Swim Families,

It is hard to believe that our season will be starting in exactly one month from today!

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE SUMMER SWIM SEASON

Our summer swim season is set to begin in one month. We are set to begin practice on Wednesday, June 1 at the UT SAC Indoor Pool. (NOTE: The outdoor pool is
undergoing renovation, so all practices will be at the indoor pool this year.
Next season, we will have a GREAT new pool!)

Registration will be handled through our website. 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, including how the swimmer name should appear on the
back of the shirt. We plan to order on the day of the first practice so that we
can have them by the first meet.

Everything you need for registration can be accessed by clicking
the link below:

www.universityswimclub.swimtopia.com

Registration fee is $275 per swimmer. This includes all practices, meet registration fees (SMI and City Meet fees are increasing) and the team t-shirt, as well as some other fun team activities and expenses. All payments should be made by credit card through our secure site.

You can also purchase parent t-shirts and UT parking passes when
you register.

Returning families and families affiliated with UT can receive a
$25 discount off the total price of registration. This includes students and employees at UT, UT Medical Center and UT Federal Credit Union. The discount code is displayed on the Payment screen near the end of the registration process. The code is GOVOLS.

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