Swim Team News and Registration Info
Swim Team E-mail Group
If you’d like to receive the latest and greatest news about the swim team and are not already receiving swim team e-mails, contact Phil Hunnicutt at phunnicutt@collegiate-va.org. E-mail is the primary and best way for our coaches and volunteers to communicate with you. Meet scores are sent out in the wee hours after each meet, so they’ll be ready for your viewing pleasure the next morning. Also, visit www.sra-fun.org for updates and information.
Registration
You may register your child for swim team by mail, in the SRA office or during practice. If you have questions about registration, Jenny Hatch is often available during afternoon practice. All swimmers must be registered by June 3 in order to participate in the first meet on June 12.
Fees for 5-16 year olds are $90 per swimmer; register by June 3 to take advantage of a $5 discount (you’ll pay $85 per swimmer). Families with three or more swimmers pay full price for the first two and $50 per swimmer for the third and fourth swimmers. For our 17 and 18 year olds, we have a special “senior” fee of only $17.
In addition to completing the registration form, parents must complete and sign a medical release and waiver form and a meet attendance sheet. These forms are found with our registration form, pgs. 17-18 of this newsletter.
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 haven’t participated in our spring clinic and who haven’t 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 2011 assessment will be Sunday, May 15, 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 jhatch02@comcast.net if you plan to attend. If your child isn’t able to attend this session, contact Jenny to arrange another time during the first week of practice. We ask that a new swimmer 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; SRA’s pool can be chilly for little ones that first week!
