2024 Season Info
We are exited to kick off our 2024 season and looking forward to the return of the Rollingwood 21228 Invitational. Volunteer and Meet Donation signups will be linked in the meet table at the bottom of the Swim Team page. To keep our costs as low as possible and to run efficient swim meets, we ask that everyone sign up and help us fill all of our available volunteer assignments.
Meet Sign Out Sheet
Any swimmer unable to attend a meet is required to sign out no later than the Tuesday prior to the meet (coaches create the meet lineup on Wednesday and need to know who will be in attendance). If one or more of your swimmers are unable to attend, please sign the meet signout sheet below.

Division I Championship Meet (meet is Sat, Jul 27)
The Division 1 Divisional Championship meet will be swum Saturday July 27th at Forest Hills. The meet lineup is just like a regular dual meet but there will be top swimmers from each team in the division entered in the events. Rollingwood can send up to 3 swimmers per event and that will be determined that based on the top times within each age group. If you know you will be away on July 27th or know your child will not be able to swim, please SIGN OUT. If your swimmer is not in the top 3, top 5, top 10, or top 20, it doesn’t matter… please SIGN OUT. The meet entries for this meet are pulled together and submitted within about 24 hours and many times based on sign outs or swimmers swimming other events, we can go very deep into age groups. If we submit the entries and then you tell us you can’t attend but didn’t realize your swimmer would qualify, that takes a spot from another swimmer or could scratch a relay (this happens every year – I’m not kidding). I will post the entries for Divisionals the Saturday evening of the last meet and will send an email to let you know they are posted. The entries are due the next day at noon.
Warmups - Rollingwood warmups will be form 7:55am to 8:15am in lanes 4 through 6. The meet will start at 9:00am
Shirts - Divisional shirts can be ordered from the link below. Shirts can be ordered in white or gray options and will have all swimmers' names on the back (hoodies will not). Each team has their own link to order from off of the main page so that the shirts will be easier to distribute on meet day. THE STORE WILL CLOSE MONDAY 7/22 TO ALLOW FOR PRODUCTION TIME. A limited quantity will be available for purchase at the meet.
Parking - There are about 190 spots in the Forest Hill parking lot. Weather dependent, there will be parking on the grass behind the pool and tennis courts. If necessary, the Northfield Elementary and Dunloggin Middle School Parking lots can be used (located about a 5-7 minute walk from the pool - 9125 Northfield Road). Signs and/or volunteers will be stationed along the walking path, which follows a sidewalk along Northfield, then turns right onto Southfield road to a pedestrian bridge leading to the pool grounds.
Volunteers - Rollingwood volunteer assignments have been posted in the meet table.
Concessions - Concession will be available for breakfast (breakfast sandwiches, bagels, donuts, fruit, coffee) and lunch (burgers, dogs, taco in a bag, pulled pork, candy, snacks, etc.
End of Year Party - July 27 - Mark the Calendar
Our end of year party and awards ceremony will be held on the evening of July 27th at Rollingwood (in the pavilion). The party will start at 6:00pm with awards, coach's remarks, and our end of year video starting at roughly 7:15pm. In order to get a head count for dinner, we ask that families fill out the signup below if planning to attend. We are also asking families to help by bringing a salad, appetizer, or desert to share.
Swim Caps
Latex swim caps are provided to each swimmer at the beginning of the season. Each swimmer will receive one cap (if desired). For those interested in Rollingwood Seals silicone caps, they will be available for purchase at the meets from Bill Protzman. Silicone caps are $12.
