RTB Swim Meet - May 17th
RTB Blue vs. Green Dual Meet & Potluck – Join the Fun!
RTB has been crushing it in the pool, so let’s put that speed to the test with a little friendly swim competition!
Join us for the RTB Blue vs. Green Dual Meet & Potluck Social—a fun morning of racing, camaraderie, and, of course, snacks!
EVENT DETAILS
📅 Date: Saturday, May 17th
⏰ Time: 6:30–8:30 AM
📍 Location: Kent Swim & Tennis Club
💲 Cost: $15
📌 Registration Deadline: May 10th
TEAMS
In traditional dual meet fashion, we’ll have 2 teams—Blue vs. Green—with Chris and Jake leading as your team captains. Teams will be divided as evenly as possible based on your fastest 100 free time. (And yes, there may or may not be prizes for team spirit!)
MEET FORMAT
We’ve got five events lined up:
🏊 50 Free Relay
🏊 300 Free
🏊 200 Free
🏊 100 Free
🏊 Captain’s Choice Relay (Expect the unexpected!)
Each individual event will have multiple heats, with 3 swimmers from each team per heat. We’ll take 5-minute breaks between events for warm-ups, cool-downs, snacks, and socializing. Once teams are finalized, you’ll receive a ‘Heat Sheet’ with your heat and lane assignments so you know who you’re up against. 😉
SCORING
💥 Every swimmer contributes! Points will be awarded based on finishing position within your heat (1st place = 6 points, 6th place = 1 point). This means everyone has a chance to score, no matter your speed!
🚀 Relays will be a head-to-head showdown! The winning team will score 6 points, and second place will earn 3 points.
POTLUCK
Because everything’s better with food! Feel free to bring your favorite drink or snack to enjoy throughout the event. April weather can be unpredictable, so don’t forget your warm clothes, blankets, extra towels, etc. If you'd rather stay in the water, the diving well will be open for hanging out!
