Donate Concessions for Home 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 (6/16, 6/23, 7/14), please sign up here. Items must be dropped off at the pool no later than 4.45pm on the meet day.
All swimmers should bring swim caps*, goggles, towels, and water bottles to practice
*Caps are REQUIRED for all swimmers with hair that passes their eyebrows (boys and girls), this is a safety issue to prevent hair from getting in eyes or tangled in lane ropes.
