REMINDERS

• At Merrimack we strive to create a community where every swimmer and family feels they belong. Please reach out to us at [email protected] if you have concerns.

FAQS

• WHAT DO WE NEED FOR PRACTICE?
  • Each swimmer should come with goggles, cap (hair tied back) and well-fitted swimsuit.
  • Here are some examples of goggle options on Amazon.
  • Sun shirts are great for playing in the pool, but slow down our swimmers! Choose a simple, one-piece (for girls) suit for swim practice. Here are a few examples.
• More questions? Please see the team handbook and volunteer requirements here. Everyone, that means you, needs to volunteer!

Looking forward to swim season!

Your Swim Reps,

Anna and Meaghan (B Reps)
