COVID NOTICE
We ask that all participants be fully vaccinated to the greatest degree eligible (including boosters) and be willing to present their vaccination card at the first practice attended. Better still, please email a photo of it to info@menlomavens.org.
FIRE SEASON NOTICE
Unfortunately, in recent years, August and September have brought an increasing number of poor air quality days due to fire season. Our team is subject to Menlo Swim and Sport pool facilities closures due to poor air quality or other reasons. In the event of a pool closure we will attempt to notify the team ourselves but you can get notified directly by signing up for Menlo Swim and Sport facilities closure notifications.
