It is FINALLY time to register for swim team!!  I am so excited to be able to have a season again...it has been way too long!  Please read this carefully as there are some changes/adjustments due to Covid.  Know that we are doing our best to make this as fun as possible, but we also want to make sure we are being safe.  I'm sure I am forgetting things in this email as well, so please ask any questions you have!

We are using the same site this year, mtps.swimtopia.com, and if you log in it will load all of your info from last year! The league fees go up on April 15, so to save yourself some money, please register before then! Feel free to share this info with your neighbors/friends who may want to join the team, and also, check with others who were already on the team to make sure they get this email!

IN THIS EMAIL

• Junk/spam folders
• Who can swim?
• Practice info
• Meet info
• To register

JUNK/SPAM FOLDERS

Since this email goes out to a lot of people, it ends up in some junk/spam folders. Please check with your friends and neighbors that have been on the team in the past to make sure that they've seen this email!

WHO CAN SWIM?

There are a few differences this year:

• We are ONLY taking kids who already can swim on their own.  They do not have to be able to swim the length of the pool, but they do have to be able to keep themselves up without support from a person or flotation device.
• 19 year olds ARE allowed to swim this year since they lost out last season

PRACTICE INFO

I normally am able to send out practice times, meet dates, etc. with this email, but this year we will all have to be a little flexible.  Practice times will be similar to in years past (below), however a lot depends on how many swimmers sign up in each age group.  We cannot have 50 kids in the water at the same time with the current guidelines, so we will adjust times as needed, but they will be around these times.  

It may end up where everyone is guaranteed 4 practices a week and we'll have a sign up, or that we shorten each session by a little bit and add a 4th practice slot.  Just stick with us as we figure it out!

1st practice-May 10 (Mark Trail)

5:30PM- 6&unders

6-6:40- 7-10 year olds

6:50-7:30- 11&up

Once school is out (at Mark Trail)

8:30-9:20AM 7-10 year olds

9:30-10AM 6&unders

10:10-11AM 11&ups

(evening practices at Princeton Square 3 days a week at the times listed for when we're in school)

MEETS

We will NOT have normal meets this season.  We will be competing virtually against other teams, but we will be timing ourselves.  Depending on guidelines and how many swimmers sign up, this could happen on a certain day each week during practice or we could have certain age groups come on Tuesday nights (our meet night) to have as close to a meet environment as we can.  Again, stick with us as we figure it out, but we are going to make it as fun as we can, while being safe!

TO REGISTER

Please go to mtps.swimtopia.com to register for this coming season. You will see a button on the right that says "register now". If you have any questions about registering, please let me know!

I can't wait to see all of you soon!
