Greetings Team and Parents,
Our first “meet”, the Black & Blue Time Trials Meet, is coming up this Saturday, October 25! Indicate if you are attending this meet on SwimTopia before practice on October 22. In a time trial meet, swimmers usually swim most events so they can establish baseline times. If you plan on coming to watch, bring a folding chair. Space will be limited.
