TEAM SUITS

  • If you do not know what suit size you are, coaches will have a fit kit with them this week to try on before ordering. 
  • Because Q suits are CUSTOM it is important you know your size as there are no returns!

  • Safe Sport contact: Bill Nichols
  • Officials and Timers contact: Bill Nichols
  • Team Captains: Joey Fiermonti, Alexandra Nichols, Katie Rocha
  • Please keep an eye out for messages from our team captains. They often are our social event planners and need RSVPs from parents for parties. 

 

MEET SIGN UPS

  • Please check the events calendar for meet sign ups. October meets are being entered TONIGHT!
  • Our team travel meet is December 1-3 to UVAC. We need a minimum of 10 swimmers to attend. Please let us know your interest in that event ASAP!!!

 

YMCA MEMBERSHIP

  • The YMCA has presented us with a membership option for dryland.
  • At this time, they would like swimmers to sign up for a teen membership @ $25 per month.
  • If parents would like to use the gym as well, that would be an additional $25 per month.
  • I do plan on speaking with the Aquatics Director on Tuesday to see if this is our only option. 

 

Thanks all and have a great week!
