T-shirt Orders Due by June 17th! We will soon be placing Foxwear orders for end-of-year competitive team t-shirts and Divisionals gifts for those swimmers attending divisionals. Please review the attached document with swimmers' t-shirt sizes collected at registration. If your child has changed sizes, please let us know. SHHHH..... the SURPRISE Divisionals gift is a hoodie sweatshirt. If your child wears a different size hoodie than t-shirt, please also let us know what size t-shirt and what size hoodie you would like. If any sizes are not available, we will order the next size up. For instance, if Adult XS is not available, we will order an Adult Small. Please send responses to Kelley ([email protected]) in an e-mail (not text) by Sunday, June 17.

Intent to Swim for Divisionals and C&C is Due by June 17th!

The Intent Form is online this year. We need ALL FAMILIES to complete if attending or not attending Divisionals (July 6&7). We also need to know if your swimmers are available for Championships and Classics (July 14&15). You must swim in 2 dual meets to swim in Divisionals. You must swim in Divisionals to be eligible for C&C. The top 40 swimmers from all SAIL teams are chosen from each event to attend C&C. You must attend C&C if you have said you are available and you are chosen - there is a fine for unexcused scratches. You can find the intent form under the Meet & RSVP tab.

- Mark your calendars: June 19th 5:30-7:30 Chick-fil-A on Pelham Rd is hosting a Spirit Night for the Foxcroft Swim Team!

Meet Reminders

- Please write your swimmers' event numbers on their arm before dropping them off. This will really help the tent parents. You can find their event numbers on the Swimtopia app.

- Please remind your swimmers how important it is to stay in the tent so that our volunteers can locate them for their events. Avoid sitting elsewhere and especially with coaches. Also, please have them keep their area clean and their items in their bags. We need everyone to throw their trash away.

- Weather Delays: The meet will proceed in the rain, but will be postponed for thunder or lightning. Swimmers may be sent to cars to wait out a storm. All communication regarding delays will be through the Remind group text. We have been sending texts with information already. If you are not receiving them, please make sure to sign-up. Text the phrase @foxswims to the number 81010.
