GOWER AWAY MEET INFORMATION:
THURSDAY 6/9: Away meet at Gower. At this time the meet entries are closed. If you did not declare your swimmer, we are assuming they are not swimming in this meet and are not signed up for any events.
Meet starts at 4:00 PM
Warm-up times and additional meet details will be sent out tomorrow!
VOLUNTEER INFO:
We still have a number of volunteer positions open that we need
filled. We have a lot of families on vacation for this meet, so if your family
is able to work more than one slot we would greatly appreciate it! Because this
meet is away we do not have options like concessions or hospitality, so you
will need to select from timer, ribbons, tent parent, or clerk of course. The
only one of those positions that needs certification is timer. Head to
SwimTopia now to sign up. https://scrsharks.
If you need a refresher on what each job does, you can watch the volunteer
