Swimmers can compete in up to 4 events with a maximum of 2 individual events. Typically, they will compete in 2 relays and 2 individual events. However, swimmers can also compete in up to 3 relays and 1 individual event.
Divers compete a 6-dive list at duel meets. Each week, they will have a required diving category (this will be communicated by the diving coach). If a diver does not have a full list of 6 dives, they will compete as either a Junior Varsity (JV) or exhibition diver.
Athletes can compete in both swimming and diving. Diving would count as 1 individual event.

We will have a variety of volunteer spots open for each home meet. These will include timers, an announcer, and people to help set up and tear down the pool deck. A signup genius link will be sent out a few days prior to each home meet. We would like for every parent/guardian to volunteer for at least one home meet!
STUDENTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEER HOURS: You are welcome to volunteer at our home meets as timers (or other various positions) if there are spots open after the parents/guardians/families have had a chance to sign up. One duel meet will count for two hours of volunteer work.
