Question:
Does my new swimmer Mini Marlin swim have to swim at away meets?
A number of our younger non-independent 6&unders choose not to go to away meets. Most that do are either really eager to compete or are younger siblings of older swimmers. We absolutely welcome you to join us at away meets but also understand if you want to sit these out and catch us at the home meets. No worries either way, just declare your intention on the app/website.
We're so proud of our very large group of new swimmers this year!
