2023 EHS Swim Team : August 2019

Team Party 2019

August 13th, 2019

A few important notes before we get to the great pics from tonight's Mustang kick-off party.

If you plan to NOT be part of Eagle Swim - please text, call or email the Coaches immediately. If you were at tryouts or the party, we have your name and shirt order on file and we are going to order shirts in the next day. If you decide not to swim, the rest of the team will end up paying for your shirt - so please let us know ASAP if you don't plan to swim. Thanks!

Coach Aaron will have a pass for each swimmer at practice tomorrow - this will allow non-YMCA members to get into the Y for practice.

The August 27th Relays Only Meet has been cancelled. This means it will be much easier getting to the 10 practice requirement before our first Meet.

The Varsity and JV teams will be announced on this Blog by 12pm Wednesday (possibly sooner). These teams are not finalized until after Wednesday night (we have 5-7 more swimmers trying out Wednesday evening.

If you are trying out Wednesday night - make sure you bring a completed Tryout Form from this blog (if you haven't turned it in already) and meet at the West YMCA at 6:30pm to do your 50 Free and 100 Free.

Varsity Practice is at 6:30pm Wednesday Night, JV is at 7:30pm - both last 1 hour.

Please pay your $290 directly to Eagle High School in person
