Marlins,

Swimmer signups for the next home meet against Timberwood (7/16/18) is now open, so please click here to sign up ASAP!!!  Our apologies for the late opening, but it is due to a league mandated event numbering change.  There is no change to the actual events that the kids swim, just the numbering system used to identify the events.  For example: up until now, the first two events were listed as 1F and 1M to signify the same event for girls first then boys.  Some teams in the league use different meet automation software than we do, which wouldn't permit the letters after the numbers as event numbers.  Therefore the league passed a rule change updating the event numbering system to allow those teams to automate their meets.  

Going forward, the girls events will be the odd numbers and the boys events will be even numbered events.  One additional confusing twist, is that since some events are mixed events they will be odd numbered and the following event will be skipped!  So for example, there isn't going to be an event 10 anymore, we will go right from event 9 to event 11 since event 9 is a six and under mixed gender 100 free relay!

The revised numbering system is in place, so you should see it when you sign your kids up - and remember this is a QUICK turn around since we have to close signups at 5 PM on Thursday!!!  It is always just as important that you sign in and declare if you not be at the meet, as it is that your kids are attending and sign your kids up for events!

NOTE:  This also means that volunteers will change shifts at event 55 instead of 27 as we've done previously!
