RSVP for meets on SWIMTOPIA/ONCC BARRACUDAS Website:
Next to each meet on THIS PAGE please go to the green "Meet Entry" button and commit your swimmer as "attending" or "not attending" for each swim meet. You can also sign up for volunteer shifts on this same page, remember each family is required to fulfill 2 volunteer shifts during the season.
VOLUNTEER SIGN UP AND TRAINING:
Check out volunteer opportunities here. A few roles require a quick online training, but they’re a great way to learn more about the sport. Don't be shy! Please jump in and fill these roles if you can and let us know if you have questions about a particular job.

You can complete the stroke and turn, starter, and referee training here. You can complete timer and scorekeeper training here. Remember, completing the training is required annually, even for returning volunteers.
SWIMSUITS:
Thank you for your patience with the suits. We’re sorry for any sizing issues you may have experienced. If you’re looking to swap or sell within the team, please refer to the google sheet previously shared.
Helpful tips from Agon reps: wearing the suit in the bathtub can help it stretch slightly, and suits should never be put in the dryer.

If you plan to order a suit, you need to order ASAP because they take several weeks to come in. You might need to opt in for the "rush" service to receive it by the first meet. Based on sizing feedback, consider sizing up one size. Order here.
ONCC HAT ORDERS:
If you pre-ordered a hat for the Nashville Dolphins fundraiser, Lauren has them, and we’ll distribute them during the first week of practice. We also have a limited supply of white and green hats still available for purchase for $25. All proceeds go towards our fundraiser for the Nashville Dolphins Special Needs Swim Team.
