Becoming an official is a great way to be on the pool deck up front and center. You will fulfill your volunteer commitment hours as well!
The officials meeting was held last week, but there are still opportunities for you to learn this skill and become an official for the team.

Spirit Wear

This fundraiser allows us to provide the best experience for your swimmer, plus fun activities like Donuts for Breakfast, an end of the season banquet and more.
- Order your gear today to receive by mid June.
- There are so many options this year, definitely something for everyone.
- Remember, your registered swimmer* gets a FREE team t-shirt, but as my kids told me, "Mom, we also need sweatshirts and sweatpants, and oh that tank would look great on you."
- Last day to order is June 3rd. Items will be handed out during practices.

*As long as your swimmer was registered before May 1st.
