Spring Swimming begins April 17

Spring swimming begins Monday, April 17.  The google calendars have been updated with our schedule.  Last day of spring is June 2.  Last day of summer is your last meet - this is typically in mid July for our swimmers. FEES Spring & Summer fees for Silver and Scarlet will be invoiced next week.  We are currently reviewing our invoicing process to make sure we are utilizing the most efficient and most secure processing system available to our budget. Once that review is finished invoices will be published and emailed to each family.   Spring fees (or 1/2 of your combined spring summer fees) will be due by April 24.  The remainder of your summer fees will be due June 9.  If you would like to break your fees into smaller payments, please email.

Spring & Summer Swimming

A big thank you to everyone that emailed by the March 15 deadline to indicate their participation in spring/summer.  We will now move everyone that did not send an email or is not participating in spring /summer into an inactive group on Active.  This will make room in our full group for new swimmers.  This will also take you off of our Active.com email list, but will keep you on this email list.  If you want to be removed from all emails, simply scroll to the bottom of this and click unsubscribe.   If you are continuing, you will receive information about how to pay fees next week (this information does not apply to continuing seniors & juniors).

Our spring & summer information is now available.  This includes the spring schedule, group & fee information.  The summer schedule is still being finalized but will be similar to last summer.
