An amazing aquatics season will end with the State Meet at Summer Games. In order to shorten the length of the swimming day at Summer Games and to better highlight our developmental swimmers, we have made a number of changes to the swim schedule for this year's State Meet.

We will run all relays on Friday night, immediately following the Opening Ceremonies. Once the Ceremonies have come to an end, you will need to bring all relay swimmers to the pool. Warm ups will begin at 8 pm and races will start at 8:30.

Our developmental swimmers will open the day on Saturday, with warm ups for developmental events starting at 8 am ahead of the races which will get underway at 8:30.

Our short course races will move later in the day. Short course warm-ups will open at 10:30 and those races will begin at 11:10 am.

Bag lunches will be served Saturday from 11:15-1:30.

In addition to shortening the day on Saturday, we hope that this will give our swimmers more time to enjoy the benefits of participating in Healthy Athletes screenings and to enjoy time at Olympic Town. Healthy athletes will be open from 10 am-4 pm on Saturday and Olympic Town's hours are 11-3:30.
