Waveriders Meet Recap - Waveriders meet results can be found here. Thank you to our swimmers and volunteers who stuck around through the delay. Great job Sea Dragons on another fantastic night of swimming!

End of Year Banquet - RSVPs for The End Of Season Banquet are open! Please RSVP for each family member who will be present at the banquet. Each RSVP will receive a band upon check-in. RSVPS are due Sunday evening by 5pm. Late RSVPs will be admitted but will be last for food and we can not guarantee food. We will be having a dessert this year rather than a full meal.

8U Relay Check‑In Reminder - Our 8U relays will line up immediately after warmups. Any swimmer assigned to an 8U relay must check in with a coach by warmups. If a swimmer has not checked in—and has not previously spoken with a coach about arriving late—there is a high likelihood they will be replaced on their relay. All 8U relay swimmers are expected to be on deck for warmups. If your swimmer does not check in and is not present for warmups, they will be replaced in the relays.

Quest - A thank you goes out to Quest for running our morning practices on Monday.

Year Round Swim - Looking to keep your skills fresh for next season? Quest, Poseidon, YMCA, SwimRVA are all local options that have swim lessons and clinics leading up to the 2027 Summer Season.

Magnolia Green CHAMPS Shirts - The 2026 Sea Dragon CHAMPS shirts are here! This year’s design celebrates America’s 250th birthday. Shirts ordered by the deadline will be distributed at the pool during practices. Orders are due July 14 at 10 AM for guaranteed delivery before CHAMPS.

CHAMPS Declarations - CHAMPS declarations are open! Time standards for qualifying for CHAMPS can be found here. Swimmers must swim in 2 regular season meets to qualify and achieve a qualifying time. If you are not able to select an event for your child to swim at CHAMPS, that means they have not yet qualified. Be sure to differentiate between the meters times and the yards time. Our pool is a yards pool but every other pool we swim at this season will be a meters pool with the exception of CHAMPS at the end of the season. CHAMPS declarations will close July 14th at 12pm. Declarations must be submitted by that date. There will be no exceptions.

Practice schedule for July 13th-July 17th can be found here. There will be no Monday evening practice due to the Summerlake meet, and no Tuesday morning or Tuesday evening practice due to the banquet. Beginning Wednesday morning, practices will be held only for swimmers who have qualified for CHAMPS and who are attending CHAMPS. 

Monday morning practice will follow the schedule it has all season and is open to all swimmers whether they have a morning or evening practice time slot. Monday morning will be our last regular season practice.
