Arcadia Riptides Swim Club Upcoming Meets

 

The entire Long Course (50 Meters) swim meets dates are below so you can plan accordingly.  The Long Course season has a special meaning in this Olympic year.  We all can marvel and appreciate how fast the Olympic swimmers are, and cheer for them.

 

June Downey Swim Meet:

The June swim meet will also be in Downey, on June 9^th & 10^th.  Our team-wide sign-ups will be on Wednesday, May 23rd.

 

If you cannot make it for our team sign up, you can always just mail in a white card for each swimmer, which is due by March 7th.  Remember to enter your best times.  If you have not swum an event before, just place “N.T” (for No Time), or leave it blank.

 

Tip: With your White Card, you can mail in a self-addressed, stamped post-card.  This will be mailed back to you to confirm your entry was received. 

 

June Invitational (Age Group Championship) Swim Meet:

If you have a June Invite time, you qualify to enter this swim meet.  This is a higher-caliber swim meet.  This will be at La Mirada from June 21^st – 24^th.  Our team-wide sign-ups will be on Wednesday, June 6th.

 

July La Mirada Swim Meet:

This La Mirada meet is on July 14^th-15th.  If you have not been at the La Mirada Splash pool, make a point of making this meet.  As mentioned in the April swim meet section, this pool is so nice for so many reasons.  The weather should be very pleasant, and tending toward the hot side, so swimming is definitely the thing to do.

Our team-wide sign-ups will be on Wednesday, June 27th.

 

Long Course (Summer) Junior Olympics (JOs):

If you have a Summer JO time, you qualify for this swim meet.  For the last few years, our team has been attending the JO at Cal Lutherern University.  (There are 3 JOs in the summer running at the same time in Southern California Swimming).  We’ll keep you posted where we are going this summer; we should know by the end of April.

 

The JOs will go from July 25^th thru the 29^th.

 

Long Course Metro Championship Swim Meet:

The Metro Championship Meet marks the end of the Long Course season and will be on August 4^th-5^th weekend in Downey.

 

This Metro Championship meet is a great opportunity to win medals and have fun as a team.  First, each division (White, Red and Blue) gets to win medals for the top 3 finishers.  This is a great opportunity to both better your times and try to get a medal at the same time.  Also, this meet mixes both the younger and older age groups from morning to late afternoon, so our team gets to see and cheer for all our swimmers together.

 

 

Note: Our team usually takes a 2 week break at the end of August.  There is no practice or swim meets, and we resume the beginning of September.
