Parent Updates:

Welcome to the Thad Terry Aquatics Club and a new beginning for the Shockwaves. This 2008 SAAA season will be a challenge for all of us and we need all of your help to make it run smoothly and to have fun at the same time. So far this season we are hosting a total of five (5) meets. This means that we will need timers, runners, starters and help at the snack bar. A sign up sheet will be posted prior to the home meets for volunteers. Please accept at least one position. The meets will not be able to start if we do not have enough volunteers to run them. The snack bar will be set up in order for us to raise money for the team. All proceeds will be deposited into the team’s account and used solely for the benefit of the team. We are asking all families to contribute a one time fee of $10.00 for families with one swimmer on the team, and $20.00 for families with more than one swimmer on the team. This will cover the entire season and be used to stock the snack bar. Additional donations of food or money are also welcome. Any questions or concerns regarding the snack bar should be sent to Kimberly Maisto, telephone number 270-3939, or email at kmaisto@msn.com.

We are looking forward to a great season at the NW YMCA, and our Shockwaves are going to hit the water and make us proud!
