Breton Bay participates in the Southern Maryland Swim League (SMSL). Other teams in the SMSL include Cove Point, Elks, Swan Point, Town Creek, Triton Swimming, and Wildewood. The league offers a total of 9 home and away meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings plus 3 Saturday meets: the Coaches’ Age Group (designed for beginning to moderate level swimmers), the Relay Carnival (a small meet for approximately 50 swimmers from our team), and the end-of-season Invitational at St. Mary's College (for swimmers who have competed twice during the regular season in specific strokes without being DQ’d). The league changed the rules last year to have 8 & Unders (but not 6 & Under) be able to be DQ'd during the regular season. This is actually an improvement because in the past some swimmers didn't realize until the Invitational at the end of the season that they were using improper strokes.

Meet Start Times:
Home Meets: Warm-ups start at 4:30pm; meet starts at 6pm
Away Meets: Warm-ups start at 5:15pm; meet starts at 6pm.
Exception, Town Creek: Warm-ups start at 4:15pm; meet starts at 5pm.
Volunteers:
It takes 48 – 50 volunteers to run a home meet and 32 for us to participate in an away meet. Breton Bay therefore requires that each family with a child swimming in a meet have a parent or other-designated volunteer work for one half of the meet. This is the only fair way to ensure we have adequate staffing to run the meets. If you cannot meet this volunteer requirement due to family circumstances, please work with the volunteer coordinator (whose name will be posted in the volunteer book and will be posted on the web site), and he or she will help you find a substitute worker so your child can participate in the meet.
Parents must sign the meet book to register swimmers to participate in each meet. Swimmers will be entered for the meet only if a parent has signed for a volunteer slot to work for one half of the meet for which the parent is registering the child to swim. This applies to both home and away meets.
Cost for swim team:
First child: $55; each additional
child $45 (checks payable to BBRI).
Per family concession fee charge in lue of bringing
snacks: $20 (checks payable to Breton Bay Swim Team)
