Hi Team! It was so great talking to you last night! If you couldn't tell - I am so excited swim has started! A few things that came up during different practice groups:

1. Do we have to wear/have a team suit - No. We don't require a team suit. If you would like one, they can be purchased at the Swim Shops of Southwest. But all suits must be a 1 piece.
2. Goggles - if you are first time swimmer, it is suggested you visit the Swim Shops of Southwest so they are able to help best fit your child. But please do not get the solid piece goggles (the ones that cover up the nose) they will hurt your swimmer when they dive in.
3. Caps - they are not required by highly recommended. Silicon is suggested as it doesn't rip as easy or pull the hair. Team caps will be available for purchase, but any fun colored cap would work just fine.
4. Different practice times - due to COVID we are asking that all kids swim with their designated age groups. The Coaches have said - if you are running late that is ok - some water time is better than no water time.
5. Parking - the new parking rules are permanent. And job well done for everyone following the new guidelines.
6. Mask on deck - great job yesterday! So let's keep it going. Masks must be worn once you enter the green gates. It is suggested that you bring a ziplock baggie to keep your mask in while the swimmer is in the water.
7. Towels - for the little ones - you might want to bring 2. 1 for them to take on deck and 1 for when they get back to you - they are COLD!
8. Volunteer checks - if you have not yet turned yours in - please do so this week. $125.00 per family.
9. Chairs - you might want to bring some folding chairs for practice.

Thank you Parents for making this year happen! Without your continued support, we wouldn't be here. Happy Swimming!
