Hello again SPAR families! Online registration for our 2022 swim team season is NOW OPEN! Please see our website www.sparswimteam.com to sign up today! The registration button will be on the right hand side of the screen. (Of if you're using your phone, scroll about halfway down the homepage). You will use your same email address as your user id again this year. If you have forgotten your password, you can click "Forgot your password" to reset it. A few reminders:

New this year, you will be prompted to set up a "meet account" once you have gotten through the registration process. We promise this will be easy!

Sparrows Point families only: Registration opens today and runs through May 20th. However, please sign up ASAP if you know your plans for the summer. You will not receive any further emails regarding updates and events after April 2nd when the email list will be updated for our new season.

Outside members:: Registration opens today and runs through midnight on April 2nd for you! After midnight on April 2nd, we will start offering any unclaimed pool memberships to new families on our waiting list. Once you complete your registration online, make sure to also print the outside membership form attached to this email or found on our home page. Please return that form and your $225 outside membership fee to Patty Yeary at 8 Avenel Ct. You can mail it to her or text her (864-567-1299) to coordinate dropping it off, but it must be received by April 2nd for your registration to be complete. Again this year, outside pool memberships will only be good for the duration of the swim team season.

All families: If you have a new swimmer this year, we will need a copy of their birth certificate. You can email a picture of it to me at [email protected] or drop it off to me at 2 Ventana Ct. If your swimmers are returning from last year, we have kept a digital copy of their birth certificate.

Don't forget about the team sponsorship opportunities I mentioned in my last email. You can get discounts on your registration costs based on the sponsorships you bring in AND we would really appreciate it! All the sponsorships we receive keep our costs as low as possible each season. The sponsorship form can be printed from our team's home page. If you bring in a sponsorship that reduces your registration cost, we will refund you that money once everything is received for the sponsorship.

We will use the same team suits again this year. Start checking now to see if your swimmer will need a new one. You can order the suit at www.augustaswimsupply.com. Go to the upper right hand corner to log in. Our userid is spar and our password is sailfish. Please note that if you choose to embroider our logo on the suit, they are not refundable. All orders received by midnight on April 25th will not be charged shipping and will be held and mailed all at once directly to me. Anything ordered after this date will require you to pay shipping, but the items will be shipped directly to you. As always, if you would rather your swimmer wear a solid black racing suit, that is fine as well.

When you register, you will have the option this year to purchase a SPAR swim cap. This is optional. Your swimmer can always wear a solid color swim cap without team logos for swim meets. Depending on online orders, we may still have some SPAR caps for sale this summer.

That's all for now! Please let me know if you have questions. Go get your swimmers registered now and you'll be one step closer to summer!

Thank you,

Amy
