Swim Team News ~ Week of March 18
WEEK OF MARCH 18, 2024
Dear Swim Team Families,
Orinda schools are off today, maybe Moraga schools are too? Despite school being out, Spring Clinics are still on per the schedule below.
We have a busy week ahead. In addition to Weekday and Weekend Spring Clinics happening this week, the 8 & Under Evaluation will take place at MVP on Saturday, 12:10-3:50pm.
If you are a Junior Coach, we need your help at the evaluation! If you are able to attend, email Jenn/Hadley at [email protected].
Swim suit fitting #1 will take place at MVP on Sunday, 4:30-6:30pm. We have a new vendor this season, which means new suit styles. Please make sure that your swimmer attends as brands fit differently. MVP’s team suit store will launch online on Sunday.
If you are a new family, this fitting will help you understand what competition swim suit size to order. Competition suits are worn at swim meets. We recommend that all swimmers order a competition suit, even our Mini Marlins. Have questions? Reach out to [email protected].

8 & Under Evaluations at MVP, Saturday, March 23, 12:10-3:30pm. We are excited to welcome 66 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.
