Milford Monsters: Swim meets are a great place to try out all the new things you are learning during practice and get to know your new teammates for more than the 15 seconds you talk to them during practice!
Just a quick reminder that it is a Short Course Meters meet (your age will be calculated as of 12/31/2018) so don’t forget to convert your times or ask a coach if you need help.
The Milford High School Girls’ Swim & Dive Team will be there timing for the later session but we could use volunteers for the early session 1500 for timers and counters. If you are not planning on swimming and could help please e-mail me to let me know.
We also supply snacks during the meet for all the swimmers. We always do an amazing job at this and we would like to continue the tradition. Some examples of things brought in the past are clementines, snack bars, water, rolled sandwiches, breakfast cookies, etc.
All proceeds from this event will be used to buy equipment to be shared between the teams. Last year we were able to purchase the zoomers, breaststroke fins, stretch cords and and more tempo trainers that we have been using all year long.
