Team Communication & Notification:
Our club believes in over communicating through our website and email system. The primary email you used to register your swimmers is automatically added to our system, but you can add additional email addresses at any time! This allows both parents and/or swimmers to receive the same communications. Simply add your information through this link.
Commit Swimming:
The Skimmers are using a new practice management software package that allows our coaching team to better plan, track and share workout progress. Each swimmer needs a unique email address, and will be given access to a “swimmer log in” portion of the program where swimmers can see their progress. When a new swimmer is added to the system, it automatically generates an email to that swimmer. We wanted to let everyone know so they weren’t surprised when they receive the email.
