Meet Information

Our last dual meet is this Saturday 7/9 vs. Stonegate.  Please have your swimmer on deck by 7:00 AM.  Warm Ups begin at 7:15.    For Map and Meet details click here.

Almost all families have signed up for their required 14 hours.  Thank you so much for all the time you have already donated.  We are asking for more.  The original 14 hours was an estimate based on last year’s enrollment of 160 swimmers.  This year we only have 107.  We are down over 30%, which is leaving us very short on volunteers for our upcoming Prelim week and Finals.  We are asking for teen volunteers as well.  Teen volunteers can earn volunteer credit which, as we all know, looks great on college applications!

The 8 & Under Prelim is our largest commitment.  We are expecting a crowd of about 2000 swimmers and families.  There will be approximately 70 coaches from the entire league attending this event.  We will be running concessions all day as well running the entire event.  If you have any time available on Monday, please consider signing up even if you do not have an 8 & Under swimming.   Please remember this is a team sponsored event, not just run by 8 & Under parents. We will have teens assisting with your 8 & Under children to free up parents to volunteer.

I have created a new SignUpGenius site for each event coming up.  ALL VOLUNTEERS FROM THE PREVIOUS SIGN UP GENIUS SITE HAVE BEEN MIGRATED TO NEW INDIVIDUAL SITES.  PLEASE SEE THE LINKS BELOW AND VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF YOUR TIME SLOTS.  All Sign Ups are password protected.  The password is ‘Ungowa’ for all sign up forms.

Being a Parent Rep is a great opportunity to get more involved in the team.  We would ask that you spend one season being mentored, then during the second season take on a leadership role.  To learn more about this, feel free to contact me or go to our website at http://www.benfranklinswimteam.com/ParentRep.aspx
