FRIENDLY REMINDER

Franklin Fish is a recreational swim team, and our meets are made possible entirely by amazing parent volunteers. Please direct any questions or concerns to Gill or Lissa — and kindly avoid approaching timers or stroke judges during the meet.

Most importantly: cheer loud, support all swimmers, and have FUN! 💙🐟

Good Sportsmanship:

Swimmers should stay in the water until all swimmers in their heat have touched the wall.  We also encourage swimmers to tell the swimmers next to them, "good race" and shake hands after the race is over.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

GO FRANKLIN FISH! 🐟
