LAKE SWIM, Friday, July 8th
Woodward Reservoir
No 1-2pm practice. 11 and overs may attend 8am or 12pm practice.
Permission slips for the lake swim are available to swimmers 13 years and older. Swimmers must be 13 by August 31st to attend the swim. Coaches will hand out forms and we will also email a copy to families. We do still need chaperones, as we will not be able to host the event without two to three adult supporters depending on the number of swimmers signed up. Please let us know if you are able to drive and/or provide boat support (I have two kayaks available).
RUTLAND SPRINTS Invitational Meet
Rutland Sprints is Saturday, July 9th. You can register through Maddie, though we will not enter swimmers without having first received the $5 fee. Swimmers may also register the day of the meet at the Rutland Pool. Please contact Maddie with any questions or concerns.
QUECHEE MEET
Tuesday, July 12th:
We have emailed the list of preentered athletes for the Quechee meet on Tuesday, July 12th based on our yellow meet check-off lists. If your swimmer is not on the entry list and would like to compete, please let us know as soon as possible. Coaches will select events from those listed next to swimmer names. If swimmers have specific entry requests, they should let us know by Friday, July 8th. We will not be able to make any changes to the individual entries after 2pm on Monday. Quechee has a 5-lane pool and they did want to let everyone know that there will be no concessions available at the meet, so please be sure to pack food and drinks. This will be the first time Quechee has hosted WST, so please arrive a little early so you can find your way around!
Arrive by: 4:15
Warm-ups: 4:30
Timers/Officials Meeting: 4:45 (Please let me know if you can officiate the meet. We are required to have at least two stroke and turn officials at every meet. The more officials we have, the fewer hours you work!)
Meet Start: 5:00pm
