Time Trials – June 3, 2025

Time trials will be held at the Cambridge pool on June 3, 2025.  Check in is 4:45 pm, warm ups begin at 5:00 pm, team picture is at 5:45 pm, and meet start time is 6:00 pm.  This meet is only for Regency Riptides swimmers.  It gives swimmers and volunteers the opportunity to become familiar with the swim meet format.  It also allows us to check out the starter and timing systems before we host a meet with another team.  The pace of time trials is slower than an actual meet so that volunteers can learn and become familiar with roles.

Pizza, bottled water, and a treat will be provided for the swimmers.  Families will have the option to order additional pizzas.  More details will follow in a separate email.

Meet sign up will be open from Wednesday, May 28, 2025 at 12 pm until Sunday, June 1, 2025 at 5 pm by accessing the following link: https://regencyriptides.swimtopia.com/swim_meets.  No entries will be accepted after sign up closes.  During sign up, let us know if your swimmer(s) will be attending the meet or not attending the meet.  You also sign your swimmer(s) for what events they will participate in.  Instruction on swimmer signups for time trials can be found at: https://regencyriptides.swimtopia.com/sites/s3_files/94905.

You will also sign up for volunteer positions.  Details about volunteer positions are located at https://regencyriptides.swimtopia.com/resources
