Hello Swim Families, 

Please take a moment to read through this whole message.

🐬Time Trials: Time Trials are TODAY at 5pm at the BBW Pool. Come on Sunshine! It will be run just like a meet and initial times for each stroke will be recorded for our swimmers. Coaches use these times to help inform the heat line-ups for upcoming meets.

Please note:

• Swimmers should be at the pool by 5:00 for warm-ups.
• No one will be allowed in the pool (even in the shallow end after warmups) unless they are being timed for a stroke.
• Concessions will be available!
• Swim Meet 101 information for new families can be found on SwimTopia under the “Meets and Events” tab.
• Time Trials should run about 2 hours.
• We will run some freestyle relays for fun! 
• Have your swimmers bring extra towels and a sweatshirt today---it's chilly out there!
• If you cannot attend today, swimmer(s) will be timed during practices on TUESDAY, June 6th.
