Dear New Swim Parent,

WELCOME TO OUR SWIM TEAM!!  We’re sure your child(ren) have been enjoying the swim team so far.  It is very satisfying to see their smiling faces.

We would like to take this time to make you familiar with team policies and other helpful information.  We are not a township team; we rent this pool.  We are a private, not-for-profit organization, with a board of directors (swim moms and dads) who volunteer their time in different capacities to keep this team afloat.  From time to time, we will need your help.  We have one fundraiser each year, September Splash, which is an open water swim in Sunset Lake.  This year we had 220 swimmers, swimming three different races:  ¼ mile, 1 mile and 2 miles. It was very successful, thanks to all of our parents and volunteers.

When dropping your child off for practice, please make sure they go right inside the doors.  When picking your child up from practice, we ask that you be on time.  We are mindful of the parking lot.  Our insurance does not cover parents on the pool deck, so we ask that if you are going to stay, please go in the Parent’s Room.  With the younger swimmers, we know that parents might need to go to the locker room to help after practice, but that usually doesn’t last too long before the little independent swimmer doesn’t want help anymore.  But it is certainly okay to help your child in the locker room, even if he or she doesn’t want it. 

We will try to get a fall, winter, and spring event together. This is usually a swim meet that is held at our pool that is less of a competitive event, but more of a way for the parents to see their child’s progress and to get the children ready for “real meets”.  The coaches will inform you when your child is ready for meets. Our coaching staff has been doing this for years. They are knowledgeable, dedicated, and love the sport.

Swimming is a great sport.  Besides the physical training, your child will learn many other lessons in life throughout their swim years.  They love the social part of swimming and that only gets better.  They will learn self discipline, to work hard and they will see the benefits (and so will you).  They encourage other swimmers and learn team work.

 If you are reading this, then you know about our e-mail system of communication.  We also use the bulletin board in the parent’s room to post information.  These two methods are our main source of communication to you.  Our website www.wwcswim.org has news, contact e-mails, by-laws and other pertinent information.  We also have a phone call system in place that we use when necessary.

If you have any questions, now or in the future, please ask any board member or coach.  We are always happy to help.  We all were new to this team once and know it can be overwhelming.

Again, “WELCOME ABOARD”.  Thank you for your time and dedication.

Sincerely,

 Wildwood Crest Dolphin Swim Team Board
