Hello Hurricanes!

Our first A meet is taking place this Saturday, and we will be hosting Riverside Gardens.

POTLUCK & PEP RALLY | PASTA NIGHT

Join us Friday, June 13 at 6p to fuel up and get excited for the upcoming meet! Be sure to check the Potluck Event for your food assignments and all the details. We’re especially looking forward to seeing our Little Fins meet their Big Fins and hope to see all our Hurricane families there!

MEET SETUP

On Friday evening, after 8:50p, we can start prepping for Saturday morning—set up the Data Table and Announcer Station, arrange chairs and stanchions, prepare team areas with lounge chairs and benches for the Clerk of Course, etc.. We’ll keep in mind the members enjoying the Lower Pool, but we can get a head start.

The meet sheet is ready and can be downloaded here: https://hrahurricanes.swimtopia.com/resources

Please review the meet sheet carefully for your swimmer(s) name(s). We have some swim-ups for this meet so that you may find your swimmer(s) in an older age group. If your swimmer(s) weren’t selected to swim Saturday, we welcome you to come and cheer on the team! Stay tuned for more details regarding the upcoming ‘B’ meet.

The order of events will be freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and finishing with relays. Swimmers will cheer for their teammates from the team area, and coaches will direct them to the Clerk of Course benches when it’s time for their events.

The theme is Tropical—come dressed for an island vacation!
