Hi Team, Coach Steve has the meet entries ready for Aquaknights (Saturday, June 7th). Because he has the entries ready before they are technically due, he asked me to send them out to the team. Please review the meet entries to make sure your swimmer is entered correctly. All swimmers are limited to 3 individual events and some swimmers are on up to 2 relays as well. If your swimmer only knows how to swim freestyle and backstroke, then they will be limited to 2 individual events. If you forgot...
