The highly anticipated City Swim Meet is set to make a splash this weekend at the state-of-the-art Deaconess Aquatic Center.
Taking place on Saturday, July 15, and Sunday, July 16, the City Swim Meet promises two action-packed days of exhilarating races. The preliminary races will kick off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, followed by the highly anticipated finals at the same time on Sunday.
This year’s City Swim Meet is expected to draw local swimmers, ranging from talented youngsters as young as four years old to seasoned veterans aged over 65. Spectators are encouraged to come out and show their support for their favorite swimmers and neighborhood teams.
Deputy Mayor/Interim Parks Director Steve Schaefer will be participating as a swimmer for the Helfrich Hurricanes.
“Competing for the Hurricanes as a kid was such a transformative experience for me,†said Schaefer. “It’s truly special to be back in the water, reliving those memories and representing the team once again. I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible event that brings our community together through the sport of swimming.â€
In order to accommodate the expected influx of attendees, additional parking will be available at the Bosse Field parking lot.
