1. Friday FUNnight! Friday, June 20 at 6:45pm. Tie Dye Night!!!

***We NEED volunteers for this to sign up! If we do not have anyone volunteering to help with the tie dye before 8am on Friday, we cannot do the tie dye and grill out***

A fun night of team activities returns! We invite you and your family to join us after practices for dinner at the pool. Please sign up on the website under the Friday FUNight event for what you are bringing; drinks, dinner, dessert-its all there and needed for our hungry swimmers and families! It is our tie dye night and instructions are as follows:

Please bring one white t-shirt* (per swimmer) AND a gallon sized zip lock bag. Shirts need to be labeled with your swimmers first name/last initial.

Before tie dying (or after once the shirt is washed and dried), your swimmer is invited to decorate their shirt further using a permanent marker/Sharpie.

The activity will take place in the grassy area outside the pool entrance.

Drop off your shirts starting at 4:15.

*A limited number of white shirts will be for sale for $5. (Correct change ONLY)

Directions for care after shirts come out of the tie dye:

• Place t-shirt into a ziploc bag.
• Keep in bag for the next 24 hours.
• Remove from bag and rinse under cold water until the water comes out clear OR
• Put in washing machine (not with your whites!!!) and wash on cold.
• Dry and wear to the meet on Wednesday!
