Modified Workout schedule first 3 days of practice (9-12 age group)

Due to conflicts with diving next week we have to modify our workout schedule from Monday through Wednesday (April 30 through May 2) . Practice will be as follows:

13-18: 4:30-5:45
8 & Under: 5:45-6:30
9-12: 7:15-8:15

After Wednesday, May 2nd, we go back to the normal practice schedule.

The City of Roseville plans to phone the families of the 9-12 age group to notify them, but if you have a neighbor or friend who is new to the team, please make an attempt to let them know.

Most of our new families have not yet registered for email notifications and so may not see this message.

New Style of Swim Suits for 2007!

The swim suit style for the Roseville Sugarbears is changing this year.

So, both returning Sugarbears and new swimmers will need to buy a swim suit this year.

In order for swimmers to have their swim suit before time trials and our team picture day, it is important that they order their new suit before 7pm May 9th.

Our website provides more detailed information on the style, sizes and prices.
Under the lower left side menu, look for the updated "Swim Suits" link under "Boutique".

Suits can now be purchased directly by visiting the nearby NorCal Swim Shop on Sunrise Blvd, near Douglas Blvd.

On deck orders at Oakmont will also be taken (rain or shine) Tuesday May 1st, 4:15-7:00pm and Wednesday May 9th, 4:15-7:00pm.

The Sugarbear boutique will be taking prepaid orders for team latex and silicone caps from May 1st-9th (on pool deck and at Parent Kickoff Meeting).
