Good morning,

Currently we have 62 swimmers declared for the Tri-county conference swim meet on July 30th-31st. When the conference meet was held 3 years ago, our team got 3rd place with a full roster of swimmers. Currently we only have four 8 and under girls and three 8 and under boys signed up for the meet. The rest of our age groups are looking much smaller than we normally have swimming at our dual meets. (We normally have 90-100 swimmers competing)

If you aren't sure if your swimmer would qualify to swim events for conference, PLEASE ask their coach, or just sign them up if you are willing to spend the weekend with us at this amazing end of the season championship meet. It takes a full roster of swimmers to score points for our team, and in most cases, we can find an event for your swimmer to compete in. The deadline to declare for the conference swim meet is Monday, July 18th. This is a HARD deadline, as our coaches need to put line ups together right away so families can prepare.

In the event you declare your swimmer for the conference meet and they do not qualify for an individual event to compete in, there is an additional opportunity for your swimmer(s). It is called the Tri-County Invite meet. 

The Tri-County invite meet is held on Tuesday, July 26th starting at 6pm in Cross Plains. This meet is meant for swimmers who have committed to the conference meet, but did not qualify for individual events. If your swimmer meets this criteria, they will be invited by their coach to attend the Invite meet on the 26th. This is an individual meet ONLY. There are no relays. Medals will be awarded for 1st-3rd place and ribbons for 4th-8th place. There will also be heat winner prizes. 

Again, this is ONLY for swimmers declared for the conference meet who are not entered into an individual event for conference. Your swimmer still needs to have swam in at least 3 dual meets to qualify. Your swimmer may be entered for relays at conference, but not individual events, and still swim the Invite. This is an opportunity for our swimmers who want to help our team compete at the conference meet, to have an opportunity to compete individually at the end of the season. You will be notified by myself and/or a coach if you swimmer qualifies for this invite as soon as our coaches complete their conference line-ups next week. 

This is a new event for our team this year. Please reach out to myself, or any of our coaches with questions.
