Thanks to those that came out to support the swimmers at St. X last night! That is a LOUD and crowded place and it was great to see so much RED in the stands! 

We have several volunteer opportunities coming up. If you have not already helped at a meet this season, please consider contributing your time. We have several people that have helped at EVERY hosted meet so far--thank you!! Sign ups can be found on dupontmanual.swimtopia.com. 

--We still need timers for the JCPS Sprint Meet THIS SATURDAY! This was not originally a Manual hosted meet, but Coach JC Barnett stepped up to host after the original meet was cancelled. Let's show JC our appreciation for all that he does for high school swimming! 

--Timers are also still needed for our last hosted meet of the season next Wednesday, January 29th at Central. 

--Pasta Parties:  More information will be coming soon regarding our Regional meet. We are Region 4 and our Regional Prelims and Finals will be held on Saturday, February 8th. As part of our celebration of our Regional and State qualifying swimmers our ENTIRE TEAM is invited to Pasta Parties the week of Regionals AND the week of State Champs. The parties have traditionally been held at a team member's home--cheapest option and the kids can spread out and enjoy a meal plus make posters to hang at the meets. We are in need of a willing family to host a pasta party this season! If you are willing to allow the hospitality team to host (attendance may range from 30-50 people) one of our pasta parties in your home (or have access to an inexpensive space we can use), please reply to me asap! The dates for the parties are currently February 8th and February 18th. 

One last reminder:  If you have questions regarding your athletes meet entries, please contact the coaches directly. Contact info can be found on swimtopia. You may also use the Remind message system to send messages to the coaches. All emails coming from this site are managed by swim parent volunteers. 

Thanks to all for your help!
