Photo Day - Thursday, June 22

The order form is now in the mailboxes. There is 1 form for each swimmer. The photographer requires 1 form for each photo he takes. So, if you have 3 children - you will need 3 forms. You can just write one check though for the total (just write the check number on all 3 forms.) He also accepts credit cards. If you would like a photo of all your children together, you will need to complete another form. If you know that you will not be having your child's photo taken, please put the blank order form in the first folder in front of the coach's folder in the top drawer. If you need another form, you can take one from this folder. Paul will also have extra forms available that day as well.

Individual photos take place during morning practices. Please arrive prior to your swim time practice (about 15 min or so) to get your pictures taken and not miss practice. He is able to do a make-up day for individual photos for anyone not able to be there Thursday, June 29

Team Photos will also be on Thursday, June 22 beginning at 4 PM prior to our first home swim meet. Please arrive by 4 PM. We will start with the 8 and unders and then continue with the remaining age groups.
