First meet is on Thursday, 9/12 at the Edgebrook Pool (near Tyee Middle School).  Meet starts at 4:00pm.  Volunteers/timers to please arrive no later than 3:40pm.

Reminders: 
1. FEES are due - The Sports Fee (Swimming) and ASB Fee must be paid to be eligible to compete.   Go to Family Access ONLINE PAYMENTS.
2. Bus transportation is provided ONE-WAY ONLY to meets held at pools other than The Club at Snoqualmie ("TPC").  Parents are responsible for transportation home.  Please complete the CARPOOL Form and turn in to Coach Stewart or the MSHS Athletic Office if:

• Your child will get a ride with another parent, AND/OR
• You will be giving a ride to any athlete other than your own child.  In this case, you must also complete the background check form.

We plan to distribute team caps - one per swimmer - at practice on Wednesday.   For girls that ordered a team suit through the group order, the suits will be distributed as well.

Parkas will be distributed this week.  We will be short on team-issued parkas due to our roster size this year.  As an alternative to receiving the team-issued parka (for use during the season only), girls can choose to purchase their own personal deck-coat for permanent keeping.  Instructions to do so are posted here.

Suit orders are due this Friday, Aug 30th!  We have sample suits for the girls to try out all week before practice so they know which size to order.  Use middle link above to view the Instructions on how to order online!

Also - the practice schedule is now updated.  Go to 'CALENDAR' from top menu above.

We're excited for the 2019 Fall season of Wildcat Girl's Swim!  Important updates as we kick off the season:

Suits, Caps, Parkas and Spirit Wear - All swimmers are responsible for coming to practice with a swimsuit, cap, goggles, towel and water bottle.

• Caps - all team members will be issued ONE free team cap (thank you, Booster Club!). We recommend this cap be used for competitions only.
• Parkas - all team members that did not purchase a deck coat last year will have the option of: 1) receiving a FREE team-issued deck coat for season use (to be returned at the end of the season), or 2) independently order a deck coat (same style/color/embroidery as the team parka).  
• Spirit Wear - the coaches and captains are preparing Spirit Wear designs and hope to have order forms available within the first 1-2 weeks of the season.
