4.  Sweatshirt orders must be placed by the end of Thursday in order to have our gear for our first meet.  I will have a sweatshirt in my classroom (H2) for you to gauge your size.  I am ordering from the same company as last year.  So if your sweatshirt from last year still fits, order the same size.  Please email me, drop by the classroom, tell me at swim practice on Thursday, call or text.  You don't want me guessing your size.   

5.  Thursday's parent meeting is only if you were unable to attend the last one and need more info on swim team or if you have any questions for the YMCA coaches.

Hello all!

3. During practice this week, I will be collection information for sweatshirt and swim suit sizing so we can have our gear for our first meet.  Here is the link to help pick your suit size. We are getting the suits in the red splatter design.  Just scroll down to the sizing chart and take your measurements.  Please remember the suits are true to size and they are supposed to be fitted to prevent "wardrobe malfunctions".
