What will I need to bring to register?
1. Decide if you want to order a team suit, and know your child's size. Look up the sizing chart here:http://www.tyr.com/sizing.php Team suits are not mandatory, but encouraged, having a new competition suit will help your swimmer focus on swimming and not what their wearing. Competition suits are created for less drag in the water and easier swimming.
2. Decide if you want to compete in traveling meets. All meets we attend are US Swimming sanctioned meets and require US Swimming registration. If you do not wish to compete in meets, that is okay! Our season is organized for the success of all participants through practice.

Can I meet the coach and ask questions?
YES! Come sign up on Wednesday, October 12th from 3:30-5:00 and I will be here to answer all your questions. If you can't make it that day the front desk can answer you questions, and if I'm here I'll be glad to talk to you! Always feel free to send me an email or call with any questions.

What do I need to do to compete in meets?
You need to register with US Swimming, which you can do at the front desk when you sign up, or complete this form and home and bring it in:
