Dear Swim Team Families:
On behalf of the Board of Directors and swim coaches we want to welcome you to another swim season! We are looking forward to another fun and successful season. The senior swimmers start swimming August 29th, and all ages will begin practice on September 6th. Please bring any friends or neighbors who might be interested in joining the team to practice.
We are happy to report that we will not be raising dues for the upcoming 2011-2012 season. However, this season we will be implementing an online registration and payment system. We want to encourage all families to use this new system as it will streamline our accounting and help us manage the team’s records. Although the system is set up to take credit cards and echecks, there will still be an option to send payment through the mail. Monthly payments will still be an option; however you will need to opt out 5 business days before the first of the month or you will be charged. Suzanne has attached the link to the online registration; it is also available on the team website. We would like to encourage everyone to register as soon as possible, especially the senior swimmers who have begun practice. Please address any questions you have on the new registration system to Suzanne.
I would also like to remind our swim families that we are currently in the process of soliciting sponsorships for the upcoming 2011 season. If your business or family would like to be a sponsor, please let Suzanne.
If you recall, at the end of the season we solicited your feedback on a short membership survey. Thank you to all members who completed the survey. Your ideas, suggestions and comments will be beneficial to the coaches to help plan for the 2011 season.
We will be having our mandatory fall meeting mid-September, please check out your email or the team webpage for the date this week. We will be discussing the swim meet schedule and fundraising efforts for the season.
Thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm. We hope you and your swimmer have a great swim season!
Suzanne Schieltz
Head Coach
