Here is information about meets this summer. I
leave for graduation once I finish this email so any emails in my box now will
be answered when I return on Monday. I will update the website next week.
Since I do not have the website ready for sign ups,
please sign up by email for any or all of these meets. (Deadlines for sign ups
are indicated for meet.) I know many of you are great about taking care of this
as the email comes in so do it today and be done with it. You do need to
tell me a few more details about the first meet than usual so please read
through the info carefully.
New families, it’s always better to sign up now and
cancel later if needed.
Remember, you need 2 meets in order to compete at Champs
in August. June 8th counts as 2 meets if you participate in both.
June 8: sign up for both meets or just one. UNH indoor
pool.
