Every Wednesday evening, all swimmers are given the opportunity to swim 3 stroke events plus an Individual Medley (IM) in an effort to improve their times and swim in the A meets held on Saturday mornings. If a swimmer has swum the event in the previous Saturday "A" meet, they cannot swim that event in the B meet. This practice is designed to give everyone a fair chance to qualify for the Saturday (A) meets. In case a swimmer is signed up for 4 stroke events instead of allowed 3 events he/she will be dropped from Fly event.

We look forward to our 1st "A" Meet of the season against River Falls (RF) at our HOME Pool. Please be at the Bethesda pool by 7:30am. See below for important details.

Who is swimming? Coach Malka will send out a lineup of who qualifies to swim this Saturday. Swimming at A meets is highly prized, so if you confirmed but later find that you (your swimmer) can’t attend, please notify Coach Malka ((240) 461-1768 or [email protected]) immediately so that we can give another swimmer the opportunity to swim at the meet.

Parking: Please use the parking lot adjacent to the pool. Overflow parking is located @ Little Falls Parkway and Arlington Road
