This fundraiser allows us to provide the best experience for your swimmer, plus fun activities like Donuts for Breakfast, an end of the season banquet and more.

Order your gear today to receive by mid June.
There are so many options this year, definitely something for everyone.
Remember, your registered swimmer gets a FREE team t-shirt, but as my kids told me, "Mom, we also need sweatshirts and sweatpants, and oh that tank would look great on you."
Last day to order is June 7th. Items will be handed out during practices.
