May 14th
***From the Booster Club***
From the Coaches
- Attached is a wonderful set of instructions created by Jenks for summer swim registration - this breaks down all the prices and what group they need to register for! It also has a practice schedule!!!
- We can start taking physicals now for next school year. All physicals from this year are no good after July 1st. If they don’t have a new physical by the end of dead period, THEY WILL NOT BE WORKING OUT. DISTRICT IS CHECKING THIS YEAR. This does not apply to those doing Jenks but parents need to start planning now.
- In addition: Dr. Shavonda Pannell has agreed and added 2 more Wednesdays to do physicals at Carver on May 17th and 24th. They will still be from 4-8pm and the same link can still be used for the added dates. Please pass this along to your teams. Reminder physicals are $20.

- The booster club needs YOU for next year! We are currently in the process of filling the many volunteer opportunities, particularly some chair positions:
- Spirit Wear - IMMEDIATE NEED Works with Senior swimmers, Booster Board, and BTW Swim Coaches to coordinate the design selection for spirit wear. Works with vendor to get pricing, mock-ups, create order form, etc. We are hoping to begin spirit wear sales in late July/early August.
- HyTek Computer System - We will need freshman and sophomore parents to learn this system this fall. We cannot run our home meets without volunteers and our current expert will be a senior parent in the fall.
- Hospitality - Coordinate meals for coaches and officials at home meets
- Senior Night Coordinator - Looking for an incoming senior parent
- Banquet Coordinator - The junior class puts on this event so we'll need a junior parent in this role
- If you are interested in serving in any of these capacities, please email Sharon at [email protected]
- Watch your emails for a full list of 2023-2024 volunteer opportunities in the next week. For more on some of the volunteer roles, visit the swim website here
- This year's final team activity is the float trip on Monday, June 19th. The Float trip has been set up under events on Swimtopia.
- Swimmers need to RSVP and interested parents can sign up to chaperone.
- Swimmers are not allowed to drive because it is a team activity so we need parent chaperones/drivers to make this event happen
- Cost is $25 - can be paid via venmo, check or square https://btw-swim-booster-club-inc.square.site/ (paying this way includes a $1 transaction processing fee)
- Deadline to sign up is June 12
- Thank you to everyone who ate at Whataburger last month and for sharing the event. The swim booster club will be receiving $428 as a result! All funds are used to enhance the swim program through activities, equipment, pool improvements and more.
