Hi! This year, the Lexington Lakers Swim Team is offering a chance to swim in a ‘big meet’ in Peoria to end our season! This meet is on Saturday, July 18, 2009 and is optional for all swimmers. One of the interesting aspects of this meet is that you swim your age and not your age group. For example, all 9 year olds swim and score against 9 year olds, not 9 and 10 year olds, etc. However 13-14 and 15&Up are still combined. Last year, there were 18 teams at this meet, including some teams we have previously competed against such as Greater Peoria YMCA, Morton, Washington, etc. You can view last year’s results and see how your swimmers times compare here: http://www.paww.org/pjstar08full.htm More information is on the Peoria website here: http://www.teamunify.com/EventShow.jsp?returnPage=%2FEventsCurrent.jsp&id=20422&team=ispaww
If you are interested in swimming in this meet, please let Tammy or Katie know by Tuesday, June 30. We have to send the entries and money in July 3. If you are interested, you are responsible for paying the entry fee of $15 for this meet. We would like to take as many swimmers as possible, but understand that costs, distance, ability, etc. might affect your decision. Here is some additional information:
