Here are the important updates you need for the coming week:

Volunteer needs for Brookstone meet

We are still in need of many volunteers for our away meet at Brookstone. We need Kid Pushers, Timers, Order of Finish Judge,& a Clerk of Course. Please consider signing up, even if you have met your minimum requirement. These meets are 100% volunteer run and cannot operate smoothly without your help!

Our next Meet - Tuesday July 1st at Brookstone

We will send out a separate email with location, arrival times, and more specific details by Sunday.

  • Sign up your child or decline by tomorrow, Friday June 27th at 11:30pm.
  • Bring goggles, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, towels, black swimsuit with Anacondas logo, food or money for concessions, a towel or small chair to sit
  • Write the swimmer name on their upper right back with Sharpie marker. We will have markers at Volunteer Check-in also.
  • Supervise your swimmer to ensure they are being safe and respectful throughout the entire meet.
  • Swimmers should stay near their age group tent area as much as possible. Have your child communicate with their kid pusher if they need to leave their tent area so your swimmer doesn’t miss their time to swim. Remember that volunteers have limited ability to find swimmers who are not staying in their designated areas.
  • Ensure your child cleans their space and gathers their belongings before leaving.
