The official schedule has been released on our website and all meets are open for you to RSVP and sign up for volunteer spots!Let’s try and get those in now! Some side notes:

• Our senior meet is on the second home meet, third week of the season, because we know a lot of people usually are out that last week!
• We will be announcing our meet themes soon!

How to RSVP & sign up for volunteer spots:

From the website:

• On the right-hand side of the page, you will see our upcoming swim meets. Click on a swim meet, select “Meet Entry”
• If you are not logged in, it will ask you to log in (this is with the email you used at registration)
• Once you are logged in, it will have your swimmers there. Simply select if they will attend or not
• Once you have selected this, you will be prompted to signup for volunteer spots

From the SwimTopia App:

• If you are part of multiple SwimTopia accounts, make sure you are in Waterton :)
• From the Home Screen, you can select the upcoming swim meet at the bottom, then under attendance declare each of your swimmers individually
• You can then sign up for volunteer slots under “Meet Sign Up”

Reminder: you are required to do a certain number of shifts per season, but we all end up doing more because of the size of our team. Please be a good team player and step up to help when it is needed.

Fun Fridays:

New this year: we will only be hosting Fun Fridays on Friday mornings after HOME swim meets. This is to give our coaches and head volunteers time to prepare ribbons properly.

For our new families, Fun Fridays are a quick celebration on Friday mornings where the team comes to get their ribbons, get some breakfast snacks, and play with their friends.
