Good Morning Team,

The Ramapo Championships was a fun time! Thank you for the cheering and volunteering! See you tonight for the Team Party at Toms Lake!

Attached is the new Lakeland A Times adjusted times and majority of our team has made the cut. I am having some technical issues producing a report.

For now, please go into SwimTopia, declare your swimmer’s availability for Saturday, and select the strokes they would like to swim.

Swimmers 14 and under may compete in two individual events if they have achieved the cut time.

If we have four available swimmers in an age group and gender, we will enter a medley relay. Relays are held at the end of the championship.

*You need to have competed in two Lakeland meets to be eligible.

**There is NO fee per race.

***The more swimmers that attend the better chance we have at placing higher in the meet
