WEEK OF MARCH 11, 2024

 

Dear Swim Team Families,

 

Our coaches reported a smooth first week of Spring Clinics. We hope your swimmers enjoyed being back in the pool. The one positive about Daylight Saving Time is that our evening practice will no longer be in the dark. 🙂

 

Week #2 of Weekday Spring Clinics continues this week, age group times are listed below. 

 

Note that the next Weekend Clinic is Saturday March 23, and not this Saturday.

8 & Under Evaluations at MVP, Saturday, March 23, 12:10-3:30pm. We are excited to welcome 60 swimmers to the evaluation! If this applies to your family, you should have signed up for a 10-minute time slot by now. If not, reach out to [email protected] to schedule. 


 

Swim Suit Fitting #1 at MVP, Sunday, March 24, 4:30-6:30pm. Our new swim suit partner, Elsmore Swim Shop, will fit swimmers for competition suits. We highly recommend that all families (including our Mini Marlin families) attend a fitting as styles are different than in 2023 and competition suits fit differently (yes, much tighter) than casual swim suits. We hope that the older girls will be excited with the Jolyn style offered this year! Tip - please make sure that your swimmer wears underwear to the fitting as it is required when trying on the suits.
