8 & Under Pasta Dinner and Prelims Information

Hello Families!

We're so proud of our young swimmers and excited to see them participating in Prelims this year!

We will be hosting a Pasta Dinner on Monday, July 6th at 6pm at the Mineral Pool (there will be no swimming) to fuel them up and have them spend some time with coaches to get prepared and pumped up for the following day.

Pasta Dinner will be $12/person and you are welcome to order for just your swimmer or the entire family!
