Sign Up Deadline: Thursday, December 3rd!  If you miss the deadline, we may still be able to get you in the meet but it is not a guarantee.  So go head over to the PCST website now to sign up for this great one-day meet!

How Long Will It Take?  13 & Older swimmers will race in the morning and will be done by lunchtime.  12 & younger swimmers will start around lunchtime and will be done by mid afternoon.

Why Did We Create This Meet?  We wanted to provide PCST and other local swimmers an opprotunity to swim in an officially sanctioned swim meet here in town during the winter.  We understand that it gets tough to travel this time of the year, so we want all PCST swimmers to take advantage of having the meet right here in your backyard!  We made the meet "IMX and IMR" events because we want to encourage our Tsunamis to branch out, try new events in a familiar environment and become more well-rounded swimmers.  The sport of swimming is far more exciting and fun when you gain confidence in your ability to do multiple events and strokes well. :)

CATCH THE WAVE!
