Our fundraising team is doing everything they can to keep your fees reasonable for next season, but we still need to be able...

Hi all!!! Fall Swim is quickly coming to an end, but our goal is to continue to raise money for the team during the off season! As previously noted, our expenses are increasing significantly next year as the city has to increase our splash fee for pool use for the upcoming swim season. We also want to be able to hire as many adult coaches as we can afford and upgrade some of our equipment. The more money we can raise in the off season, the less we will need...
