PEP RALLY? Pep rallies will be every Tuesday (in the midst of practices) featuring poster making, other craft activities and cheers. The pep rally theme matches the theme for the meet. These pep rallies are a great way for new swimmers to make friends and chat with coaches.

WHO SWIMS THE FIRST A-MEET?

Getting a top time at Time Trials does NOT guarantee your child swims the first A-meet. Coach Elizabeth determines the team line-up by looking at many factors. For more information click HERE.

WHAT TO WEAR TO A MEET AND PRACTICE?

Merrimack swimsuit or non-logo suit (like these or these), goggles, and Merrimack or non-logo cap. MCSL MEET RULES: Swimmer will be disqualified for wearing swimsuits or caps with club/high school logos. Women/girls may not wear tie-back suits. No tech suits allowed for 12U swimmers in any meet. Swimmers must have hair tied back properly and coaches prefer swimmers wear a cap if they have long hair. Bring goggles that fit and have an extra pair in your bag. Arrive on time to all practices.
