It’s time to kick off Swim Season 2019! (Lots of information is listed below, so please read carefully.)

Registration is OPEN! Please register your swimmer no later than May 1. Visit http://www.kwprbarracudas.swimtopia.com/ and bookmark us! They have made some
updates to the Swimtopia mobile app to include real time meet results. Once you have registered your swimmer, get the app!

We will be staying with the Dolphin Ocean female suit and the navy male jammer as our team suits this year. These will be again purchased through Friends Unlimited
SwimShop. Prices remain the same at $24.76 for female suits and $20.79 for the male Jammer. They will be sending us a set of suits for sizing purposes. All suits ordered before 4/21 will receive free shipping and will arrive together by the first swim meet on
May 30. The link on the website is active.

We will have a Parent's Meeting on Saturday, April 6 from 11 – 12 at Planter’s Row Clubhouse to pass along information new this year. You may also drop in from
12 - 2 and we will answer any questions and will have swim suits to try on for
sizing purposes. Should you not be able to make it to Planter's Row, contact Sally to come by her house and try on suits.

This year's registration fee remains $110 and includes a T-shirt and swim cap (and very minimal fundraising.) If you choose NOT to pay online, payment is due
within 7 days of registration. Please make your check out to KWPR Swim Team. If you do not register your returning swimmer by the 1^st of May, there will be a $10.00 late fee per swimmer to cover expenses. ALL registration fees must be paid prior to the start of practice the first practice.
