Hey Sea Lion Parents!

Scottish Hills will host the 39th annual Cary City Swim Meet on July 16th, 2022. Since we have not hosted since 2018 and there are so many new families, we wanted to give you an overview of the meet! Please read through all the information even though it may seem like a lot.

GENERAL MEET INFO:

Cary City Meet (CCM) is an invitational meet that invites all the TSA South Division teams to compete against one another at a single location! We anticipate over 20 teams with upwards of 900 swimmers that will participate this year. This is a super FUN meet for the kids and is often the highlight of the season for our swimmers! This event is also a major revenue generator for our club, and we encourage everyone to register for the meet and pitch in to make it the best it can be!! Because this event is out of our traditional 6-meet schedule, there is a registration fee involved per swimmer, but it’s worth it!

TEAM THEME:

Each team gets to pick their own theme. This year our theme will be Toy Story.

Scottish Hills is known for its spirit at this meet, including costumes, team tent decorations, and plenty of dancing! The Tuesday Morning craft we do that week is CCM theme related and will be used to decorate and/or dress-up. We also will be having a movie night at the pool the weekend before and will show Toy Store 1. We also encourage families to come up with fun costumes for the meet as well!

MEET STRUCTURE INFO:

Due to how large this event is, it is split into two sessions, Morning and Afternoon.

Morning Session is for 10 and under swimmers: 8am start to an estimated 12pm finish.

Afternoon Session is for 11 and up swimmers: 2pm start to an estimated 7pm finish.
