The season is being moved to late winter/early spring.
What this will look like:

7/8th will be invited up to swim/dive on varsity if they meet the criteria to join the varsity team. Please reach out to Coach Katie McAlpin for more info. Varsity girls swim starts Aug 14th. The varsity program is in a different season. Girls are fall and boys are winter. More info on the varsity programs in the links below.
