Hi FAST Makos!

Apologies for the late notice, but the B Meet is this Saturday, 7/18, and the registration deadline is TODAY. Coach Aiden needs everyone who plans to swim to be registered by the end of tonight's meet against Farmington. Here is the registration link: LAL B Meet - July 18, 2026.

We need only seven volunteers for the B Meet (six lane timers and one runner). You can sign up to volunteer here: LAL B Meet - July 18, 2026 Job Assignments.

Please see the additional information below that was provided by LAL, as well as the attachments to this email. Note that some of the information may say that the registration deadline is Tuesday - that is the deadline for Coach Aiden to provide his entries to the meet hosts. Our deadline is TODAY.

A Few Important Championship Meet Reminders

• We will NOT have use of the pavilion this year. Please remind your families to bring tents, chairs, and shade for Tent City.
• ALL swimmers in all age groups must report to the Clerk of Course before every individual event or they will be scratched.
• Clerk of Course does NOT line up relays. Coaches and teams are responsible for lining up all medley and freestyle relays behind the starting blocks.
• Late entries cannot be accepted. Meet programs must be printed prior to the championship meet, so please submit entries by the deadline.

**To help us stay organized, we ask that all replies be sent to all email addresses ([email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]) rather than replying to just one person. To be fully transparent, I have a family emergency that may require me to unexpectedly go out of town, so including everyone will help ensure we can respond quickly and keep everything moving without interruption. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.**

Thank you all for your help in making this a fun and successful championship meet. We appreciate everyone's support and look forward to seeing you on July 18!
