Concessions are available at all meets (home and away), and you can bring your own snacks/water as well. Be sure to bring camping chairs as seating options at the pools fill up quickly.

Donate concessions for all home swim meets
Selling concessions at our home meets is one of the primary ways we raise money to support the swim team. Our concessions committee has made it easy to donate items for ALL the home meets (6/11, 7/9, 7/16), please sign up here. Items must be dropped off at the pool no later than 4.45pm on the meet day.
