SWIM TEAM INFORMATION FOR VOLUNTEERS

& SWIM TEAM FORMS FOR 2008

Dear Parents,

            Registration from Swim Team is rapidly approaching.  Swim Team Registration begins Monday, May 26^th, 2008.  In addition to the normal business hours, you may send in registration forms and checks by mail, or you may drop them off at the office at any time.  It may also be delivered in the mail slot (by the front door) during non-business hours.

            Swim Team is a service to Club members intended to provide stroke instruction and promote interest in competitive swimming in a relaxed atmosphere.  All children of ages 16 or younger are welcome to join.  However, children must be comfortable in the large pool area in order to join the team.  The ability to swim the length of the pool is required.  During the first week of practice there will be time available when children may test their abilities in a supervised environment.

            Registration fees are intended to defer some of the costs of running the team, and are configured to encourage family involvement.  The fee for a single child is $49.00.  The fee for the second child in a family is $38.00, and each additional child is $28.00.  In addition to these costs, team shirts, and swim caps will be available. The first practice will be held on Monday, June 16^th.  The practice schedule will be as follows:

Morning Practice:

Ages 13 & Up              8:00-8:50

11-12                                                     9:00-9:50

9-10                                                         10:00-10:50

7-8                                                             11:00-11:45

6 & Under                    11:45-12:15

Evening Practice:

8 & Under                    4:30-5:00

9 & Up                        5:00-6:00

            Please note that evening practices are intended for children with schedule conflicts, such as those in summer school in the mornings.  Evening practices are always very crowded because only half the pool can be used, so please attempt to attend morning practices when possible.

            We are looking forward to another exciting and enjoyable season and would love to hear from you if you have any comments or suggestions.  Please feel free to contact the iffice:

Our team colors are red, white and black. Girls need a red, one-piece, racing style swim suit that should be worn to all practices and meets. We suggest TYR and Speedo as a good one-piece suit. 

We suggest the boys wear black jammers made by TYR or Speedo.
