The goals for the season will be as follows:

5. To have fun while learning and improving in swimming and diving.

I invite you to attend as many meets as you can, your support and encouragement is important.

The expectations for the team are as follows:

1. All players are expected to attend every practice and every meet.

2. I understand conflicts arise that may cause your child to miss a practice or a meet. Please have your child bring a note or send an email explaining why they need to miss.

3. We practice every day until 4:40. please have rides set up before hand. There is an Activity Bus every day as well. The map of routes is displayed by the student entrance. All students riding the activity bus must have an activity bus pass.
