The first member registration will be held after the General Members Meeting (April 21st, Bel Air Library) and again at the pool on Saturday, May 3. Members and non-members can sign up at the pool on Saturday, May 10th only from 10 am- 12 pm.  Non-members can only sign up on May 10th. Swim suit sales for those that need them (same suit as 2007) will be offered on May 10th only (Cy’s will be on hand to size the swimmers). Pool registration runs from 10:00 am-12:00pm on both Saturdays. Forms will be available at each of the sign-up dates.

COST*: For members: $80 for one swimmer, $130 for two, $170 family maximum.  For non-members: $100 per swimmer, ($90 for each additional swimmer).  There will be NO mail-in registrations accepted.  Age Groups will be limited, so sign up early. Note:  The cost includes Registration, HSL Head Tax, HSL Dual Meet fees, Championship Meet Fees, Valley Brook invitation (for 12-under swimmers only),  social events and year-end party.  This fee is NON–REFUNDABLE (except the one exception noted below)!

In addition to the registration fee, each family will be required to bring food to two of the four home meets. Food selection can be found on the sign up sheets. You can opt out of the food option for an additional $20/family, payable with your registration.  All families must also provide drink donations. Further details will be provided. These donations help us raise money and will cost you LESS than if we were to charge you all cash.  We need your help. All families MUST sign up for a minimum of four meets to volunteer (home or away). We cannot run the meets without help!

Beginning swimmers must be able to swim one length of the pool. If any child is not able to show this ability within the first few days of practice, we will ask that they wait till next year to join. Practice is NOT to be in lieu of swim lessons. Any swimmer that is asked to wait a year will have their registration fee returned. No swimmers under 5 years of age please.

 

Practice days and times will be posted on the Fountain Green Swim Club Website.  A “practice” meet is being planned for May31st (8-10am). See  http://fountaingreenswimteam.blogspot.com/ for all details. The first practice/parent meetings will be held on Tuesday, May 27th and practices will be held at night until public school is completed. Practices for age groups will be held in the morning and evening on weekdays (except for Wednesday and Friday evenings).

We also encourage all swimmers to attend as many practices and all the meets, including the HSL Championship (July 19-20). They only can get better through experience and that comes from the meets!  All swimmers are eligible for HSLs, regardless of times. Coaches will work with the kids to make sure they are able to swim their best events.
