From Coach Jon:
Just a quick wrap up of the proceedings at the Myrtle Beach meet last weekend - We had 10 swimmers go to the meet hosted by Coastal Aquatic Club, a great 3-day timed finals meet with one session for each age group on both days. With almost 80% best times for the team we left with a fist full of medals and great memories from a weekend spent almost equal parts in the pool and at the beach. This will become an annual event for CAT and I encourage swimmers and parents of athletes of all ages to try and be a part of it next year. Simply put, it’s a great weekend and excellent swimming.

Money Matters:

Invoices were e-mailed to those who owe money.  Credit cards and ACH charges were processed on Oct. 1. If you have an outstanding balance, leave your payment in the folder at the pool marked "Monthly Fees."   A late fee will be added if payment isn't received by Oct. 20.  To view your account history, log in to www.clemsonaquaticteam.org. If you have questions, contact Gina McCarty at ginasmc@bellsouth.net or 864-885-1023.
 
Website Info:
If you haven't already done so, please log in to the team website and update all of your information  - account and member. Many families have incomplete info (for example - no shirt size) and, unfortunately, it's usually too late, not to mention, time consuming, to call each person individually when the information is needed. If you need help navigating the website, contact Gina McCarty at 8864-885-1023 or Tracy Arwood at 864-650-0858.
 
BiLo & Ingles:

BiLo & Ingles gift cards are available in $25, $50, $100, & $200 amounts.  These are kept "on hand" and do not need to be ordered with UnitedScrip.  Contact Gina McCarty to arrange pickup.
 
UnitedScrip:
UnitedScrip order form can be found on the website under “Documents” and, also, at the pool.  To place your order, leave your order form and payment in the folder (in the CAT filing cabinet) at the pool marked "Scrip Orders" by 7pm each Tues. Your order will be ready by 7pm each Thurs.  If you need to make a special order, please allow a few extra days. Contact Gina McCarty with any questions.
