1.  We are happy to be welcoming back Rachel Arceri as our head coach this year!  She will be joined again by Shannon Hayes.

2. To register, please return the enclosed Swimmer Commitment Form with your membership renewal or no later than June 5, 2021 with payment.  $50.00 per swimmer (capped at $125 per family).  This includes a cap and t-shirt for your swimmer.  Please note that early sign up allows us to better prepare going into the season, getting accurate counts for the t-shirt order to have them in time for the first meet.

3.The Meet Schedule will be unique this year in order to keep the crowd sizes at a manageable level.  Meets will be broken up by age groups: 

     a.Swimmers 10 Years Old and Younger will swim on Tuesdays

     c.There will only be 4 meets, swimming against each club one time

     e. The schedule is posted on the website.

      f.PLEASE LET COACH RACHEL KNOW IF YOU ARE GOING TO MISS A MEET,                     PREFERABLY 48 HOURS AHEAD OF TIME.  It is difficult to set up meet line-ups             and the more advance notice the coaches have of an absence, it will make                     setting up the meet line-up a little easier!

4.  Meet timing remains the same.  Warm up begins at 5:00pm and swimmers should be at the pool no later than 4:45pm.  The meet will start at 6:00pm.

5.  Practices are held Monday-Friday mornings.  First practice is Monday June 21, 2021

      b.  9:00am-10:00am: 10 & Under Swimmers

6.  EVERY FAMILY MUST VOLUNTEER TO WORK 2 OF OUR HOME MEETS.   We have enough families in the program where each family only needs to volunteer to work two meets.  A change this year will be a family will be fined $50 if you do not volunteer at least twice.  Volunteers are critical to the successful running of the meet.   As in past years we will use Sign Up Genius for job selection.  More details can be found on the included Meet Volunteer SignUp Letter.
