• Attire on meet days: Athletes should wear their team t-shirts and warm-ups on meet days, along with their team swimsuit. (New swimmers to the team will not get their warm-ups until after November 7. All swimmers should have their team t-shirt.)
• Volunteer requirements: We ask that each family volunteer a minimum of 5 times over the season. This can be timing or other jobs during the meets, or it can be donating snacks or drinks for a meet, or it can be providing part of the meal for the team pasta dinners. All of these opportunities to volunteer can be found in SwimTopia by clicking the green ‘JOB SIGNUP’ button next to each entry for a meet or pasta dinner.
