A strong win over Park Forest! It was great to see the team come together, swim fast and cheer each other on. A special thank you to all our PARENT VOLUNTEERS who ran an amazing meet—hosting over 350 swimmers and their families! Seriously, we have the best parents volunteers!!
Please remember that it is important to stay to the end of the meet! If you must leave early, please check in with a coach to make sure you are not in or needed for a free relay. Thank you!
Parents, please remember that swim meets are not a drop off event. You or another adult must be directly responsible for your child throughout the meet.
