2023 Season Information
Season preparations are in full swing!
Registration Dates: Returning families may register beginning February 1
New Swimmers will be able to register once they have attended one of our swim test events.
Swim Tests: All new swimmers must attend one of our swim tests and be approved by the team. To pass the swim test the swimmer must be able to show they can safely swim across our 25yd pool, they do not have to show that they are legal in any of the 4 strokes, these skills will be taught during practices. 2023 dates are TBD, we will release this information as soon as it is available.
Practices: The season will run May 1 - July 8. Practices are Monday - Friday. During May we practice in the evening after school, once school is out for the summer practices move to the morning. Details on practice times are still being finalized. There will be no practice on Memorial Day, May 29, or July 4th. **Swimmers under the age of 11yrs old must have a parent/guardian or another adult appointed by parent/guardian, onsite throughout practice.**
Swim Meets: Time Trials will be held Saturday, May 20 and the regular season meets begin May 27. Divisionals, July 8. Invitationals, July 9. The final schedule is being worked on by the NWSC and they will release it when it is ready. We ask that you attend as many meets as possible. All swimmers that swim in 2 regular season meets are eligible for Divisionals (time trials does not count).
Declaring for a Meet: It is extremely important that when the meet opens you declare your swimmer as attending or not attending. An email will go out weekly letting you know which swim meet is now open for declaring, once a meet closes we cannot add swimmers so please declare as soon as you receive the email.
Volunteering: We rely on volunteers to be able to run our swim meets! We cannot do this without you. All parents/guardians are required to volunteer for at least half a meet in order for their swimmer to be eligible to swim in the meet. Volunteer sign ups open when the meet is open for declaring swimmers (see above)
Swimtopia App: We utilize the app for all swim meet updates, announcements, etc. It is very helpful to have. Once you are registered as a member of the team your username and password will be the same for the app.
