8&Under Meet
Parents of all 8&Unders, you do not want to miss this event! Every swimmer, no matter the skill level, can attend this meet and it is the perfect opportunity for your swimmer to show off their new skills in the pool. This is a very relaxed event (compared to normal meets). We try to fill most volunteer roles with senior swimmers, but we may need you to fill in some holes if you can. Come ready to cheer on your swimmer and jump in to volunteer where needed. Be sure to register your swimmer online by Monday if you plan to attend.

Banquet
This year we are hosting our banquet on Thursday, July 27 at 6pm. Our event is being catered by Buddy’s Bar-B-Q. We are able to cover the cost of our swimmers to enjoy dinner but are asking for a $10 donation at the door for all others attending. We cannot wait to celebrate the season, acknowledge our accomplishments in the pool, and see everyone in real clothes!!! Please RSVP online so we can prepare accurately for seating and food.

• Parking passes will be available to pick up at the pool during practices beginning on Tuesday, July 18 at 11am
• Tshirts will be passed out each day at City Meet
• Weekend Schedule
  • Thursday (10&U) - Arrive by 1pm / Warm-ups at 1:20pm / Meet start at 3pm

  Hello!
  
  Required Worker positions for City Meet have now been posted! Please note that shift times are subject to change, but the Day and Time that are required for check-in for your particular shift are in the notes. Failure to check in during those time windows will result in both lost points for our swimmers and a monetary fine, so please make sure you will be able to fulfill the position you sign up for.
  
  This year GKAISA is also requiring our workers who have signed up to be a Timer to attend a mandatory Zoom Timer's meeting on Wednesday night, July 19th at 7pm. The link will be shared with those who sign up by email on Wednesday.
  
  As our season comes to a close, we want to extend a special thank you to those of you who have stepped up and been on time and available to help run these meets. Our workers have been rockstars this year and we are so appreciative of your help. If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected].
  
  Thanks,
  Claude and Hana
