Divisonals/Senior State/Age Group State
All information for these meets is included in the meet letters attached to their respective meet info pages on our website.  These meets will require parents to commit their swimmer.  Swimmers will not be automatically entered.  

Our deadline for the Divisional meet is the weekend before our last regular season meet.  If a swimmer achieves a new cut at the CON meet they will still be allowed to enter the meet.  If you believe your swimmer may fall into this category please commit them so I am aware of your intention of sending them to the meet.  You can click here to view the time standards by clicking here.  You can view all of our swimmers who have qualified by clicking here

End of Fall/Winter Season Start of Spring/Summer Season
At the beginning of this season we implemented several administrative changes for our program.  In past years only swimmers who had qualified for the championship meets were allowed to continue swimming in March.  This yearall swimmers are being allowed to continue even if they have not met any time standards.  Also new for our club is we have eliminated the spring registration for swimmers who participated in the fall/winter season.  If your swimmer is currently registered they will also be registered for the spring and summer.

If you decided you no longer want to participate, at any time please, send an email prior to the first of the month to avoid being charged.  For example if you are choosing to stop swimming after the CON meet I will need an email prior to March 1st.  If you are deciding not to swim the spring and summer season I will need an email before April 1st.

Our last practice for Group 1 and Group 2 swimmers for this season will be March 24th.  Our last day for Group 3 swimmers will be March 30 or 31st.  Our first day of spring practice will be Monday April 11th for Group 2 and Group 3 and Tuesday the 12th for Group 1.

As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
