Swim Families,

Below is a quick recap of our meeting in case you were not able to attend. 

1. Goals & Expectations

Our focus is skill development & enjoyment. We will work to build stroke efficiency, improve starts & turns, and provide swimmers an adequate base for summer competition. We offer practice on Monday/Wednesday mornings and  Tuesday/Thursday evenings. We do not expect swimmers to attend all practices but rather encourage families to determine a schedule that works for them - twice a week is a great goal! See full calendar here: Full Schedule & Info

2. Communication 

Emails through our team website serve as our primary method of communication. Please read emails carefully as they will include information, deadlines, timelines, addresses and more. 

Remind (text @belfswim to 81010 to join) - Will be used for quick reminders & last minute changes/cancelations. While we try to make decisions early, summer weather can be unpredictable. Please note, if the pool closes we will likely not have practice AND anytime there is thunder or lightning we are not allowed in the water for 30 minutes (meaning the remaining practice would be canceled).    

3. Meets

Participation in meets is optional, though we encourage you to attend as many meets as possible! Please sign your swimmer(s) up for each meet in which they plan to attend. You may request/choose events and for the most part we will honor those requests. Our league does have some entry limits so adjustments will be made when necessary. We will ONLY enter swimmers listed as ATTENDING. We ask families to confirm registrations 1 week prior to each meet. I will send a list of swimmers approximately 24 hours before my entries are due to confirm that no one gets missed. This process has been tremendously helpful in keeping things organized and I greatly appreciate your help!

4. Team Gear

Team Suits - Optional: Online order instructions - We do ask girls to wear a competitive one-piece suit and boys to wear jammers or briefs. 

T-Shirts & More (optional) - LAST CALL - orders are due by 3 PM TODAY.
