Swim Families,

I can't believe that summer swim practice starts this Tuesday! If you haven't already registered for the summer, please do so prior to the first practice.

REGISTRATION

If you have not registered, simply go to our site and click on the “Register Now” link on the right-hand side of the page. Also, be sure to enter your swimmers’ t-shirt sizes for the team shirt on the Merchandise page, including how the swimmer name should appear on the back of the shirt.

You can register through our website, which can be accessed by clicking the link below:

If you know of another family that would be a great addition to our team, please forward this email on to them. We always have room for new swimmers and would love to have additional families join our team.

PRACTICE

Practice begins this Tuesday, May 29. All practices will be held at the AJCC pool.

Our schedule will be as follows:

Morning Practices (Monday through Friday)

8:00 - 9:00 a.m. (Ages 10-Under at AJCC Pool)

9:00 - 10:30 a.m. (Ages 11-Up at AJCC Pool)

Afternoon Practices (Monday through Thursday)

3:30 – 4:30 p.m. (For swimmers attending MCDC only)

6:00 - 7:00 p.m. (Ages 10-Under at AJCC Pool)

7:00 - 8:00 p.m. (Ages 11-Up at AJCC Pool)

SWIMMERS will need: a swimsuit (not the team suit), towel, and goggles. Girls may want a swim cap for practice, as well.

Mandatory Parent Meeting

There will be a parent meeting this Wednesday, May 30 at 6:30 pm at the AJCC Pool. We will cover introductions, general questions, social events, meet schedule, team communication and volunteer opportunities. Also, we will be operating the Concession Stand at meets as a fundraiser for our team.

Team Suits

Our team suit will be the TYR Phoenix Splice, which is the same suit that we used last year. Team suits are available for purchase at Swim and Tri in Bearden.

Team Towels

Team towels (same design as last year) can be purchased on our website under the “Merchandise” tab at registration.

Caps

We have ordered silicone caps through Swim and Tri (same design as last year). Please note that we use silicone caps because Coach Joe is very allergic to latex. Cost for a single cap is $15.00.

Other Merchandise

We may have added the option for parents to purchase team t-shirts for $15.00 each. Please make those purchases under the “Merchandise” tab at Registration.

Again, thank you for being a part of the University Swim Club Smokin' Salmon family. We are looking forward to seeing you soon!
