Swim Team Registration
When registering multiple swimmers, use the prompt in the tip right side of the check-out page that says +Add Another Registration (written in blue). If you click on this prompt, you can register all of your swimmers without starting over each time. It will also ensure you get an automatic discount for multiple children. Make sure you check your child’s t-shirt size!
The link to register is: https://cui.active.com/sports-reg/login?a=c3a7f868-709a-4e24-81e8-f14edf4293c9
We will have SHARKS swim caps, string bags and water bottles for sale when the season starts!
Cost is $5 each!
Volunteer Sign ups
We are using sign up genius for volunteer committees again this year. Your swim team registration is not complete until BOTH parents have signed up for a volunteer committee. The volunteer committees are first come first serve. The link to sign up for volunteering is: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D49A9AC22AAF85-west2
Closer to the start of the season you will be sent a second sign up genius to volunteer for individual shifts based on the meet schedule.
Volunteer Commitment
Each parent will continue to be expected to volunteer for 3-4 shifts per season. We will continue to enforce a $50 fine for EACH scheduled volunteer shift that is not worked. If you do not work your scheduled shift (OR PREARRANGE A VOLUNTEER SUB) I will collect the $50 fine before your swimmer is allowed to swim in the next meet. If you arrange to hire a volunteer sub or switch shifts with another committee member YOU MUST LET THE SWIM TEAM VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR KNOW! A list of volunteer subs will be provided by your committee chair closer to the start of the season. Volunteer subs are paid (by you) $30 per shift.
Team Swimsuits
The team swimsuit will stay the same this year. Team swimsuit fittings will be at the West Hampton Clubhouse with Friends Unlimited Swim Shop on TUESDAY, APRIL 14TH from 6:00 pm–8:00 pm. You may also purchase the team swimsuit online at http://store.swimshop1.com/west-hampton-sharks-swim-team-c184.aspx.
A couple of notes:
1) There's free shipping if you order by the cutoff date of April 14th. All orders placed by the cutoff are shipped in one shipment to the team coordinator. To get free shipping to the team by the cutoff, enter the coupon "westhampton" during checkout and shipping will be taken off. There is a shipping charge for delivery to a home address.
2) On the team's main page, don't be alarmed by suits of the "wrong" color. It's just the main image displayed for the item. The correct team color is shown when you click on the suit to start the order. You can only order the suit in your team color:

Parent/Athlete Concussion Information Sheet *Required*
The Cobb Summer Swim League now requires that each swimmer has a Concussion Information Sheet signed and on file with their team in order to participate. Please print out, read, and sign a copy of the Concussion Info Sheet for each of your swimmers. If you have 3 swimmers, you will need 3 sheets. You may mail it to me at 370 Battle Woods Trail NW, Marietta, 30064, or give it to me the 1st day of practice. You must fill out a new form for each swimmer, each year.
