Priority Registration Cut-off approaching. Ring My Bell this Summer!


A friendly reminder that priority registration cut-off for returning swimmers is this coming Friday, March 10th. Registration can be done at Maidu this year. Thank you City of Roseville.

All five of our coaches from last year have confirmed that they will be returning this summer. Excellent!!

If you haven't had a chance to listen to podcast #6 yet, an interview with Head Coach Megan Henry, please do. Megan and our entire coaching staff ROCKS!! Encountering problems listening to our podcasts? Let us know and see if we can assist. A broadband internet connection is required for some of our larger podcasts. Speakers or headphones for your computer are also recommended. Podcasts are being published onto our Sugarbear website in an effort to increase the communication and bring us closer together as a swim team. Please check it out and let us know what you think.

Our Sugarbear President, Carmen Morel, has put together Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and answers which are now on our website. Please take a look. Excellent job and very helpful.

The Brass Bell is coming Back in 2006! A brass bell on our pool deck during home meets will be allowed to be rung by a swimmer, or their designated swim buddy or parent, when they achieve a new personal best for a particular event. It is a simple, but fun way to celebrate and gain the attention of the swim team on an achievement which is rightfully to be shared. I have a feeling there is going to be a whole lot of bell ringing this summer!!

Click here to listen to a snippet of an appropriate song which will be playing on our pool deck this summer in celebration. Snippet is only 500k in size and 32 seconds in length.

If anyone is willing to create a simple stand for our brass bell, please contact one of our board members. Would be a simple and fun project to do before the season starts.

It won't be long before we will be back on the pool deck!!!
Ringing that bell!!!!
