    PLEASE READ: Briarwood Swimmers 11 & Up ~ GRPA District & State Meets

    June 7th

    Good evening!  

    So great to see so many swimmers at tonight's meet against Murphey Candler!  What a fantastic evening!  Email to follow with information on final results.

    Just a quick follow up, we would love to have more athletes in our 11 & up age group swim for Briarwood at the upcoming GRPA District and/or State Meets.  If you will be in town and your child is able to swim, please consider signing them up.  See below for details.  We have been able to get an extension to see if we can add more swimmers to the roster in the older age groups.  See my original email below with all the details.  If you have already responded that your child is participating, you can disregard this email.

    Here is some important information on the upcoming GRPA District Meet that will take place on Saturday, June 18th at Briarwood Pool as well as the State Championship Meet that will take place July 22-23 at Cherokee Aquatic Center. Please take a moment to read and respond. This only applies to swimmers 7 and older. If your child is 6 or younger you can disregard this email.
