Bannockburn –

If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the next Bannockburn Swim Team email – today’s your lucky day.

Sunday, May 19^th - Back to Pool Event @ Bannockburn from 9:30-11:30AM! 15 DAYS until our famous Back to Pool Event! Meet the coaches, purchase your team suit, grab some new swim team merchandise, complete the in-water assessment and if your swim team committee can get their act in gear - we’ll even have donuts available too!

Sign up HERE for the in-water assessment. Can’t make it on May 19^th? NO PROBLEM! We are a STRESS-FREE ZONE. Drop in at any practice during the first few weeks and ask a coach to conduct your swimmers in-water assessment. Purchase your team suit at the Sport Fair store in Arlington (just tell them you need the Bannockburn team suit), and you can purchase team merchandise at any home swim meet! We’ve got even the busiest families covered.

Friday, May 10^th – Very Last Call for Personalized Caps ($35/2 Caps) Did you miss the personalized silicone swim caps order form in registration? NO PROBLEM! Email [email protected] by May 10th and we’ll work it out. Remember, ALL swimmers get a latex swim cap included with registration. Silicone swim caps are printed with your desired name and not necessary or required.

MCSL Officials Clinic – Sometimes you just know you are destined for something great. You might find yourself disagreeing with an official’s decision, or just knowing innately when something is right or wrong. We are looking for you. We need your help. Bannockburn meets operate solely on volunteers and we are required to have MCSL certified stroke and turn officials, starters, and referees to pull off a meet. If you are feeling the vibes we encourage you to attend a MCSL Training Clinic. Questions? Please contact our very own official expert Chris Rogers ([email protected]).

Bannockburn Master’s swimming registration is FINALLY OPEN! Here’s the thing – it’s only open to the first 25 lucky swimmers! Practices will be held on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 (May 26th-July 28th). This program will be led by Andrew O'Brien, our very experienced Bannockburn Swim Team Coach. We welcome adult lap swimmers to enhance their swimming skills while training in a team-oriented setting, and increase their overall fitness through consistent, quality swim sessions.

**Please note - we tried really hard to find pool time for a second practice per week, but it didn’t’ work out – if you want two practices/week, please drop the pool board a note so they know how many people want MORE Master’s Swimming! **
