Ribbon & Award Information
Ribbons and Awards
Ribbons and awards are filed in boxes according to the swimmer's last name, and boxes will be made available at the meets on Saturdays at the volunteer check-in table until 9:00 AM. It is a big job with many people involved and mistakes happen. If you are missing a ribbon or have any questions, please email the ribbon coordinator at [email protected].
