June 24-June 30 Bannockburn Weekly Updates

Another victory for Bannockburn, this weekend, against Seven Locks (424-368)! Great swims by Ethan Duncan (scored some pool and team records in the 25 free and 25 back), Saxon Randsmith (pool record for 50 breast) and Dallas Duncan, Charlie Stenberg, Nathan Badmus and Ethan Duncan (new team/pool record for the 14&U 175 freestyle relay).

Monday, June 24th @ 5pm – DEADLINE - Signup for Wednesday nights B-Meet @ Palisades. Entries close at 5pm sharp. If you’d like your swimmer to attend, please sign up 2024 Schedule - Bannockburn Dolphins (swimtopia.com).

**SWIMMER ELIGIBILTY**: Swimmers are restricted to three events + Individual Medley (and must be legal). However, if your swimmer placed 3rd during Saturday’s A-Meet, they may NOT swim that same event on Wednesday. Palisades will NOT allow on-deck entries or changes – so sign up today.

Wednesday, June 26th @ 5pm – B-Meet @ Palisades (6918 Seven Locks Rd, Cabin John, MD 20818)! Warmups start at 5:25pm. TWO VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED one as verifier (sounds hard, but really it’s just double checking swimmers times while sitting near the computer station) and one timer. Sign up HERE. I’m a little in disbelief as I send the Palisades Pool food options for Wednesday night Deli, The Market on the Boulevard Cabin John, MD Palisades Pool. (Kevin, are we still on their pool waitlist?)
