Coaches Corner: (NEW)
- A note from Coach Anibal:
- Hello Skyline families,
- First, I want to thank the parents, board and volunteers for all the work you do putting together the meets, getting best time ribbons and keeping us organized.
- For this weeks dual meet, we will try a different way to organize ourselves. Last time we had some kids miss some races and we will like to avoid that. No Skyline swimmers in the volleyball court or basketball court or playground.
- Sit closer to the staging area and not to the smaller pools with the water features. If you can try to sit with the other kids in your age group.
- The 13 & older will sit by the shaded area closest to the shed and staging area.
- The 11/12's will sit right next to the 13 & older
- Finally the 10 & unders will sit the closest to the small kids pool so that their parents can be close by.
- Swimmers, continue working hard and racing like you are hungry! I love to see it.

If you need another form, you can take one from this folder too. Ashley will also have extra forms available that day as well.
Individual photos take place during morning practices. Please arrive prior to your swim time practice (about 15 min or so) to get your pictures taken and not miss practice and bring your completed form.
