The informational meeting to discuss the upcoming season will begin at 7:00 PM. WE URGE ALL PARENTS TO ATTEND THIS MEETING TO FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO SWITCH TO A CARDLESS MEET SYSTEM!

If you cannot attend the meeting please be sure to register your swimmer by Memorial Day weekend. SWIMMERS CANNOT PRACTICE until we have received a registration form. The registration form is posted on the website. If you are new to swim team this season and are unsure if your swimmer truly wants to participate, we offer a one-week trial period. If at the end of the first week your swimmer does not wish to continue we will return your check.

We are looking forward to another fun season and hope to see everyone on Wednesday night!

Sincerely,

Sharon Barr, Susie Dunne, Melanie Reverte

CONCESSION VOLUNTEER NEEDED. Becky Cruley who did a fantastic job last year will not be able to continue in this role this season. So, WE NEED A VOLUNTEER! The responsibilities of the concession manager are: 1) to stock the concession stand for each of the 4 home meets and Time Trials 2) work the concession stand during the home meets 3) attend a Fairfax County Health Dept Food Safety class - (90 minutes long). In exchange for volunteering for this position - we will give the concession manager a PASS for all away meets - meaning you don't have to work at any away meets. So - please consider helping out the team. The concession stand raises money for the team without which we would not be able to offer some of the fun social events and pay our coaches. This job can be shared if two or more people want to take it on. Please let us know!
