Practice notes: This is the last week of practice for all of our Group 1 and G1 Elite swimmers.  There will be no evening practices for any group after this week.  Group 2 swimmers who have been attending morning workouts this summer may attend all remaining morning workouts with Group 3.  Group 3 will practice through at least Friday August 5th and quite possibly through the 12th.  We will not charge training fees for swimmers who attend practices in August.

Summer Divisionals
Our entry has been sent.  Please double check for accuracy.  If you notice any errors please let me know ASAP.  I can make changes to our entry without penalty through tomorrow.  Please let me know if you notice any mistakes by the end of practice tomorrow evening.

Here are the pertinent times for the weekend:

Saturday and Sunday Prelims

Warmups 7:30-8:45 (our swimmers should be on deck by 7:45, yes 7:45. This is not a typo)
Meet starts 9:00

Saturday and Sunday Finals
Warm-ups 3:30-4:15 (our swimmers should be on deck by 3:30)
Meet starts 4:30

Fall and Winter Season
Our on-line registration platform will be active starting Monday August 1st.  Our first official practice for the fall will Tuesday September 6th.  

New for this season is we will be asking all Group 3 members to volunteer 4 hours during the upcoming season. This can either be assisting our coaching staff with our Group 1 practices or lifeguarding any of the Group 1 or Group 2 practices.

We will also be changing the meet surcharge a little as well.  Last fall and winter season we charged $26 at registration.  This year we will charge $15 at registration and add $1 to the meet entry fees for each meet a swimmer attends.

Swim Fest
We have had a great start to the meet.  Several best times and new team records have been established. A huge shout-out for Sammy Sierra who became our club's 6th state champion and our first boy to stand on the top step of the podium.  You can follow all the action today on your meet mobile app under SwimFest.  I will post pics of any of our swimmers who medal on all of our social media sites.  The final results and updates to all the pertinent pages on website will be up as soon as possible.
