Kickoff Intrasquad – It has been great to see our swimmers back in the water and hard at work on another season and we are excited to see them race at our Kickoff Intrasquad (October 2 @ NC / 5:30pm warmup; 6:15pm start). All active swimmers in Bronze, Silver, Gold and Senior will be pre-entered in this event on Monday, September 22. If your swimmers cannot compete, please opt them out by Tuesday, September 30. We will also need a few volunteers to help us run the intrasquad. A job signup will be added to the event page on the WTSC homepage next week. Please speak with your group coach if you have questions about the intrasquad and stay tuned for more information.
RIVI Fall Invitational – We will follow the intrasquad with our traditional first invitational of the season, the RIVI Fall Invitational (October 18-19 @ IU Natatorium). This meet is appropriate and encouraged for all Bronze, Silver, Gold and Senior swimmers and yes/no signups are now available on the meet page on our website. Please speak with your group coach if you have questions and additional information will be available as it is provided by the host club.

For now, save the date and plan to join us for a bonfire, hayrides and great fun.
