November Swim Meet Change

Our Originally scheduled Meet for November was the CGBD Memorial Meet at Midtown Aquatics Center.  Unfortunately there were so many entries, they had to close the meet before the deadline and we will not be able to participate.  However, there were 4 teams that did not get into the meet and SEVA is currently working on arranging to have another meet on the same weekend at Fort Eustis. 

 

This replacement meet will have only one (1) session for all age groups. The meet will be Saturday and Sunday only.  Warm Ups will be at 9:00 AM and the meet will start at 10:00 AM.  The meet should be complete by approximately 2:00pm each day.

 

Please respond to this message as to whether you are interested in attending this meet.  Again, it is the same weekend but will be Saturday and Sunday only and have only one session for all age groups.  If you have any questions, please take to Coach Jones.

 

Thank you,

THE OBX Swim Club
