5) Be sure to complete the pool application AND the online swim team registration. Pool applications can be downloaded one from the Queens Lake Community website (Facilities->Pool->Documents). Also, if you drop off just the check for swim team and the pool, please include the invoice from your swim team registration (received via e-mail) to help the Queens Lake Community administrative staff with corresponding names and addresses. If you have not registered for swim team yet, please do so by May 31st to guarantee a team t-shirt for your swimmer(s).

6) After practice be sure to use ear drying drops to avoid or minimize the risk of swimmer's ear. Bottles of the drops can be found in Target, Walmart, and Walgreens. *2-3 drops right after practice*

7) Swim Meet Officials Training - QL Clubhouse on Friday, June 7th 7pm

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY: The team is in need of officials AND we need a 5-6 parents to step up for this important role. VPSU provides the training (it is brief and informative). Please consider contributing to the team in this way. Officials get to see all the swimmers up close, right next to the pool deck because they observe the swimmers during their events to ensure their strokes and turns are legal. If you have questions, contact Shawn Nelson via email at [email protected].

If you have ANY questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or text us. We want summer swim to be safe, fun, and exciting for all families and we value your support and input.

Take care,

Your swim team coordinators
