SUNDAY - June 17th

B Meet Signup Due

The deadline to signup for the first B Meet is Sunday (June 17th) at NOON. If you are not listed in the line-up for an A meet we encourage everyone to participate in B meet. B meets are for up & coming swimmers who are seeking to perfect their strokes & get into an A meet line-up. When signing up for the meet, please sign up for a job for the meet. Generally speaking, swimmers can elect what to swim in a B meet unless HC Jorge makes the decision that the swimmer is simply not ready, or if the swimmer swam that event at the prior A meet. For detailed information we ask that you review the Team Handbook in the "About" section available on our homepage.
