Here is a current list of items that are in need:
2. Lawns/camping chairs, Pop-Up tents. It will be hot in the sun and you will need the seat and shade!! We will put up the team tents, but that will not be enough for all, so if you have a tent and want to sit in comfort please bring it. 3. Side dish or Dessert: This year we are doing Side dishes (Last Name A-M) or Desserts (last name N-Z). PLEASE AVOID DISHES WITH NUTS DUE TO FOOD ALLERGIES ON THE TEAM.

If you forgot to say you would attend Piranha Relays but want to participate, feel free to join us and we will attempt to get you in as many fun relays as we can. Ms. Allison will have light refreshments and snacks available poolside during the even tomorrow AM, and I am looking for an announcer to narrate the festivities. You will find the link for the meet program below. Feel free to print out and share with your swimmers. This lineup is very difficult to complete as there is no automated template and it is therefore created entirely by hand. We look forward to seeing you in the AM to start and wrap up the 2023 summer swim season. |
