Dear Team,

Mark your calendars for the summer "optional" fun meets.

• July 16 at Center of Clayton

(All dates 5:15pm warm-up, with 5:30pm competition start, over in about an hour.)

The events are short and should offer an opportunity for competition experience.

Swim Practice Canceled

The Nat has had a mechanical failure. As of now, practice is canceled for the week of May 17, 2009.
If the status changes you'll get an email.

Have a good week.

Super Swimmers and Age Group Development are for those swimmers that can swim 50 yards without stopping. Reasonable proficiency in freestyle and backstroke is required.

Stroke Development is for those swimmers that are new to swimming or are still developing basic swim skills. You will swim in 30 minute sessions. Either 7 to 7:30 pm or 7:30 to 8:00 pm.
$55/mo

If you are new to the club, coaches will determine the appropriate swim group.

In addition to regular club fees, to swim or stay on the deck at Heman pool, a pool pass is required. Note: Parents wishing to walk their children in and leave may do so, but please be prompt in picking up your children.

Here are your options:
Residents: (As a reminder you must present your resident card)
Daily Admission Fees:
Youth: $3
Adult $4
Resident Senior (60 and older) $3

Resident Annual Swim Pass
Youth $70
Adult $87
Senior (60 and older) $70
Family ($140)

Non Resident:
Daily Admission Fees:
$6 (must be accompanied by a U. City Resident)
Our swim coach can accompany 4 swimmers under this rule - on a first request basis.

Non Resident Annual Swim Pass
Youth $105
Adult $130.50
Senior (60 and older) $105
Family $210

I recommend that you factor in how many times you think you'll be at the pool this summer and determine if a pool pass or daily admission is most cost effective for your family needs. If you are getting a pool pass, make sure you have it before practice season starts!

If you are already registered with the club you do not need to fill out any new paper work. For those that are new, we will have paper work available as needed.

Thanks,
