Suits & Caps

Betsy Hood will be at practice Tuesday, June 1st, at 6:30 with swim suits that were ordered. Almost all of them arrived, one size was back ordered.

Betsy will also have the caps. Latex is $6. Silicone is $12. Please have correct change or bring a check.

The first meet is this Thursday against Bluff City at the East Memphis YMCA at 5885 Quince. Warm ups will start at 5 pm, so you will need to arrive a few minutes before to park and get settled.

Very, very important - If you have not filled out paperwork for swim team (link is in the right hand column), we will not know that you are swimming. Please print this out and bring it to practice. Entries are due on Wednesday. Without the paperwork, we will not know that you are active. So please, please fill out the form pronto.

Work Crew assignments should be posted tomorrow.
