Parent t-shirts and team gear

Parents,

It was great to see you all at the parent meeting last night. I know we mentioned getting parent t-shirts this year and I have some information from Linda Heys about costs as well as a design.

For parent t-shirt we have three options this season.

Option #1- men's cotton t-shirt which costs $8.00

Option #2- men's drift t-shirt which costs $11.00

Option #3- woman's cut t-shirt which costs $10.00

All shirts will have the one design shown here. All shirt sizing is standard.

Your daughters will be filling out the orders on an order sheet at practice, so if you want to let your swimmer or diver know the type and size please let them know. All payments need to be turned in at the time of your order. Please make checks payable to Linda Heys.

The deadline for placing your order is August 24th.

Additional team gear:

Physicals & Parent Meeting

Swimmer, Divers & Parents!

It was great to see some of the swimmers and divers tonight at the Vanharns house to watch the Olympics, it makes me excited for our season to start.

Just a reminder that the girls need to have a physical and their physical form handed in to the office by August 8th. In order to participate in practice or a meet it has to be turned in!

Also we will be having a parent meeting at the end of practice on August 14th at 7:45 if you want to mark you calendar. We will plan on the conference room overlooking the pool unless you hear otherwise.

Go Eagles!

Get in shape before season

Parents and swimmers,

If anyone is free tomorrow night (July 23) some girls are headed over to EGR High School Pool to swim from 7-9pm. Feel free to come and swim for how ever long you can make it. I think it is a couple of dollars to get in, so bring some cash.

They are also planning on swimming July 25th, July 30th and August 1st.

We have a couple of parents volunteering for the Eagle Extravaganza on the 16th. If anyone else is looking to help out let me know!

Go Eagles!
