The Breakfast of Champions is a celebration of the end of our regular season. It replaces swim practice and is for ALL swimmers (non-swimming siblings are included). RSVP is open now for families to sign up to bring an item to donate (it's like a potluck breakfast) Swimmers can go through the line and eat breakfast together and we have free time.

Thursday, July 25 - Special Practice at Hampton Aquaplex
9:00 am to 10:00 am - 11 to 18 age group
10:00 to 11:00 am - 10 and under age group
**this is a one time special practice at the Aquaplex (city meet venue) The Aquaplex is an indoor, competitive meet pool that is very different from the outdoor, recreation pools we have been swimming in. This special practice will give swimmers a chance to swim in the pool and dive off the starting blocks at the Aquaplex before the actual City Meet - hopefully will help calm some nerves take away some jitters.
