Just a reminder:
It’s time to register for swim team. We will be holding registrations at the Havre de Grace Activity Center (behind Havre de Grace Middle School) this Sunday April 19 and next Sunday April 26 from 2:00-4:00.
Please come prepared to sign up to volunteer at 3 meets.
You will also have a chance to pre-order you swim team suits, t-shirts, etc. at registration. We will not have suits to try on, you can order only if you are sure of your size. The pre-orders will be in the last week in May when we have the regular swim suit try on and order date.
Our morning practice schedule for this year will be as follows:
Session 1- 8:30-9:30 more experienced swimmers (swimmers who can legally swim all 4 strokes as well as IM)
Session 2- 9:30-10:30 less experienced swimmers
After all registrations have been received swimmers will be assigned a session and a coach. These will be posted at the parent meeting as well as in an e-mail.

We need Officials!!!
Please consider taking a training session to become an official. This is a great way to secure a front row seat at the meets! If you are interested you will need to attend one of the following training sessions. Please let Lauri know if you will be attending. Thank You!
May 20, Weds.-7:00 at Jarrettsville Fire Department
June 4, Thurs.- 6:30 BAAC
June 6, Sat.-6:30 Marriot on 543 and Rt.7
It is mandatory that all officials and stroke and turn officials be at one meeting.
There will be a try-out period for all new swimmers. Your child will have the first week of practice to make a reasonable attempt at swimming a 25 yard lap. They may swim any stroke, as long as they are unassisted. Again, after one week if your child has not progressed to swimming the 25 yards alone we will refund your money and recommend swimming lessons.
