McCarter Meet Information
Hey Shark Parents!
Below you will find the Meet information for our meet at McCarter. McCarter has a lot of swimmers who are zoned for Wade Hampton, so you all may know several people on their team.
Please remember if you sign up for a volunteer position, you are expected to work the job you signed up for. In the event that you are unable to fulfill your volunteer position, you need to contact Laura Fee, our Volunteer Coordinator, at 310-387-9065. As you all know, running a meet requires a lot of volunteers, please help wherever you can.
Please read through the information, and if you have any questions, please let me know I can be reached at 864-320-2070. Let’s remember to be the best visiting team!
Go Sharks!
