Hello Renegades,

Congratulations on our 1st swim meet win!  We understand the frustration with the delay to start the meet and slow progression which caused it to run very late.  Unfortunately, when we are the visiting team, this is out of our control.  The Saturday meet should not experience the same problems, and our home meets definitely should not have those problems.  Thanks for hanging in there!

Practice This Week:

Reminder there is regular practice at both pools M, T, W; No practice on the last day of school, Thursday; Morning practice on Friday.  Please see Practice Schedule - Sonoma Ranch Renegades (swimtopia.com) for the age group morning practice times.

Swim Meet:

Our next meet is Saturday, June 8th, at Mountain Lodge, 24108 Seven Winds (far northside of town off of Hwy. 281 north of 1604)

Arrival time is 7:30 a.m., warm-up is 8 a.m., the meet will start at 8:45 a.m.

Please let us know if your swimmer(s) will OR will not attend by visiting Sign-up Calendar - Sonoma Ranch Renegades (swimtopia.com) by Monday, June 3rd, 2 p.m.  Even if you swimmer is not attending, we need EVERYONE to let us know.  Please also let us know your swimmer's meet attendance for our two home meets on Tuesday's June 18th & 25th, and for the Championship meet on June 28th (EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP MEET).

Leaving the swim meet early, before your swimmer has completed their events also causes disorganization and confusion.  In the event your swimmer needs to leave early due to emergency, PLEASE let the coaches know.
