PASA-DKS Weekly Email (9/15)

Hey All, 

I have put the most important things first. Then some light housekeeping. 

 1st Candy Meet Sign Ups are up. These meets are geared towards our younger swimmers to give them an opportunity to get times and some racing experience in a smaller, shorter environment that is a much better introduction to competitive swimming- Plus there is Candy! HERE is a very old video we have used to describe how to sign up for our summer league swim meets, but the method rings true- Sign In to the website (email [email protected] if you do not have a log in), Click on the Events tab at the top right of the page, select “Team Events”, then hit the pink “edit commitment” button, then select your athlete and their events. If you want to add times, please add them in the comments and I will update them. 

There will be NO PRACTICE for Junior 1 and 2 on Friday as we would like ALL these swimmers to attend this meet. Meet fee (mainly covers the pool rental and equipment costs) will be added to your online account. Please do not bring in checks or cash for this.
Silver Group- please look for an email from Coach Nicole on this.
Clinic group WILL have practice with Coach Dana from 4-4:40p

Registering for USA Swimming- New Swimmers (and those that did not register in 2025) must register NOW. Those that are returning, please wait until November. Those transferring, please fill out THIS form.
USA Swimming requires all members of PASA to be registered for insurance purposes.  Even if your swimmer does not participate in meets.
