Happy New Year!

Believe it or not, planning has begun for the 2022 Swim Season!  Please see below for details regarding the upcoming season, and mark your calendar with the important dates.  A few important things to note:

Important Information for the 2022 Swim Season

1. Registration for the 2022 Swim Season will open in March. Be on the lookout for details in the coming weeks.
2. All swimmers age 8 & under must be evaluated prior to the start of the swim season. Evaluations will be held at 4:30 pm on Monday, May 9th.
   * As defined by the Atlanta Swimming Association, swimmers must be able to swim independently and must be able to swim the length of the pool.
   *In addition, swimmers must be able to fully and comfortably submerge their face and body underwater and be able to float on their backs.
   * We encourage parents of younger swimmers to sign up for swim lessons this spring and to spend some time in the pool prior to the swim team evaluations.  We will not have a Junior Team this year.  If your child does not meet these criteria or if you have any questions, please contact Coach Katie Hillard. We will provide a refund, if necessary.
3. After school practices begin Tuesday, May 10th and run through May 26th. Practices will be held at The Riverside Club and will be offered Monday through Thursday. The schedule is as follows:
   4:00 pm – 4:30 pm – 6 & under
   4:30 pm – 5:30 pm – 7 & 8
   5:30 pm – 6:30 pm – 9 & up
4. The summer practice schedule goes into effect on Tuesday, May 31st.
   Morning practices will be held Monday through Friday at The Riverside Club, beginning May 31st:
   8:30 am - 9:00 am: 6 & under
   9:00 am - 10:00 am: 7 & 8
   10:00 am - 11:00 am: 9 & up
5. We will offer afternoon clinics once per week, but we will not have daily afternoon practices.  Afternoon clinics will be held on Thursdays at North Harbor, beginning June 2nd. The schedule will be released at a later date, and swimmers will have to sign up via Sign Up Genius in order to attend.
6. Swim meets will be held, beginning after Memorial Day and throughout the month of June. Typically, meets are held on Tuesday evenings.
7. During practice, no parents/spectators will be allowed on the pool deck. Please plan accordingly.
8. Age groups are based on the swimmer’s age as of June 1st, however, swimmers may move up to a higher age group if desired. For instance, a child, age 6 as of June 1st, will turn 7 over the summer and has just completed first grade. This child may choose to swim with the 7 & 8 year old group so that he/she can swim with his/her friends and classmates. Please contact Coach Hillard if you would like for your child to swim in an age group other than the one based on his/her age as of June 1st.

We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
