Friday and Saturday Warm-ups:  7:35 – 8:00 a.m.   Sunday warm-ups:  8:25 – 8:50 a.m.

Please DO NOT PARK in the fire lanes around the football stadium, or you WILL BE TOWED. 

Since school is in session Friday and a basketball game that evening, parking will be at a premium.  Worthington is asking that all swim families: carpool when possible, park in the roped-off SW corner of the lot first, and park head-in on the grass along the driveway west of the natatorium in order to leave plenty of room for bus traffic.

Saturday and Sunday prelims are going to be very large and long sessions.  Please have your swimmers keep the team room as clean as possible and it would be helpful if they could limit themselves to one bag.

Every Dynamo High School swimmer has qualified to compete at Districts for their High School Team.  They are:   Jessica Carpenter (Bishop Hartley), Dustin Chan (Westerville South), Dmitry Dolgov (Olentangy Liberty), Caitlyn Harty (Dublin Scioto), Elizabeth Harty (Dublin Scioto), Shannon Mudd (Westerville Central), Nora Steele (Bexley), Keiko Wilkins (CSG).
