Mandatory New Parent Meeting - May 9th Wednesday at 7.30 pm

If you are new to the team it is crucial that you come to the parent's meeting. One parent per family is sufficient. We will be talking about what the team offers to the swimmers as far as skill development and general info about practices. We will also cover all topics related to swim meets. Our first meet is May 29th and we have to be buttoned up as a team by then. If you are a seasoned swim parent and know the drill, you do not have to attend. Please read the attached info packet also.
