Team Pictures!

Team Picture Day is coming up next Tuesday (July 20th) at 8 AM. We will have normal practice, but we will end the 7 AM practice about 10 minutes early, and we ask the 8 AM swimmers to arrive 10 minutes early so we can be assembled and ready for picture-taking at 8 AM sharp.

Everyone will need a team shirt for the photo. If you haven't received a shirt and cap yet (we handed them out last Friday at the end of the potluck) come check with Sarah at practice to get one. We currently do NOT have sizes youth large, adult small, and adult medium, but we are ordering some of these. They won't be here in time for pictures, but we have plenty of other sizes that you can have until we have better sizes to exchange for.

Clayton Smith (one of our own Sellwood parents!) will be taking the team photos, as well as taking photos at dual meets and the City Meet. You can check out his website here to purchase photos.

This week- 7/5-7/10

Tomorrow (Monday, July 5th) there is no swim practice in honor of the 4th of July.

Friday we will have our first team potluck from 7-9 AM at Sellwood. Everyone can bring something to share (fruit is always a good option!). We will do some swimming and activities first and eat towards the end of the 2 hours. After eating, we will sign kids up for the meet and hand out team shirts and caps. Please register your children for swim team by Friday so they can receive a cap and shirt!

Saturday we have our first swim meet! It will be at Grant Pool, and we are competing against Grant, which is a large team, so let's all come out and show them our Sellwood best! Warmups begin at 8, so we ask swimmers to arrive around 7:45 so they can get situated and have time to do a full warm up. The meet begins at 9 AM.

If you still need to be on the email list, be sure to send an email to sellwoodswimteam@gmail.com!
