Village West Vikings host the Daventry Dolphins 7/13

Declare for this meet by Sunday 7/12 at noon! OUR LAST HOME MEET OF THE SEASON!!!

A “B” meet is an unscored meet where all swimmers are invited to swim and gain competitive experience. No one wins or loses, so it is very low pressure! Swimmers are just trying to do their best and improve their own times.

We will have a Lollipop Race for Little Vikings at 6:15 in the shallow end. All are invited!

We have quite a few job positions we still need filled. If you have a child swimming, please do your best to have at least one adult volunteering!

If you are not lugging equipment to the pool, please park in the neighborhood to save the parking lot for our guests. Thank you for your kindness!

Arrive at Village West by 5:15PM to be ready for 5:30PM warmups. Older swimmers and families are encouraged to arrive earlier (430PM+) to help set up the pool!

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, and being supportive and encouraging to all swimmers on both teams.
