There are NO PRACTICES on Tuesday January 18th and Thursday January 20th due to the final two RFHS boys HS swim meets of the year. On Tuesday, the RFHS boys take on Coach Michael’s Tartan High School Swim Team, it’s a great opportunity to see Coach Michael cheer for all of the swimmers in the pool, and still try to beat his club swimmers and his wife! Come join us for the meet!
We are still seeking timers for both meets this week, please go to the google doc and sign up if you are able to help us time! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJv-9Jq4-4H8_W2khV7KsmekLEIVBRj_V6x5HZb37zs/edit?usp=sharing

TEAM SUIT ORDERING: Link to order/purchase your suits: https://zoneswimwear.com/collections/river-falls-swim-club
- PASSWORD FOR ORDERING: GoRiverFalls
-Email Coach Michael if you want to set up a time to try the sizing kit in the pool office to verify you get the right size. Girls suits, the thick strap version and thin strap version fit and size differently, we only have the thick strap version of the suit as part of the sizing kit. If you decide you are going to order the thin strap suit, you will want to go one size larger than the suit you try on in the sizing kit.
-Swim suit purchases are a direct sale between the families and the vendor, they will ship the suits straight to your house after purchase. If there are issues with sizing, there is nothing that RFSC can do to assist you, you must reach out directly to the vendor to work on corrections.
HAPPY SWIMMING!
Michael
