Swim Team File Box
We use a file folder system to distribute ribbons, "speeding tickets" and other swim team items. Each Monday orTuesday after a swim meet there will be a labeled file folder box with file folders sorted by the swimmer's last name. Members of the same family will all be put in the same folder. The box will be located on a table near the bathrooms and will be available during swim practice hours. You are encouraged to check your child's folder regularly.
Awards Night
An end of season Awards Night is held at the end of each season at the pool. It is typically held on Sunday evening of championship weekend. Each swimmer will receive a gag award , medals/trophies will be presented to select swimmers. All team members are encouraged to attend and help celebrate the season!
