CAT Apparel
Several parents have asked about shirts for
parents and an explanation of the team shirts, warm-ups, etc.
If you still have questions after this, talk to Gina
McCarty.
CAT Team shirts: These shirts
are only for swimmers. Each year there is a new design and
the shirt is included in your registration fee. While this
year's shirt - blue with "We feed on competition"- is not
available to parents, any leftovers from previous years can be
purchased from the on deck cabinet for $5 for parents or
swimmers.
CAT Warm-ups: Black shirt and
pants with orange trim. Strongly suggested for Senior squad.
Only available in adult sizes. To purchase one of these,
contact Mary Ellen at TigerTown Graphics (864-654-1365). The
price last year was around $84; I'm not sure if there was a price
increase.
CAT Hoodie: Blue with gray
trim. I'm not sure about size availability or price. Contact
Mary Ellen at TigerTown Graphics.
While these are the only "official" CAT
apparel items, TigerTown Graphics is happy to embroider the CAT
logo on any item. You can purchase your shirt, jacket, etc.
from them or bring in your own. Some parents have t-shirts,
v-neck t-shirts, polo type collared shirts, and many swimmers have
bags with the logo. Trying to please everyone is next to
impossible. This arrangement with TigerTown Graphics gives everyone
the opportunity to show their CAT colors and support in clothing
that fits their own personality and style.
Money Matters:
Invoices for Nov. were
created. Please log in to see your account balance which is
what is due and will be deducted through your bank draft or charged to your
credit card. Your invoice will only show what was
billed through Oct. 21. Anything added between Oct. 21 and
Oct. 31 will show as "uninvoiced" but will show in your balance
which determines your payment. Credit cards and ACH charges will
process on Nov. 1. If you are paying monthly, leave your payment in
the folder at the pool marked "Monthly Fees." A late
fee will be added if payment isn't received by Nov. 20. Coach
Jon will be billing for the Coastal Aquatic and Anderson Meets
soon. Clear as mud? Contact Gina McCarty at ginasmc@bellsouth.net or 864-885-1023 if you have
questions.
