The weather was perfect for this opportunity to propel top swimmers to the county meet, slated for Aug. 5 and 6, which will be held once again at Acalanes. Between competitions, participants and their families enjoyed refreshments from Kona Ice truck, Dippin Dots and Bay Area Munchiez. According to the Lafayette Swim Conference Championship Meet Director Aly Macalister, the Championship Meet took 10 months of preparation and involved 200 parent volunteers who helped make things run smoothly for the nearly 500 competing swimmers. Lafayette Swim Conference is a nonprofit organization. Its purpose is to establish, organize and hold meets for summer recreational competitive swimming within its membership to enhance community spirit, camaraderie and friendly competition.
