Attention all Swim team members

 

We will have a parent meeting on Wed. May 31. at 6:00.

 

We will have informational packets available and Fast Times swim wear will be there for suit fittings and orders.   You will only have a short time after this meeting to order a suit and to guarantee your suit will be here by the first meet.  All suits ordered by the deadline will be delivered to the pool so you will not have to pick them up.  We were unable to keep the same suit as the last few years because it was discontinued.

 

Also, there will be a volunteer sign-up for each meet...bring your calendars!

 

The kitchen will be open until 7pm and then the "sailor's buffet" will be available at 8:30.

 

Hope to see everyone there!

 

Questions call:  Patty Green - 429-9950
