HEAT Parents/Athletes,
Great job to our NCAT Winter Invite participants - and best of luck to those competing today!
Thank you to all who donated toys for our Toys for Tots drive.
Please renew your swimmers USA Swimming membership for 2026 if you have not already. All swimmers must have active membership to continue practicing and competing for HEAT after 1/1/2026.
Every holiday season, we collect donations towards our coaches’ holiday gifts. Parent Council recommends a donation of $10/family. You can send via Venmo @HEATPC - please put ‘holiday gift’ in the memo. Thanks for helping to celebrate our amazing coaches during this holiday season!

WINTER WEATHER REMINDER
As we head into winter, we’d like to remind you of our Winter Weather policy. Any time Hudson City Schools are closed/canceled, morning practice is AUTOMATICALLY canceled. Afternoon practices are dependent on clearance from the school district, and a decision is typically made by noon. All practice cancellations notifications are sent by email and team feed.
HOLIDAY BREAK SCHEDULE
Over the holiday break, we follow a slightly different practice schedule. View that schedule here.

Reminder for those who have not yet renewed for 2026 yet, you need to renew prior to Dec. 31. Use our HEAT specific link - all athletes should choose premium membership. (All of our new swimmers who just joined this fall are registered through 2026 already.)
