to learn more about what to expect and plan ahead. If you have any questions about post-season and how your swimmer is progressing, chat with Coach Dom or any of the coaches at practice.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

PS — Friday night food trucks are back, with Tandem Truck to Table at the Clubhouse Parking Lot. Fish and chips, crab cakes, chicken strips, and more! Hope to see you there on this beautiful evening.

PPS — we've sold out our first run of the Vintage Blue Ridge hats! We're blown away by the support (we might have set a record for fastest Barracuda merch sale!) and look forward to having these in time for our final home meet. Thank you!
