Home Meet this weekend - Riverfront, MACR, Boone and South Suburban @ Ankeny

Warmups this Saturday will be from 11:00-11:30.  We will have Pre-Senior, Senior and Gold warmup from 11:00-11:15 and Silver and Maroon warmup from 11:15-11:25.  We will do starts as a group from 11:25-11:30.  It will be crowded, but the kids need to get in and get stretched out and get their hearts rates up a little.

All parents must volunteer at our home meets for the season. Please sign up by Nov. 9th for ALL 5 Home Swim Meets your swimmer will be competing in. To sign-up to volunteer at the Home Meets, please click on the following link:
