Hi Swim Families,
Below you will find the link to the swim team registration. Please complete the Google Form for EACH swimmer in your family. For example, if you have two kids, you should fill this form out twice. The email distribution list will be generated from this form, therefore, if both parents want their email included, please be sure to fill out both contacts even though only one is required. Once you have completed the form, please drop off the registration fee to Liz Adkins, at 12355 Steeplechase Lane in an envelope with your swimmer’s name(s). Please place the payment in the swim team bin on the porch. Only cash or check are accepted this year, due to Venmo tax changes.

Hi Swim Families,
We hope you enjoyed the rest of the summer and hope everyone is having a great school year so far. Thank you for a fantastic swim season!  At the beginning of the season, the coaches came up with goals for the team. 

The goals were:

• By the Champs meet, 75% of our swimmers will improve their times from the first meet. 
• Our team will score in the top 5 at Champs. 
• We will do this by encouraging our swimmers at practice, coaching them on strokes, providing feedback, cheering for each other at meets, and creating a fun atmosphere.

We are pleased to say that 100% of our swimmers improved their times from the first meet to the last and we placed 3rd at Champs!  This is an amazing accomplishment and we are so proud of our dedicated coaches and hardworking swimmers.  Thank you to everyone for all you’ve done to make the season successful.  

The 2023 Champs meet will take place on Saturday, July 15, 2023, so you can plan accordingly.  We would like to have all swimmers participate.  The tentative start date for practice is Tuesday, May 30, 2023.  We will get the schedule out to you as soon as it is completed.  If you have any questions, please let us know!  Also, if your swimmer would like to keep swimming throughout the year see below for some information about Swim United, which is a great program to develop swim techniques while having fun and meeting new friends.
