Hello Tuckahoe Families,

May is here, and you know what that means….it’s Tucka-Time!! We have been waiting for the board to make decisions on our lane distribution, so we appreciate your patience as we have been working through these details. It’s a busy time and we want to be sure your swimmers are prepared for the start of the season, so please read on for important information and reminders!

REGISTRATION: If your child plans to swim on the team this summer, they must be registered before they can practice. Due to the high numbers of registrations this season, we will be closing registration on May 22nd. You can access the registration page via https://tuckahoeswimteam.swimtopia.com and or through the tuckahoe.net website under the heading “Aquatics > summer swim team”.

Practice Sign Up:

While lane limitations are being rolled back, we still have a limit to the number of kids we can have in the water at one time. We have split the 8&under practice into two groups, and will have a sign up genius link available each week to sign your kids up for practice. The other age groups will also have a sign up genius each week.

Equipment:

Athletes need to have a proper swim suit (no trunks, shorts, bikinis, long sleeves, wet suits, or anything that adds extra drag to arms, hips, or legs), goggles, fins, and snorkel at practice every day. Athletes with longer hair will need to wear a swim cap - we will have caps available for anyone who needs one.

Tuckahoe Swim Team Open House: Saturday, May 8th, 12-3pm in the pavilion/grill area. Come by to meet and talk to our coaches, and team reps will be on hand to answer any questions. Sport Fair will be there with team suits for purchase, as well as other gear needed for the season.

Jolyn Trunk Show: Saturday May 8th, 11am-1:30pm in the Tuckahoe parking lot.

For those unfamiliar with Jolyn, they make high quality practice suits, but keep in mind that these suits are not the “team suit” —for Tuckahoe meets and team photos, the official team suits are the Arena suits sold by Sport Fair.

If you have general questions about the team, our website (tuckahoeswimteam.swimtopia.com) will provide all of the new information for this swim season, such as the practice and meet schedule, calendar of events, volunteer requirements and other team related issues. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE OFTEN! If you have questions that are not answered by the information on this site, please email the team reps at [email protected].

See you Saturday!

GO TUCKAHOE (clap)!

Camille and Colleen
