Happy Monday Killer Whales!

This summer has flown by and here we are at the last meet of the year. We've had such a great year watching the team bond and grow together and it's hard to see it come to an end. We have two more events to spend together before that happens though and we'll soak up every moment! Please note there is no more practice after tomorrow's morning practice. 

Tomorrow we are swimming against the Medfield Sharks (away).  The weather will be hot, please read their notes for info on cooling-off options and seating shade tips. 

Please RSVP attending/not attending our 7/20 Awards celebration this weekend. We'll email out a program on Friday. We love celebrating everyone's hard work and hope to see you there! 

Let's go Killer Whales!

Street parking is allowed, please stay on only one side to allow emergency vehicles to come through. On Baker Rd, we will have cones and signs blocking off the right side of the street past King Lawrence as you approach the pool parking lot.

Visiting Team Seating: As you walk into the pool area, visiting team seating is to the left side of the pool deck. We have tennis courts with good shade that overlook the pool area and are encouraging parents and spectators from both teams to sit there so that the deck won't be so crowded. Your swimmers may also use the small field outside the fence behind the clerk of course. Shade tents are recommended for on deck seating.

Restricted area: please avoid sitting in the grass directly behind the blocks/Clerk of Court are to leave it open for swimmer traffic flow.

Cooling Off: We will have two breaks for everyone to hop in the pool. Right after freestyle and breaststroke. It is our senior night so while people are in the pool we will do senior recognition during the break at breaststroke. Our shallow end will be open during the meet for anyone who needs a quick dip. Please refrain from hanging out in the pool but a quick dip to cool off is okay. We will also have a misting tent set up on the pool deck for anyone to use to cool off.
