Welcome to SYC Summer Swim 2024!
Hello, SYC Swim Families!
Thank you for registering for the 2024 Sycamore Hills Swim Team! We are happy to have your family join our swim family this summer. We wanted to highlight some important details before our summer season kicks off.
EVALUATIONS
All swimmers will need to be evaluated by coaches on May 30th or 31st (drop in between 9:00-11:00am on either day). This is open house style so please come to the pool, check in with a coach, and they will evaluate each child's swim skills/level. A roster will be emailed on Friday afternoon, which will indicate which practice group your child should attend starting on Monday, June 3rd. If your swimmer cannot attend either evaluation date, please email us ([email protected]) and they can be evaluated on the first day they attend practice.
PARENT MEETING
We will host a parent meeting on Tuesday, June 4th at 7:00pm at the Sycamore Hills Swim & Racquet Club. We will go over our new online process for committing to swim meets, among other important items. This is also a great opportunity to ask questions and get involved in volunteering opportunities for the season.
PICTURE DAY
Please mark your calendars for picture day on Friday, June 14th from 9:30-11:00am. Varsity Photo will be poolside to take individual photos starting at 9:30am. You can come before or after your scheduled practice, but please stay for the team photo at 11:00am. There is not a make-up picture day. Pictures are taken at the Adult Pool so there is no prep practice that day, but prep swimmers please come for pictures.
TEAM SUITS
You can order team suits online from Elsmore Swim Shop and they will ship them directly to you. Order soon to have your gear by picture day. https://elsmoreswim.com/
