USC News and Notes: May 15
Swim Families,
It is hard to believe that our season will be starting in 16 days!
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE SUMMER SWIM SEASON
If you have not already done so, please register by Tuesday, May 17. We will be ordering team shirts on Tuesday in order to get them before the first meet.
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.
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.
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. Our supplier is facing supply-chain issues, so we need to order earlier than normal this year.
Everything you need for registration can be accessed by clicking

You can also purchase parent t-shirts and UT parking passes when you register. Parking services has asked that we order passes within this week to allow processing. We will be ordering t-shirts this week, as well.
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.
LET’S CELEBRATE COACH JOE!
As you know, Coach Joe and his family will be moving to Charleston within the next few weeks. We are planning a celebration to say “thank you” for his decades-long commitment to our team and to congratulate him on his move!
Our celebration will take place on Tuesday, May 31 at the Pavilion at Marble Hall at Lakeshore Park. We will plan to kick off our festivities at 6:00 pm and will conclude by 8:00 pm. Please bring a lawn chair. We are planning to have hot dogs and cake.
We will have a basket for cards for Coach Joe and would encourage you to have your swimmers make a card or write a note to Coach Joe. Also, we will have a “treasure chest” for any gifts or gift cards.
CERTIFIED OFFICIALS NEEDED
We are in need of certified officials. Please make plans to attend one of the Certified Officials training classes offered by GKAISA. No experience is necessary... just a willingness to learn.
