Parent Relays Saturday!
Parents and kids!
Time to sign up for the Parent Relay to be held Saturday, June 29th! It will be a fun and funny way to celebrate our season! There will be 2 relays for the kids, but we also need them to help run the event. There is a sign-up on the window by the bathrooms in the clubhouse where the kids can sign up to be MC, Starter, Timer or Swimmer. Also, the main events are listed below along with the rules. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Rules – each team must have at least 2 swimmers with no more than 4 swimmers. Teams with only 2 swimmers must alternate swimmers for relays. Points will be awarded on the following basis: 1st – 20 points, 2nd – 15 points, 3rd – 10 points, 4th – 5 points. Only the Individual Medley will be a timed event and individual points will go to the overall team score. Good luck, parents!
