Team Registration:
All children are invited to join the swim team. Young swimmers should be able to swim one length of the pool, freestyle, without assistance. If you have questions, feel free to call Teri or Rick.
There is a $40 registration fee. All fees and registration forms must be received prior to the first meet. Parents please note also that, for insurance reasons, all dues must be paid before any child may participate in any practice. The $40 fee is refundable after a parent has worked one meet timing, scoring placing, officiating, or selling 50/50 tickets.
For every meet we need volunteers to assist as Timers, Runners, and Officials, as well as other jobs. We do appreciate all the help from our volunteers, but more are needed. To encourage volunteers, a $40 per family registration fee is required. Once a family member works as a volunteer at a meet, the fee will be refunded at the end of the swimming season. If a family member does not work as a vounteer by the end of the season, the fee will be forfeited. Experience is not necessary, on the job training will be provided! Please help our teams and volunteer just a little of your time. We appreciate your support and so do the children.
 Required Forms:
There are two required forms - make sure you fill out both!
--Please print and fill out this coaches' info form and give it to Coach Andrew at practice. (He will give your email address to Pauline Harding, who will add you to our Yahoo Group so you will get the emails with team info.)
--Also, please print and fill out this registration form and give it to Teri Kowalchuk at practice, with your check for $40.
Team Communication:
Our team uses this web site and a Yahoo email group to send information to team parents. Pauline Harding, hardingpj@yahoo.com, runs both. To join our group, ask Teri or Andrew to get you signed up, or send an email to Pauline at hardingpj@yahoo.com and ask to be added to the group.
