2022 Season

Posted by Cindy Sabo on Apr 01 2022 at 10:05AM PDT in 2022 Season

We finally have some plans for the upcoming swim team this summer. There is a lot of information in this, but should answer all of your questions.
JUNIOR TEAM: We will be having a junior team this year. Your swimmer should be able to swim, this is not a substitute for swim lessons!! This team is just for the child who may not be able to swim the full 25 meters across the pool, however they should be able to swim at least ½ of that. Once your child can swim a full 25 meters, they can move mid-season to join the Makos swim team and participate in a swim meet.

*In order to receive the multiple children discount please register all of your children 14 and under in one transaction. If you have a 15-18 year old child, please see next bullet.

  • If you have a 15-18 year old child and you are registering a child under the age of 14 too, then please do the transaction separately as you should not be getting the discount on the child under the age of 14 as the discount will be with your 15-18 year old child.
  • If you have multiple children that are in the 15-18 year old age group then please do each of those transactions separately as well so you do not receive the multiple child discount, again the discount is already taken with the older children.
  • If you have questions regarding the discounts please reach out to cshier2@gmail.com

COACHES IN TRAINING (CIT)
We will be offering our coaches in training program this summer. Please reach out if your child is at least 12 years of age and interested in being a CIT this summer.

TEAM SUITS AND SWIM CAPS
Bathing suits can be purchased at Disco Sports, just tell them you are with Milestone Makos and they can point you in the right direction. If you wish to purchase the suit at a different vendor (amazon or swim outlet), this is the uniform.

Girls- (red/black/white) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUJ6G0Q/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A3VX72MEBB21JI&psc=1

Boys- (red/black/white) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DUJ9PXQ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A218NCVVSLQN1Q&psc=1

Swim caps- These have been ordered and I will have them available to purchase at the swim kick-off and they will be sold at concessions at every swim meet.

I know this is a lot of information but hopefully I have covered it all. I am very excited for the season and that it will be back to normal!!!! Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or need clarification on anything cshier2@gmail.com . I look forward to this season!!

Best,
Makos Board
