Division 13 NVSL Championship Meet is this Saturday! Lots of information below and attached. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

One quick important note first - It does happen that swimmers scratch the day of the meet and we have to go down the list of alternates. We will send a separate email to parents that have swimmers that are on the bubble. If you have siblings coming, please make sure they have their swimsuits, caps, and goggles. You never know!!
