City Meet:

If your swimmer is not interested please indicate that on Swimtopia, it makes a world of difference in helping us prepare for the meets.

Our last Horsetooth League meet is on Friday, July 21st at Bucking Horse (2240 Nancy Grey Ave). City will look different this year, the meet has been divided into 4 different locations, we will swim against Bucking Horse, Observatory and Centennial Rec. All swimmers will compete on Friday (there is no Saturday little kid meet). The cost of the City Meet is $12 dollars per swimmer and you will need to sign up through Swimtopia by Monday, July 17th by noon. No late entries will be accepted as this is an away meet. In the past we have been able to pay a fine to turn in late entrees but that is not an option this year. Fees (cash or check made out to WSST) for the meet will be due by Tuesday, 9 am (the end of morning practice). If you have questions about what to swim please feel free to reach out to a coach. You can choose up to 4 individual events and then will be considered for a relay.

We are required to provide volunteers for City Meet. If you have a swimmer participating please plan on signing up for a volunteer shift at this event, this will be one of the last opportunities to get credits for your volunteer hours. We can not participate unless we have parents volunteering for a variety of jobs and we will post those through Swimtopia by Saturday, July 15th. We will need to time for two lanes the entire meet, help in the heating shed and have an official.

This will be a long meet, please come prepared to swim from our warm up time of 6:50 - 7:10am to 2pm (educated guess). We have had families leave the meet early often missing the last relay. When you sign up please mark your availability as it causes relays to scramble and potentially not participate and we can not sub kids in at City.

This is a tightly run meet in terms of DQ’s (disqualifications: please remind your swimmers to:

• Finish on their backs for Back
• NOT scissor kick on Breast
• Keep feet/legs together on Fly
• Dive only after buzzer
• Only do 1 stroke when flipping for Back
• TWO HAND TOUCHES for Breast an Fly
• Stay off the bottom of pool
• Not pull on the lane lines

Coming up:

Team photo will be taken on July 19th in between the two practices- please plan on being ready to go by 7:50!

Our team's end of the year party- TBD!

Credit Hours:

We have asked each family that is swimming this year to volunteer for three credits or pay $100. If you have not fulfilled your hours please consider helping us plan the end of the year party. Contact the board by emailing us to volunteer. Speaking of volunteers…consider helping the team by serving on the board next year or doing our taxes if that is your talent!

Take care & go Walruses!
