Good afternoon,

This is the 1st of 5 emails I'm sending today to summarize & update information new swimmers may have missed and as reminders to all. Also, I know there's a lot of moving parts, dates, events, rules, and team functions that can be confusing or overwhelming for families new to swimming, so always feel free to text, call, or email me if you have questions.

MEET OFFICIALS: Training/Test Link

We are always in need of officials, prior competitive swimming experience is not required. The training & test is one link (format: watch a short video, answer a few questions, continue onto the next video/questions). Also, if you like, you may hang out with the coaches at practice to get familiar with with what strokes and turns should look like.

Team Suits - Already ordered. If you didn't order, go to A&H Sporting Goods on Sullivan Trail in Easton, tell them your are on our team, and they will provide you with the suit for purchase. If they do not have your swimmer's size, then a plain green or black racing suit will suffice.

Team Caps - Already Ordered. If you need one, then they will be for sale on deck at meets and an occasional practice. However, like the suit, you can just get a plain green of black one from A&H too. 

Team Shirts - Will be on sale soon on our team store on our website. I'll send an alert through the Swimtopia app when it's available.

Swimtopia App - Download the app to your phone to get team alerts, updates, see swimmer upcoming events and swimmer results.

Pool Memberships - Everyone is required to have one at some level. Please purchase it through our website, gps.swimtopia.com, under the team store. We collect the money, collate, and send in bulk to the Phillipsburg Rec Department.
