High School Swim Team Update - Week of 10/26/26

Good afternoon everyone,

It was great to see everyone at practice last week! We are looking forward to keeping the progress and fun going as we enter the first full week! Our reminders and schedule for the week are included below. I am happy to help if you have any questions!

Reminders:
1.) If you have not already done so, please make sure that you have completed the team Google Form sign-up so that you are able to receive the weekly newsletter and updates. If parents would like to add any additional email addresses, please send them to me and I will get them added to the list.
2.) Please list any fall school sports you participate with that are still in season when completing the Google Form sign-up.
3.) FinalForms/Emergency Medical need to be completed for the first day a swimmer will participate. This includes an athletic physical (will be the last page as you fill out FinalForms). Physicals are good for 13 months. If you have participated in another school sport or activity, please double-check that you have swim team selected in Final Forms. Forms can be handed to coaches at practice.
4.) Team suits can be ordered at the website linked here. These are the endurance fabric suits made by Speedo that won't wear out due to the pool chemicals.
5.) Team pictures will take place next Thursday, Nov 5th, at the start of practice. Swimmers should wear their team suit and their team warmup jacket (will be passed out at practice). We will have swim practice after pictures and conclude at our normal time.
6.) For arrival/pick-up, please use the front door and main lobby of the facility.
7.) For practice, please bring your suit, towel, goggles, cap (if you prefer one), and water bottle (if you prefer one).
