Hi all! The 2026 Swimming Alumni Meet is back! We'll be at the Newark Memorial Pool on Saturday, March 21. Warm ups will start at around 9am for Alumni and the meet will start once warm ups are done. The event selection form will come a couple weeks before the meet.
We'll continue with two new traditions we started a few years ago:
-"Parent and me" relay: a 2x25 relay where a parent will have to swim with their child. Either the parent or child will have to be either an alum or current swimmer on the team. Bring out your kid or parent to continue this fun new tradition!
-Maestro division (as of 2023): You have to be 40+ to qualify on the Maestro Top 10 list. Get out there and get yourself a Top 10 time! We had some new records set last year.

All alumni are encouraged to come even if they don't plan on swimming.
We'll be keeping the races at all 50 yards again this year (except for 100 IM, even the 100 free is getting traded in for a 25 free) as well as have a few relays with 25 yard options. So really, everybody can swim a race even if you haven't touched chlorinated water in 2 decades.
We'll look to have a post-meet gathering again this year to celebrate our victory (victory can be defined in many different ways), so plan to stick around for a bit afterward.
