Competitive groups start practice tomorrow 8/31 for our 2015/2016 season. All swimmers MUST be registered prior to attending practice!! Please arrive to your respective practices early, with all required equipment, and armed with a great attitude!
All rec groups start practice Tuesday 9/1 which kicks off our Fall rec session. All practices are held at Kingsbury Club and times for each group are listed from the button on the homepage “when we practice”.
All new swimmers in ALL groups MUST have a birth certificate or passport copy on file with me. If you have not submitted or left it in my folder at the club you must bring to your first practice. Any swimmer that has not provided me with this that shows up for practice WILL NOT be able to swim. Please realize this policy is being communicated through NE Swim and there is no wiggle room.
All swimmers upon registering receive a confirmation email with an attachment. Your attachments provide you with some very important information and one of those items is the equipment that is required for each swimmer to have in their respective groups. Please read this attachment and if you have any questions at all feel free to email or call.
SATURDAYS have been added BACK onto the rec schedule! This was a very important practice day for alot of rec swimmers so you asked and we listened! When determining your rec swimmers schedule please look at the days/times offered and construct your swimmers schedule. We know everyone has conflicts in their schedules and we are fairly flexible however, as close as you can stick to the days/times chosen would be appreciated!
Our annual “fit clinic” will be held at the Kingsbury Club this Thursday September 3rd starting at 5pm. This event is held annually to allow our swimmers to get fitted for team suits, warmups, parkas etc. Additionally, we place orders for team towels, caps personalized with names and items that we need to order in bulk that can only be ordered once per year. Please make every effort to attend this event at some point during the evening to get your appropriate apparel/equipment ordered. We will have coaches on hand as always to make sure the fit is right and you are getting everything that you need! Keep in mind returning swimmers……….we ARE getting a NEW SUIT this year so you may want to see how this style fits prior to placing your order! Keep in mind, these are special orders so once the order is placed you OWN the suit! All swimmers that will be participating in meets MUST have a team suit. Competitive swimmers know this, rec swimmers if you think you will be participating in meets please attend.
It has been decided that parent meetings for all competitive groups will be held on September 21st starting at 4p at the Kingsbury Club. Your swimmers meeting will be held during THEIR practice time. Please note we request that there is at least one parent/guardian present at each meeting that relates to your swimmer. REC parent meetings will be held at Kingsbury Club on September 22nd.
Any equipment that was ordered through me will be delivered tomorrow and Tuesday respectively for your swimmer. If you need anything else in the interim that I can bring please let me know.
This is alot of information but the beginning of the season typically falls this way! Please don’t hesitate to email me or call me at 774-76-9063 and I will help with whatever you are having questions/issues with!
