Conference sign up updates
Hello team,
Conference Sign-ups - Our coaches have asked that we reach out and encourage families to declare for the Tri-County Conference Meet (July 29th and July 30th) ASAP. Our official deadline to sign up for the meet is next Monday, July 17th, but the sooner we know if your swimmer(s) are available, the better for our coaching staff. We appreciate you doing this if you haven't already done so, at your earliest convenience. If you have questions about the conference meet, I have included the details at the bottom of this email.
Conference Volunteer Sign-ups - A HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who have already signed up for Conference weekend shifts!! We have most of our shifts covered, but still have shifts we need filled for the weekend. If you haven't already signed up, please take a look and see where you can help us host this amazing event!
Basket Raffle Sign-ups and totes - Another HUGE THANK YOU to those of you who have signed up to donate basket raffle items for our conference meet! There are totes at the indoor and outdoor pool to place donated items in. The totes are labeled by age group/theme. 8 and under, 9-10, and 11-12 have totes. There is an envelope for the 13-14 gift cards and the 15-18's Venmo the money to Brook Myers. Please see the sign ups below to sign up for remaining items and for details. Feel free to go in with other families for larger basket raffle items/more expensive basket items.
- 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.
