Swim Team is almost here!  Jeannette Elmore and Edie Lie will be co-managing the 2010 season.  Crystal Lee will continue as Pool Manager and assisting the managers.

We are happy to welcome back our coaching team, Annie Price and Kaila Lee co-coaches, from last season.  Both have year round coaching experience, are USA Swim Coach certified and have worked with the Midlakes Summer League. Both bring enthusiasm and experience and are excited for a successful swim season!

Please click HERE for registration forms and make checks out to HIGH WOODLANDS SWIM TEAM. You must turn in ALL forms before your registration will be processed.To secure a spot on the team and allow timely processing of the information, registration forms must be postmarked by May 7, 2010. Those postmarked after this date will be charged the higher fee as shown above.  

Eligibility:
All swim team applicants MUST be able to swim 25 yards of crawl stroke without touching the bottom of the pool or holding on to the lane lines, (deep water safe). The coaches reserve the right to refer any child to swim lessons who does not meet this condition or is unable to pay attention or follow instruction. This is a safety issue and will not be deviated from. Please remember that swim team is not a substitute for swim lessons. If a child is referred to swim lessons, the full registration fee will be refunded for that child. If the child withdraws, please inform the team manager by May 28th, and a full refund will be available. After that date , the registration fees are forfeited. In order to promote team unity we will be requiring swimmers to attend practices during the week in order to swim at the meets.

 

Swim Suits:
We will have a new team swimsuit this year. TYR Blue Eternal Flame.  These will be ordered online. We will have suits to try on for sizing if needed before the parents meeting.   
 
Practices:
The first workout will be on May 17th at the pool. This is a very busy night for the coaches and lifeguards so please have your child come to the practice they are scheduled for. We will be having practices from 6:00 - 9:00 PM until school is out, then we will have practices from 7:00 - 9:45 AM. Practices are Mondays through Thursdays. Practice times for specific age groups can be view on the age group calendar.
 
 
Parent’s Meeting:
All parents please plan to attend an informational meeting May 17th at the park under the covered shelter.  From 5:30 - 6:45 pm will be a time to meet the coaches, dry swimsuit fittings and order sweatshirts.  The parents meeting will start at 7:00 PM.   
 
 
Parent Volunteers:
Swim team is impossible to run without parent volunteers. We need your help and commitment. We expect every family to work at every home meet their child swims in and help at one away meet.  Sign ups will be available online after May 17th. The best jobs go fast!!
 
This year we have many team positions that need to be filled. Please go to the News tab above to see the open job descriptions.  Some of the team positions offer a reduced rate for your swimmers registration fees.
 
Thank you so much for your support of our swim team. We are looking forward to a great season!
