Watertown Make-Up Meet Information

Hi team, There will be no land work training for the older swimmers before the meet on Friday.  We will not be using the games room. Swimmers are to report to the larger set of benches for the meet. Parents may use the smaller set of benches and chairs will be put out if we need them. To speed up the meet we will skip relays and instead use the relay times from the meet the following day for scoring. We will have a few extra events for the 9-10s and 13 ups to get accurate times for relays as they swim different distances in relays then their usual solo events. Follow these links to volunteer for the meet: 12 and Under Meet:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4aa8a82ba2fc1-12andunder 13 and Up Meet:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4aa8a82ba2fc1-13andup Thank you, Carol

Hello Team, Schedule Updates: Make-Up Watertown Meet: Friday 1/12: 12 and under at 5 pm, 13 up at 7 pm. We have been unable to find a date that works for both teams so we will be doing a “Timed Meet”. Our team will race this Friday in our own pool. Watertown will race in their pool at their convenience. We will share our times and see who won! If you cannot attend the Friday Make-up Meet please use this link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4aa8a82ba2fc1-watertown1 There will be no check in, attendance will be taken by the cards as we call them. We will post the events on the wall and attempt to email them out before hand.  We will start warm ups for the 12 and under right at 5 pm and go into racing directly afterward. We hope to be ready for the 13 and ups by 7 pm. We will also include some split timing for better relay planning for 9-10s and 13 ups only as the other age groups swims the same distance in solo and relay events. We will need 10 volunte
