Hi Walruses,

Happy Monday! We are officially in week 3 of the season. The coaches have been very impressed by everyone’s hard work- we are excited to see what the rest of the summer brings. Our first swim meet is this Saturday, June 20th, at SCCA. If you are planning on attending, please see the following:

• When & Where:
  • Please arrive at the pool by 6:50am
  • Warm ups for Willow Springs will be from 7:15am - 7:35am
  • Meet will start at 8:00 am
  • Pool address: 313 Tulane Dr, Fort Collins, CO 80525
• What to Bring:
  • Swimsuit & Goggles
  • Willow Springs swim cap (required for swim meets, can be purchased from coaches for $12)
  • Comfortable clothes for before/after/in-between races
  • Towels
  • Water!
  • Snacks
  • Sun protection
• Entries:
  • Please have your meet entries submitted in Swimtopia (team site) by Thursday, 6/18 at 12pm.
  • If you have questions about what your swimmer should sign up for, please find me on the pool deck or send me an email.
  • All swimmers can do a max of 3 individual events and 2 relays. 
  • Please note whether your swimmer is interested/available to do a relay. It is difficult to fill holes on relays day-of.
• Set Up:
  • SCCA has a ton of grassy space next to the pool. We will bring a large pop up tent, but please bring chairs, blankets, etc.
• Concessions:
  • SCCA will be selling concessions (lots of donuts, burritos, coffee and other items)
  • Please do not rely on the concessions, bring plenty of snacks and water!
• Volunteers
  • I will be opening a few positions for volunteers- one to be in charge of the delivery/set up/breakdown of the pop-up tent, and a few that will assist in “wrangling” the relays.
  • There may be a few timing slots available, but I am waiting on the SCCA head coach’s response.

It is going to be a fun meet! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Lily Morey
