    Don’t forget to sign up on Swimtopia (our team's website) to bring your favorite pasta dish, side, or dessert. Or, you can sign up to bring the needed paper products or to help serve at the picnic. We want to make sure we have plenty of food and supplies for all to share.

    We will still need volunteers for our away meet so please consider signing up when you declare your swimmer/s.

    Eligibility:

      1. If you swim an event in the A meet, you are not allowed to swim the same event in the following B meet, with the exception of freestyle (see exception below). A swimmer MAY swim any of their off-strokes in the B meet, regardless of how many events they swam in the A meet.
      2. The A meet limit of strokes (3 + IM + relay) does not apply to B meets. There is not a limit to the number of events a B swimmer may swim in a B meet, e.g. if a B swimmer wishes to swim all five events, they may. This will ensure that each swimmer (A or B) gets ONE chance to swim each stroke each once a week.
      3. If you are a usual A swimmer who misses an A meet, you are not eligible to swim your normal strokes in the following B meet.
      4. Any swimmer who has an MCSL “All Star” time in a stroke is not allowed to swim that stroke in a B meet (even if it is the off stroke.)

      Freestyle Exception: A swimmer is eligible to swim freestyle in a B meet as long as they did not place 1st through 6th in the previous A meet (i.e. the swimmer is eligible if they finished 7th through 12th place).

    We want to make sure all of our swimmers can participate in this great team building event, so please contact Cyndi Gregory ([email protected]) if your child has any food allergies. She will be happy to work with you to be sure there is a safe option available for all.
