SWIM TEAM NEWS

HAMMERHEADS ARE BACK!!

New and returning families signup via Swimtopia: hamiltonmill.swimtopia.com The 2022 season will be composed of six Thursday swim meets starting Thursday May 26. Practice will begin on Monday May 9th, after school. The first and last meet will be a virtual swim meet that mimics last year’s season (times do count towards county). The middle four meets will consist of two HOME meets (where a visitor swim team comes to us) and two AWAY meets. We are also excited to be bringing back the Guppy Program for 2022! It will be capped at 16 swimmers. These swimmers must be at least 4 years old, potty trained, and able to swim independently half the length of the pool. The goal is by the end of the season they are swimming as part of the swim team. We are in dire need of Officials. We are offering $50 off the registration fee if you agree to take the 2 hour certification course and work at least three ‘official’ shifts during the season. Please email hmsthammerheads@gmail.com to get the code.

Be on the lookout for new information as planning for the 2022 season is finalized. Please let us know if you have any questions. We are excited for another GREAT swim season! 18 | HOMETOWN HERALD | April 2022
