Village West hosts Laurel Hill A Meet #4

The Village West Vikings are hosting the Laurel Hill Tritons for our fourth A Meet this Saturday, 7/11. If your Vikings are swimming in this meet, please read this email carefully for important information. Check the schedule below for an earlier timeline to celebrate our seniors!

We will not be doing a Lollipop Race at this meet so that we have time to celebrate our seniors at their final home A meet. At 830AM, all Vikings (Little, too!) are invited to sit at the edge of the dive well to cheer, and kick their legs in the water while our seniors take a fun jump or dive into the pool.

Note: We had a couple changes in the events some of our 9/10 boys are swimming so far. Check SwimTopia to see any updates ahead of the heat sheet coming out on Friday!

Expectations: We expect to see great sportsmanship from all of our swimmers. Parents, please talk to your swimmers about this expectation. This includes cheering/clapping politely for the other team, staying in the water after a race until all swimmers are finished, shaking hands across lanes after races, being supportive and encouraging to all swimmers on both teams, and being gracious even in defeat.

Meet Theme: All Pink!
