Who can
join?
Boys and girls ages 5 though graduating seniors are
eligible to become members of the Sea Stars. The only criteria is
that swimmers should be able to swim one length of the pool
unassisted. Swimmers will compete within the following age groups:
6&u, 8&u, 9&10, 11&12, 13&14, and 15 thru 18
Age is determined as of May 31st.
Team registration is available for South Pointe Swim Club
Members and returning swim team families. Swimmers whose families
are not members of the South Ponte Swim Club are not allowed any
additional usage of the facility beyond their swim team
activities.
It’s cold and
raining do we have practice?
No practice will be held if there is heavy lighting or
heavy rain. On cool mornings the coach will determine if practice
will be held in the water. If you are not sure, the coaches
will be at the pool each morning regardless of the weather.
You can always check the website for important
announcements.
Do I have to work
meets?
The parents play a crucial role on our team. The coaches
and swimmers rely on parents to organize and run meets and social
events. Volunteering is mandatory and essential for a
successful season .
Each family will be required to work at the swim meets
their children will attend. Parents are required to find their own
substitutes in the event they are unable to attend a meet in which
they are scheduled to work.
We need swim meet officials at all of our swim meets. The
Naperville Swim Conference will host official’s clinics prior
to the season to train parents.
Each swimmer’s registration will be accepted upon
completion of the parent’s volunteer registration form. It
takes a minimum of 40 workers to run a home swim meet and 25 to run
an away meet.
What Do I Bring to the Meets?
Be sure to bring swimsuit, goggles, 2 or 3 towels, warm
clothing such as sweat pants and shirts, bug spray, snacks and
water or a sport drink (although most pools sell these at their
concessions). It’s also a good idea to bring along something
to occupy your time in between events such as cards, gameboy or
books.
