Sign ups for the Woodley mini meet are open!

The Woodley Invitational Mini-Meet will be Sunday, July 19 at Woodley Pool (7421 Camp Alger Ave, Falls Church). This is a fun event for swimmers ranging from Mini-Sharks through 10-year-olds.

The meet starts at 9:00 a.m. and typically goes until 1 or 2 p.m., our morning warm-up start time is 8:30 a.m.

There are a few unique aspects of this meet, so see below for details!

Age Restrictions & Special Notes

Only kids 10 and under are eligible to participate. Unlike the NVSL, kids will swim based on their age on July 19. So if your son/daughter is 9 on July 19 they will swim as a 9-year-old, if they are 11 on July 19 they will not be eligible.

Additionally, if your swimmer currently swims as an "8 & Under" but turns 9 before July 19, they will swim 50M for freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. They may continue to swim 25 M butterfly.

Special Kickboard Events

For Mini-Sharks who cannot make it across the pool, there is a special kickboard freestyle event where junior coaches can be in the water with the Mini-Shark to provide personal reassurance and motivation. Swimmers participating in the kickboard freestyle event cannot participate in other events.

Event Signups

Each child may swim up to 3 events. Cost per event is $5 per swimmer. You can pay via Square and payment must be submitted by July 11. There will be no fee added.
