Good evening!

We are so excited for our 2023 Swim Season. Welcome to all of our new families, and welcome back to our returning families. We are looking forward to seeing all of you soon. We wanted to go ahead and send out our tentative swim schedule as well as make you aware of some important reminders about swim team this summer.

1. We will have a parent meeting on Tuesday, May 9 at 7:00. It's important that at least one parent attend this meeting. See the attached flyer for more information. 

2. We are still looking for swim team sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring our swim team this season, please contact us ASAP at [email protected]

3. We are partnering with Lanier Goods Co. again this swim season to bring you spirit wear. Our main color this year is going back to Royal Blue that we used last year. It's important to note that Lanier Goods returns a portion of the money raised by our Spirit Wear store to our swim team. Last year, we bought the draw string bags for our kids to keep up with their goggles, caps, towel, and water all in one place.

Please click HERE to take a look at our Spirit Wear store. Please note that all orders are pre-orders. All orders must be completed by April 23 to ensure that we have all merchandise in time for our parent meeting.

4. We will be using the same swimsuits that we used last season, the royal blue ones. Go ahead and try on your swimsuits and jammers from last season to see if they fit. Let us know if you need to try on suits, and we can schedule a suit try-on day. Click this link to shop for suits: Buy suits

5. One important change to this season is that we are encouraging more families to participate in the ASA championship county meet at Georgia Tech. This meet will be held on Friday, June 30 at 9:00 AM. This was such a fun day for all our swimmers. Our goal is to have 75 swimmers travel with us to the ASA championship meet. 

6. I am copying and pasting our swim team schedule into the body of the email, but I am also attaching it to this email, if you would like to print it out. Notice that we only have 2 home swim meets this season.
