All Swim Team and Practice Squad members attend this kids-only event with the coaches on May 29 from 5:30-7 pm. Dinner will be served, but they WILL NOT be swimming, so no suits needed.

ALL PARENT MEETING: TUESDAY, MAY 29

Please attend this all parent meeting at the pool May 29 at 6 p.m. during the kids-only kick-off dinner. We’ll review important changes and information for the season. Team suits and apparel ordered from Out of Breath Sports and t-shirts will be available for pick up. 

INTERSQUAD MEET: WEDNESDAY, MAY 30 AT 4:30 PM 

We’re excited to host the Wednesday, May 30, Neptunes-only Intersquad meet to give everyone an opportunity to warm-up for the season! This is not an official RMSL meet, so – although we will be timing swimmers – times will not be recorded, no ribbons will be awarded, and no pool or league records can be broken.

All members of the Practice Squad and Swim Team can participate. Watch for details in the Neptune News on Sunday, May 20, inclduing instructions to sign-up for the meet and volunteer jobs. 

*To view your volunteer assignments for the season, log in to Swimtopia and go to the “my account” tab. Your meet jobs will be listed as soon as you sign up each week for your job and if you click on the parent names it will show you what social/fundraising events you already signed up for.

Please email or call any of us with questions. Thank you all for being a part of this amazing team!
