Harpers Mill Manta Rays

Champs is the Chesterfield Aquatic League's championship meet. Teams from all across Chesterfield send their fastest swimmers to compete in the two-day meet. If a swimmer meets or beats the qualifying time in at least one race during the regular season, they are qualified. Race times can be found in our meet results. If you're not sure, just go ahead and try to declare--the system will let you know if your child is eligible.

If your child will be attending Champs, you must declare by July 16th!

If your swimmer has qualified for Champs, please declare here. Ages 10 and under should declare for the July 22 event, and ages 11 and up should declare for the July 23 event.

We will be hosting a pasta dinner at the clubhouse for our Champs swimmers on July 21st. RSVP here.

Families with swimmers attending Champs must send a parent to volunteer at the meet. 

Swimmers should be on deck at least a half hour before their warm-up time. They should have their events, heats, and lanes written on their arm like they do for our swim meets. Please also write your swimmer's last name and first initial on their shoulder blade so they can be quickly identified. Pack your child a water and healthy snacks to keep in their bag down at the pool deck with them. They should have their towel, swim cap, and goggles with them as well.

The SwimRVA facility, which is indoor, does not have a lot of space for spectating, but the event will be livestreamed here for anyone who wants to watch from home. Swimmers will be at the lower pool deck level, and parents will watch the meet from above in the stands. 

Parents are not allowed on the deck. Monitors will be stationed at the doors to enforce this. You will drop off your swimmer on the bottom level by the doors, but then you will have to leave. We will have volunteers from our team on the pool deck. Usually, those adults give out their cell numbers so you can be in contact with them.
