Let's Get Ready to Dive into a New Season - Welcome - 2022-2023
Hello All --
It doesn't seem possible that we are getting ready to start another season of swim. I can say with certainty, that I have missed being at the pool, especially our own pool. Yes, it is confirmed, The Aloha Swim Center will open on November 14th, the first day of Practice. Wooooohoooo. I cannot wait to come home.
Below is just a precursor to the start of the year. My goal is to send out a weekly news letter on the Sundays. The hope is to keep the communication open and clear. In this newsletter you will see the following:

Team Gear List and places to locate
As swimmers, we do need to have the following:
- At least one practice suit (we recommend 2-3) - Please note that for ladies it needs to be a one piece and for men it needs to be a jammer or a brief.
- At least one pair of goggles
- for ladies and men with longer hair a swim cap - I recommend getting several they do wear out
- One full water bottle at every practice
- towel
We recommend in order to keep cost down that you use https://www.swimoutlet.com/. - you can get suits at a really reasonable price if you look in the uglies or grab bag suits - these are the suits left over from previous season - they are not necessarily ugly. Also they have their owon brand of items that work great. Sporti suits, sporti goggles and sporti caps are just fine. If you would like any recommendations please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
You can also go to Dick's sporting goods for items as well.

All Parents are required to fill out the following form for our records:
Team Suits - Mandatory
All swimmers are required to get a team suit and a team cap. This year we have a new team design and will carry this design for at least four years. Fortunately, last year Beaverton High School generously purchased us team caps so that will help with cost. Please keep in mind that if your swimmer takes care of their suit, by hand washing and hanging dry, only wearing for competition, the suit can last the rest of their swim career.
The cost this year is $70 per swimmer. The swimmers will have the choice of the following:
Women - a thin or thick strap suit
Men - Jammer or Brief
Below are pictures of uncut suits. Please keep in mind that they are not as high cut as they show, etc... We will do the sizing on Friday the 18th of November and all suits must be paid for prior to that day. We will be adding the cost onto your students' account. Thank you in advance for taking care of this ASAP.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
