What's New?


October 9, 2008

Team Suit-Up Day: 

  • October 15, 2008 at East Hartford Middle School from 4:30-6:45 pm.
  • In order to make the suit fitting night as pleasant as it possibly can be only METRO will only take checks (preferred) or cash?  No credit/debit cards.  If they can come prepared with the check made out to Metro Swim Shop with your phone number on it things would go along more smoothly.
  • Another idea is to have the swimmers in dry swim suits so that they can try the new suits on.

Wilton Thanksgiving Invitational is  posted at both pools: 

  • The Wilton Y Thanksgiving Invitational has been posted at both pools.  The deadline date is Thursday, October 16th.  This means that the entry will only be up for one week.  Please make sure you get into the pool, look at the board, and sign up.  Remember, no email responses will be accepted for this meet.

The OAK meet on December 7th has been moved to December 6th.  This conflicts with our dual meet against Valley Shore.
 
The 9 and over swimmers will not be swimming the OAK meet and it will not be replaced with anything else.  There are two separate meets that we are attending the following weekend so a day off before the long weekend to follow will be good for all!
