Hey everyone! I know we still have some families traveling as they wrap up summer vacations and get ready for school (myself included), but I wanted to go ahead and touch base and give some updates from ASA.

First of all, teams in our league for the season. Returning from 2025 are Briarmoor Manor, Byrnwyck/Hampton Hall, Decatur, Gainsborough, Garden Hills, Twin Lakes, and Woodfield. We are also welcoming 3 new teams - Harmony on the Lakes, Leslie Beach club, and Polo. Garden Hills is a large team and like last year will only participate in the meet they host.

Secondly, we have a draft schedule published on the website. Meet 1 will be at Decatur, Meet 2 and Byrnwyck/Hampton Hall, Meet 3 will be at Home (half the league), and Meet 4 is Championships at Marist.

I have all meets scheduled to begin declaring availability next week (July 29th). In early August we will add in the volunteer needs, which are usually minimal, but we may need a few extra hands for our home meet. If you know you’ll miss a meet, going ahead and marking that helps us save time as the meets approach. If you are less familiar with swimtopia, we do have a few screen capture videos posted on the website from summer and we are happy to do some more if you find them helpful. https://woodfieldwaves.swimtopia.com/helpful-videos 

Lastly, a reminder, we will switch from morning practices to afternoon on July 31st as this is Open House/Sneak peek/Meet & Greet for most of the schools.
