Do you have a New Swimmer?

Do You Have a New Swimmer?
To join the team, a child must be five years old and able to swim one length of the pool without assistance. Children new to the team (who have not participated in our spring clinic and have not already been on another swim team) must have an assessment session with a swim coach to be certain that he or she is ready for the practice environment. Our 2009 assessment will be Sunday, May 17, 3-4 p.m. at the St. Catherine’s Kenny Center pool. Our coaches will work with children one-on-one to determine readiness. Please contact Jenny Hatch at jennyh@mgmiller.com if you plan to attend. If your child is not able to attend this session, please contact Jenny to arrange another time during the first week of practice. We ask that new swimmers not participate in practice until the coaches have had an opportunity to meet and work with your child. Please realize that the St. Catherine’s pool is heated; our SRA pool can be a bit chilly for little ones that first week!

If your child is unable to attend this session, please contact Laura Ferguson at  lferg5@verizon.net to arrange another time during the first week of practice--but remember that the St. Catherine's pool is heated, and SRA can be a bit chilly for little ones that first week! We ask that new swimmers not participate in practice until the coaches have had an opportunity to meet and work with your child.

(Note: Swimmers who are new to SRA, but have been active swimmers
for another team, do not have to have an assessment.)
