Intersquad Meet

ATTENTION PARENTS, we need your help! This is a great opportunity to learn how a swim meet is run, how to time, etc. It is also a great time to meet other swim parents. Look for the volunteer sign-up sheet posted at the pool.
This meet is intended for all Monarch swimmers, but particularly those who have never competed in a meet before. We want this to be a chance for new swimmers and parents to understand what is expected of them, before our short course season begins. We will slow the meet down as needed to assist swimmers.
