  • June 3rd, Thursday - Time Trials, 5:00 PM

    The Tornados hold a pre-season meet to prepare the team for the upcoming season. The Time Trials are scheduled during the week preceding the first swim meet. This mock competition allows the team to experience a simulated meet, which allows the team to practice under competitive conditions, teaching the members what is expected of them during a swim meet. Equally important, it gives the Tornados volunteers a chance to meet the other parents and to learn their roles at the meet, i.e., announcers, recorders, timers, scorer, concession workers, etc.
