Hello Stingray families,

The board and coaches are keeping a very close eye on the weather. We are all hoping for the best outcome and have brainstormed possible solutions if necessary. At this time, the meet will continue on as planned. If plans change, we will update everyone by 7pm tonight.

This will be our first dual meet. Last week was successful and fun. It was good to see all the families back at the pool with lots of new faces as well.

Please be aware that we did end early last week; however, all meets moving forward will not end as early. There will always be double the swimmers as well as relay events that take place. It will be a full day of swimming and fun.

Below is some information that you will need for this weeks home meet vs Oakridge North Otters.

If at any point after Tuesday you realize your swimmer will not be able to swim in the meet is very important that you call or text Coach Nina.
