Sprint Sizzler Meet Details
Attached are the details for this weekend's Sprint Sizzler invitational meet on Sunday May 31 and Monday June 1 at the Cyfair Natatorium. This season, our team is responsible for filling 8 volunteer slots. Unfortunately, these do not count towards volunteer hours for Windrose Stingrays, so if we can all try to pitch in we can get it covered. All of the volunteer spots are at the Girls pool. Signup is open now in the Windrose Swimtopia for Sprint Sizzler. I've included the prior meet information below as well so its all in one place if needed. Good luck Stingrays!
