Update 10/31/08

A few updates...

Swim Suits: I expect to have sample swim suits on 11/10. I highly recommend that you try the suit on before ordering, as they are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. In general, they should be tight fitting, as they actually expand when they get wet. I have attached the order form and it will be available on the website. Team Suits are required for Championship Competition, and depending on the official, may be required for league meets. I have been informed by CYONS that they are strictly enforcing team "uniform" requirements in all sports. The level of enforcement will rest with the meet official.
We have ordered the same suits as last year, so if it still fits, no need to order a new one.
If you have an old team suit from prior years that still fits, that is fine also.

Swim Caps: I expect to have swim caps for sale by mid-November. Swim caps are $8.00. While not required, they are recommended, as the only caps, by rule, that can be worn are team caps or caps with no markings (including the name brand logo) visible.

Goggles: I expect to have goggles available for sale at the 11/10 practice. Goggles are the 'x-sight lite', which fits both youth and adult because of the smaller lens. Goggles are $15.00 each. Goggles are not required but I do recommend them. Not only to diminish the eye irritation from the chlorine, but also to prevent the swimmers who swim with eyes closed from crashing into the walls, ropes and other swimmers.

Jewelry: Jewelry of any kind is not permitted to be worn during league and championship competition. This is a CYONS rule, and includes ALL items that are worn - earrings, friendship bracelets, rope chains, etc. They should also not be worn during practice. The only exception is a medical alert bracelet, and these must be taped down.

Good luck on Monday and I will see you all on the 10th.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Kevin
