Skyline Sunday Scoop #15

After a crazy swim meet schedule last week, it will be nice to have a week with only one meet, but it will still be a busy week heading into the home stretch!

LSSL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP - FRIDAY, JULY 26 AND SATURDAY, JULY 27 - MANHEIM (REMINDER)

IF YOUR SWIMMER HAS QUALIFIED FOR LEAGUES - PLEASE GO IN AND DECLARE YOUR SWIMMER'S AVAILABILITY FOR SATURDAY, JULY 27 - IT IS NOW OPEN. 

I'VE ALSO OPENED TIMER VOLUNTEERS (WE MIGHT ONLY NEED YOU FOR A PORTION OF THE TIME - YESTERDAY WE ONLY HAD TO TIME THE SECOND HALF) 

  • Swimmers have 1 more meet to qualify- July 20 at Adamstown. 
  • The RELAY session is held Friday July 26 in the evening. There are NO qualifying times. We may enter 2 relays in each relay event (free and medley relay). The medley relay begins with backstroke, then breaststroke, next is fly, and last is free. Anyone can swim in the relay session so if your swimmer is available, and interested in swimming, please mark them as available for the relay portion of the meet. This does not guarantee your swimmer in a relay, but it will give them a chance. Coach Barb will choose the relays based off of best times. If there are at least 8 swimmers interested, 2 relays will be entered. We need at least 4 to enter one relay. We love taking 2 relays, if we have enough swimmers available.

Practices - July 22-26 (NEW)

For those who will be swimming in the relays and individual events for All League Championships, practices will run on a modified schedule: 11 and over at 9 AM 10 and under at 10:00 AM
