We hope you are as excited about Summer Swim with USC as we are! Registration is open for the summer season!

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.

We will kick off our season with a cook-out at Marble Pavilion at Lakeshore Park on Wednesday, May 31 at 6:00p.m. We will meet the coaches, our teammates, and also have our Parent Meeting. A new addition to our Lakeshore kickoff this year will be a gear swap! This is a great time to bring suits and fins you have grown out of and get it in the hands (or feet) of younger swimmers!  Stay tuned for more details.

We are currently set to begin practice on Thursday, June 1 at the NEW UT SAC Outdoor Pool. (NOTE: The outdoor pool is still under construction and is expected to be ready for us. If it is not open when we begin practice, we will use the indoor 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. 

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

Registration fee is $275 for the first swimmer in the family and $250 for each additional swimmer. This includes all practices, meet registration fees, one swim cap 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 or Bennington can receive a $25 discount off the 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.

We will be ordering personalized caps and t-shirts by May 15. We want to be sure that everyone who wants a personalized cap gets one, and we want to be sure that all of our swimmers are named on the team shirt.
