Marlin Announcements

Marlins Team Picnic
The Marlins will be having their annual fall get-together on Sunday, Sept. 19th. We will be meeting at Cerise Park at 3pm. Please bring your own drinks and an appetizer to share with everyone.

We will have time to socialize, and then have a short business meeting. After the meeting the swimmers will go with their respective coaches and the coaches will have time to talk about each swimmer. The coaches will be respectful of the fact that many of you have swimmers in separate groups and try not to talk about your child until you are there.

There is no playground equipment at Cerise, but there are big grassy fields, so please feel free to bring balls, frisbees, etc.

Kathy will have the team pictures at the picnic - so please pick them up from her then.

Meet Schedule Posted
The Majority of the Fall/Winter Meet Schedule is posted below. The meet information for Aspen and Durango is available also.

As a competitive swim team we are going to highly encourage all swimmers to participate in WSL Champs in February. Additionally, if you swimmer qualifies for Silver State or State JO’s in a number of events, we will ask that you make a commitment to attend these meets as well. This commitment should match the work put in by your swimmer and the coaching staff. Please make this a priority in your winter scheduling.
