City Meet Information
We have received preliminary information about City Meet. Please be sure to read all of the following information.
The "session" format takes away from the "team" feel of City Meet. We encourage everyone to stay for the whole meet if possible. All Windy Point supporters are invited to cheer on our team. Our swimemrs have worked hard to qualify for this meet, let's show our support!

- Session 1 (8 & under)
- Session 2 (9 – 12)
- Session 3 (Relays)

- The specific timeline for the meet will be posted once the meet has been seeded next week. However, for general planning purposes— warm-ups for Session 1 start at 7:30 AM, warm-ups for Session 2 will likely start around mid/late morning, and warm-ups for Sessions 3 and 4 will likely start around lunch/early afternoon.
