High School Swim Team Update - Week of 10/30/23

Good afternoon everyone,

It was great to see everyone on Friday! As we gear up for the first full week, please take a look at the reminders and our weekly schedule listed below. There are several important items with the season getting started.



Reminders:
1.) If you have not already done so, please make sure that you have completed the team Google Form sign-up so that you are able to receive the weekly newsletter and updates.
2.) Final Forms need to be completed for the first day a swimmer will participate. This includes an athletic physical (Example linked here; will be the last page as you fill out FinalForms). Physicals are good for 13 months. If you have participated in another school sport or activity, please double-check that you have swimming selected in Final Forms. Forms can be handed to coaches at practice.
3.) For arrival/pick-up, please park and use the door on the West side of the UH Wellness Center. Please take a look at page 9 of the team handbook for maps.
4.) Suit orders can be made on our team store page through Aquatic Outfitters linked here. The store will run through the end of the day Mon Nov 6th. These are the Speedo Endurance suits that will last multiple seasons. They have made some changes to how the online store works. Suits will not appear pre-discounted, we will need to use our 20% discount code MentorHS23@. Please be sure to select the team logo and the team suit. Suits will be bulk shipped to the HS so there will be no shipping fee. If ordering a suit on your own, please make sure that it is solid black with red trim for girls, solid black for boys.
5.) Spiritwear orders can be made on our team store page through Vector linked here. The store will run through the end of the day Mon Nov 6th. There are a variety of options this year. Please pick at least one favorite option for meet days when the team wears spiritwear to school. Parents/families, you are encouraged to order any items you would like as well.
6.) For practice, you will need your suit, towel, goggles, swim cap (if you prefer one).
