Sign up for winter meets; see new dates for championship meets
|
It doesn't affect the signing up process, but we had some dates wrong for championship meets on our original meet schedule and sign-up form. You'll find our updated schedule
here and updated form
here.
Double check the schedule for eligibility before you sign up. Also, please note that the McGaw YMCA/YWCA dual meet has a fee, which goes to support
Evanston Swims!. That fee is due when you turn in your form.
For Thunderfish swimming in the Midwest Open in January, forms are due
Friday, November 22. All other sign-up forms are due by
Saturday, December 7. You can put forms in Pete's folder or send him an
email.

Congratulations and good luck to high school girls

Congratulations to our high school girls on their stellar swims at the Sectional meet last weekend. And good luck to our Flying Fish girls who qualified for the IHSA State meet this weekend: Lily Consiglio, Erin Long and Natalie Long.
A special shout-out to Erin Long, who broke a 35-year-old ETHS record in the 100 free at Sectionals. You can read about this and other record-breaking swims that included Flying Fish
here.
