The Aquatic Meet is a fun time for everyone.  It is a chance for many different troops to meet, interact and compete, as well an opportunity for each troop to work on their teamwork, learn more about each other and to challenge themselves to do their best.  So, join in the fun and bring your Troop swimmers and nonswimmers.  There is an event for everyone.  Please plan to arrive by 9:30 A.M.  An open swim period will start at 9:45.  The meet will begin at 10:00 A.M. and finish at 1:30 P.M.  There are awards for the first, second and third place Troops in each event and participation patches for everyone!

 Scouts should not bring anything of value to the meet with them (lockers are not available).  A bottle of water might be a good idea.  We suggest that the adults leave their valuables with other adults in the spectator area.

Please remember that all participants and leaders must either be barefoot or wearing pool shoes on the pool level.
