Swim meets are every Saturday June 14–July 26, with the exceptions of the weekend of July 5th

All swimmers are required to participate in at least 3 meets. If you have to miss a meet, I need a note or email IN WRITING at least 2 weeks before the scheduled meet. You must swim in at least 2 meets to be eligible for the Championship Meet.

Swim meets are about 6 hours long, please pack extra clothing, towels, and healthy snacks for your swimmer on meet days.

We have 2 HOME meets. We need timers, heat organizers, crowd control, stroke judges, starters, scorers, ribbons, setup, clean up, and more. We will be sending out sign up forms. Each family is required to volunteer for 6 hours throughout the season. You may choose to pay a fee of $120 in lieu of your volunteer hours. Volunteer requirements must be met regardless of how much you participate on the swim team.

The dates of our home meets are June 21, June 28, and July 19. Our home meets will be held at the Ranch Country Club.

End of the season celebration:
We will have a team party to celebrate the season at The Ranch Country Club on Sunday, July 27th. Details to follow.

The cost for the entire swim season is $400 for the first child in the family and $350 for each child after. These dues include coaching, swim meets, and a team swim cap. There are additional costs for swimsuit, spirit gear, and end of the season banquet.

Equipment:
Team Suits: Team suits are not required, but we look more cohesive as a team when we have them. Girls $50 Boys $30
