Hello team,

As most of you know, our team will be hosting the 2023 Tri-County Conference Championship meet at our indoor pool Saturday July 29th and Sunday July 30th. Below is all the information you will need to know about meet sign up, eligibility, the conference line up selection process, the Tri-County Conference Invite meet and other important deadlines and information. We have 3 deadlines due this Sunday July 9th at 11:59pm. This is a quick turnaround. Please read through this entire email carefully and let me or any member of our coaching staff or board members know if you have any questions. 

• Tri-County Conference Swim Meet 7/29-7/30 - This is the culminating event for our season. All 8 teams compete against each other in a championship meet over the course of 2 days. We are allowed ONLY 3 entries per event (time based). Not everyone is guaranteed to swim at conference. Please declare either way as soon as you know your availability so coaches can start to put lineups together. The meet is available to sign up. Entries are due Monday, July 17th at 11:59pm. Day 1 (Saturday) Individual events/prelims. Day 2 (Sunday) Relays and finals (Top 16) Swimmers who want to swim for conference final places MUST swim in at least 3 dual meets this summer to be eligible to swim in this meet.

• 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 17th. 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 will be held on Tuesday, July 25th starting at 5pm in Sun Prairie. Our warm ups would be from 4:10-4:30pm. 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 25th. 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 your swimmer qualifies for this invite as soon as our coaches know.
• WE ARE HOSTING CONFERENCE!!! - This year we are hosting the Tri-county Conference meet. This only happens once every 8 years and is a HUGE fundraiser for our team. We will need ALL HANDS ON DECK! We will need 80-90 volunteer EACH DAY. Please plan to volunteer for at least 1 shift per day whether you have a swimmer swimming in the meet or not. If your family is able to volunteer for more than 1 shift per day, we will need all the help we can get and encourage you to sign up for anything you can help with. Volunteer shifts are now open for sign up in Swimtopia.
