Mini Meet is Here!
May 15, 2024
Hey Cats!!
Mini Meet is here! We are so excited to see all the littles practice their skills in their very own Mini-Meet. It will run exactly like a real meet, but only ages 10 and under will participate. Let’s ace this practice run and be ready for the real thing next weekend! Parents, please have the swimtopia app downloaded with notifications enabled. We are using the app for all time sensitive communications.

6. COACHES OFFER BABYSITTING & PRIVATE LESSONS
Some of our coaches provide private lessons and babysitting. You can find that info here. Please protect these teens’ private info by first asking their permission before sharing their phone numbers with non-Nauticat families. Parents can reach out to Kathy with any questions or suggestions. Also, private swim lessons require a pool tag from the Nassau Bay Homeowners Association to use the pool for lessons.
Let me know if you have any questions!
See you at the pool,
Kristi & Julie
