It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN! I can't get the song out of my head now! If you are too young to get this song reference....please don't tell me. :-)

Can't believe our last regular season meet is on Monday!! Then - we are on to our post-season activities. We will provide basic information below about post-season and more information will come as it is confirmed by the league.

In the meantime, please don't forget -

The league updated the meet details in SwimTopia and, unfortunately, we lost some previously entered declarations. Even if you have completed this process before or do not plan on attending, please return to the page to confirm your declaration.

Surely I’ve exceeded my “minute” promise so I’ll leave you for now. But please keep an eye on your inboxes for more information about Monday’s meet and end of season activities.

Go Marlins,
