It’s Hammertime!!!!

Hey all you Hammerheads, It’s Hammertime!!!!

The swim season is fast approaching and we need everyone to signup and suit up!  
Swim team registration is now active on the Hammerhead Swim Team portal (no more Active.com for us, yea!)  In the upper right corner of the site you will see a big white box for Online Registration.  Returning families, make sure you don't miss the yellow flashing link, "Click here if you've registered for this team before".  This will populate all of your information from last year.  Huge time saver.  

Note: For split families with step-moms and dads, there is no easy way to set this up.  You can put which ever you like for Parent 1 and Parent 2.  In the additional email field you can add additional emails for other family members, separated by commas.  Just remember it is a share password for all emails assigned to a family.

We are having a swim suit sizing and Parent meeting this Sunday, March 29 in the clubhouse from 1:00p – 3:00p.  We will not have the vendor come to the pool this year, but we will have a sizing kit for the kids to try on suits.  We have the kit now and will have it for a while after the meeting if you cannot attend the meeting.  

Ordering will be done online on the Hammerhead Swim Shop.  We will collect suit orders on our team website until April 15.  After that you'll have to order directing from the vendor and pay shipping. 

For the Parents – we will have a meeting from 2:30 to 3:00pm. We will introduce ourselves and discuss what the upcoming season will entail as far as practices, meets, volunteer expectations and address any questions you may have.  We would love to have any parents that are considering having their children join the swim team attend the meeting to see what the swim team is about.

Many have asked, so we will be ordering personalized swim caps again.  You can order them on the swim shop.  We must order a minimum of 50 caps.  If we can get at least 15 personalized cap orders (remember 1 order is 2 caps), then the team will make up the minimum with blank caps.  Remember to use the company name field for your personalization, letters only, no spaces or numbers.

We look forward to seeing everyone and having a winning season!  The 2015 Parent Handbook will be ready for publishing once we get our schedule from ASA.  That should be in the coming weeks.  
Don't forget you must also complete ASA League registrations for each swimmer.

March 15th Workday

Hi Members,

Huntley Hills Swim and Tennis Club will have it's first volunteer work day Sunday, March 15th from 1PM - 4PM.

We hire professionals for the difficult tasks but there are some things we prefer to do the old fashion way.  In doing so friends can come together and get in the summer spirit.  Among other fun tasks, we will assemble our new shade cabanas, which we are very excited about and will be a great addition to the pool deck.  Most projects will be hands on, easy to accomplish, and can involve all family members.

Aside from a few enjoyable hours at the pool, you can earn your $25 work day fee for participating.  We hope to see many of you there!
