2010 Old Farm Eagles Swim Team Info Welcome to the 2010 Old Farm Swim Team season. We are swimming in "L" division of the Montgomery County Swim League (MCSL). To register for the team, follow this link to find the unified registration form for the swim and dive teams. You can check out our suits at www.swimoutlet.com by searching on "clubswim piped splice" and looking for the navy/red color (Swimsuit item # 8057; Jammer item # 16069, Brief item # 16068). The fee this year is $100 per swimmer. However, for the first time ever, we are offering a bundled discount if you also join the dive team, in which case the fee to join both teams is $175 (versus the normal $200). It is important to remember that the level of commitment is expected to be equal for each team if you join both. The fee is payable by cash or check. Practice begins on Tuesday, June 1st. This year Griff Lindsay (301.468.1683) and Jill Ray (240-654-7646) are our swim team representatives to MCSL. Gail Daumit Minsk will be our A Meet Manager.We are looking for a new B meet representative. If you are interested please call or email Griff or Jill. Home swim meets require about 20 parent volunteers from each team. We encourage all our parents to volunteer at every meet and to take the MCSL-sponsored training for Referee, Stroke & Turn Official or Starter. For more information on MCSL training, please contact Griff Lindsay, Jill Ray, Gail Daumit or check the MCSL website for dates and locations. We look forward to the Old Farm Swim Club members continuing support of our team by volunteering at meets and cheering on the team. We are looking forward to a fun-filled season.
