Opening Meet Information (including Directions)

The opening meet for this season will be this next Thursday, June 14th against the McDowell Mariners in Marion. Warm-ups begin at 5pm, so please be on time! The drive from the Valdese pool will take roughly 40 minutes, so please plan to leave in plenty of time.

Please sign your child up in the binder at the pool desk. IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT SIGNED UP, THEY WILL NOT BE ENTERED!


PARENTS: Even though the meet is an away meet, parents will be expected to help with meet operations in some form or fashion. We will need a total of 24 timers to help over the course of the meet. We will also need a couple of parents to assist with stroke and turn judging. NOTE: This meet is prior to our stroke and turn training. If you intend to attend the training, this is a great opportunity to shadow a judge and see what the stroke and turn position is all about.
