Last Practice: The final practice of the swim season for the all Sailfish swimmers will be on Monday, June 29th.

We ask that swimmer attend their age appropriate practice as much as possible. We understand that there are many siblings sets and families are busy. However, we want all of our swimmers to get the most out of their practices and each practice is geared towards a different level.

We also ask that your family try to attend either the morning or the afternoon practices as much as possible. Our team is large, so the more consistently your swimmer attends the same practice block the more that our coaches can learn the needs of each swimmer.

Our swim league relies on volunteers to ensure that our swim meets run smoothly. As a host team for three meets, we will need parents to help with the following positions:

Meet Official 

Stroke/Turn Judge 

Runners (2) 

Starter

Bull Pen 

Event Tracker 

Data Entry 

Timers (6-12)

Several of these require additional training. However, EVERYONE can time!

We will offer some training (conducted by the league officials) and will communicate this with you when the information is available.

It is mandatory for families to volunteer for at least one meet to help support your swimmer and the team. Coach Ronald will assign volunteer duties to families in advance. If you have a background in swimming and can volunteer for a more permanent role or act as a judge at the meets, please email Ronald at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your support!

We will have our end-of-season swim team banquet on Thursday, June 25th. We will celebrate the end of our season and recognize our swimmers for their hard work. All swim meet ribbons for the season will be handed out at the banquet.
