Note: This is the last email 2021 swim team families will receive. Following this, we will only email families registered for the 2022 season.

Registration: Sunday was our last day to register in order to receive a t-shirt. However, it is not too late to swim. Let us know if you have any questions.

Big Fox Breakfast - May 7, 10:00 AM: We are excited to kick off the swim season again with our Big Kid Brunch! All of our older swimmers (current 6th - 12th grade) are invited to the Haff’s house (21 Red Fox Ct) to connect with other older swimmers, give feedback about the season, and find out who their new Fox Friends are. Parents of swimmers in 6th grade and up...we would love your help with two things!

1. Get your swimmers there!

2. Sign-up to send in items we need for breakfast using the job signup button on the Meets & RSVP Calendar of our website (the same way we sign up for jobs at meets). Please drop off items by 9:45 AM (ready to serve).

Feel free to reach out to Kristin Rollins with questions ([email protected]). Thanks for your help in making the kickoff for this swim season a great one!

Volunteer info: Remember, each family is expected to provide a volunteer for two halves of each meet in which their swimmer(s) participate.

• Certified officials (Stroke & Turn, Starter, Referee, Clerk of Course) must attend an in-person training between May 12 & May 23. Find the dates here. Officials must be certified (passed the test) by May 23.
• ALL OTHER PARENTS please read about the RUNNER and TIMER positions on the SAIL Educations Materials website (under Runner Clinic and Timer Clinic), and then take the Runner and Timer online certification test to be certified for those positions during the meets. If every parent certifies for these two positions, it helps our meets to run much smoother!
• The other volunteer positions we have at each meet are concessions (home meets), ribbons and tent parents. These positions do not require training or tests. You can sign up for these jobs, but if they are full, we will need you to take one of the other positions.
• Questions: Please contact Ashley Wooten at 864-360-8257 or [email protected] with any questions.

FOXwear: Don’t forget to order your FOXwear by May 7. The website is now accepting orders for two different colors of the 50th anniversary t-shirt. If you ordered before it let you select the color (or displayed the color name in your receipt), please contact Catherine Boetsch at 864-940-546.

Registered to pay by check? If you selected to pay by check during registration, please deliver your check to Liz Shafer (115 Hillsborough Drive) ASAP. We can not allow a swimmer to practice until payment is received.
