Would you like to perform the National Anthem at a home meet? We need you!
We are looking for performers for the National Anthem, if you would like to share your musical talents on a Wednesday night or Saturday morning swim meet. If you like to sing or can play an instrument, please email [email protected].
Please contribute Snack Bar Drink "Dues"
Traditionionally, we ask each Serpent family to donate $10 towards purchasing drinks for selling at the snack bar during home meets. You can Venmo the amazing Marjie Dewey (@Marjie-Dewey) who purchases the drinks to fill our stock. If you don't have Venmo, please donate $10 at the snack bar set up at Time Trials. Thanks Serpent families!
Thinking Ahead to Saturday: When we host meets, we park on the streets!
Starting this Saturday and continuing at subsequent home swim meets, please drop your swimmers off and park on Stonegate Drive or other surrounding streets. Let's leave our parking lot for our visitors. It's called being a good host, and it's something other teams do for us! Thank you in advance for your consideration.
