Hello parents and swimmers!

Coaches are meeting at 2 pm (not 4 pm) today to do the meet lineups for next week so please let us know whether or not you/your swimmer will participate in the two upcoming meet (Tues & Thurs) no later than 2 pm today (the sooner the better) by responding via swimtopia. It is immensely helpful to let us know, whether “attending” or “not attending.” If you leave it as “undeclared” we are left wondering if you simply forgot to sign up, or if you are not coming. Currently at least 1/3 of the team is undeclared, and in some age groups, over half of the swimmers are undeclared. If you plan to swim but do not declare in swimtopia, the system will not allow us to enter you in the meet. So please, take a minute to login and make your intentions know. Thanks!
