Hello Swim Families!

In preparation for our upcoming Time Trials, please see below for all relevant details.

Who is eligible to swim? Everyone on the swim team, except waterspouts

Everyone will swim all four strokes, there will be no IM or relays. If your swimmer does not know all four strokes then we will not make them swim all four. We want to get the top times from everyone so that we have the best representation of our team when we swim Vienna Aquatic Club the following week 

Please declare your swimmers participation on the swimtopia site

Volunteers: We still need many volunteers. We can’t run the meet without your help. Please sign up today.

Per NVSL standards, all officials should wear a white top and navy bottoms.
