Hi Team-

I have a huge update for you all, with lots of interactive details. So get excited!

First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who was able to come and help out at meet yesterday! It was super fun to have all that energy and fast swimming on a Tuesday! I know mid-week meets are a challenge so thank you! The results file has been updated and is on our schedule tab of our website under past events. I have also attached it below.

Officiating:

Thanks to those of you who stayed for the meeting after. 

Here is our team link to USA swimming membership. You can register yourself as an official/parent for our team. Then click on the education tab and take the official course online either stroke and turn or administrative official. As I mentioned in the meeting, this is the single most important thing you can do as a parent to make sure we have sanctioned swim meets at our home pool. CVSA will pay for your USA swim membership, all your education costs, and give you a discount on your swimmer registration fees for next season if you get certified. Let me know if you have any questions. Please consider starting the training.
