Summer is headed our way and we have a lot of information for you below! 

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE SUMMER SWIM SEASON

We will kick off our season with a cook-out on Tuesday, May 28. We will meet the coaches, our teammates, and have our parent meeting. Be sure to join us for our kick off to meet one another, reconnect and to learn more about volunteer roles. 

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. (We will not include swimmer names on the back of the shirt this year).

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. We are waiting word from UT on parking for this year.

Returning families and families affiliated with UT 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.

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.
