  9. Parents- we need your help! PARENT VOLUNTEER GROUP It is important that the parents of the participants become involved in their child's swim team experience. Both programs have parent volunteer groups. These volunteers will be responsible for assisting at home swim meets as: judges, timers (best seat in the house), starter, clerk of the course, etc. In order for this team to be successful, a strong parent-volunteer group is needed!

  10. Introducing our new look We will have a new look this year! We have created a new image for our Summer Swim Team. With this change, the Hammerheads will have the opportunity to purchase team swimsuits, swim caps, and T-shrits.
