Who knows what will be true this year, but in the past -
Girls need 10 practices before the first swim meet (WIAA rules). YOU CANNOT GET IN THE WATER UNLESS YOUR PAPERWORK IS IN (see link in upper right corner for information on paperwork and don't forget to pay via schoolpay for your ASB card and supporting the swim & dive team).
If you can't get your child's physical in time, consider the Ingraham Teen Health Center https://ingrahamhs.seattleschools.org/services/teen_health_center. If you are having trouble uploading your physical form or any other glitches, please contact Maria Medina, Ingraham Athletic Secretary, mmedina@seattleschools.org or Athletic Director Traci Huffer thuffer@seattleschools.org.
Follow link for State times (we are 3A) - full list of times for Metros, Districts and State for 2019 available below. 2020 qualifying times are not yet available. This will be updated once available.
Swimmers will need to provide their own swim suit and goggles for practice. An Ingraham swim cap will be given to everyone on the swim team. Swimmers are expected to purchase a team suit and t-shirt. Scholarships available if needed.
