Timers needed
We need 3-5 more volunteers for this Friday. Please volunteer so that senior parents can sit back and enjoy their child's last regular season meet.
We have volunteered to provide 6 timers for the Girls Sectional meet (we are splitting this duty with Orange & OHS). The 3 schools will receive a total of $200 to split as a result and all timers get free admission. I would like to have 12 volunteers so that we can split the 6 timing spots up (each person would time half of the meet).
Please sign up for timing here:

Attendance Reminder
I want to congratulate the team as a whole for being very conscientious this year about getting to practice. As a group our attendance has been very good this year. However, we still have individuals missing practice due to poor planning. Many of these individuals are neglecting to have a parent send along a note to excuse themselves from practice. An unexcused absence results in suspension from the next swim meet.
Meet Friday

Bus leaves at 4:25
Meet starts at 5:35
Line-up will be announced at Thursdays practice.
This pool is standing room only!
