Team Picture Day Info - June 6th

Prior to start of Time Trials next Saturday June 6th, Spectrum Photography will be at the pool to take individual, siblings and our Sugarbear Team picture. Picture taking will start promptly at 7:30am and will be on a first come, first serve basis. All individual pictures and our team picture will be completed by 8:30am. We will start Time Trials promptly after final pictures have been taken.

Picture ordering packets will be in family envelopes by Monday June 2nd. Payment is due on picture day; CASH OR CHECKS ONLY. Pictures typically are ready within 10 days and will be placed in family envelopes. Any questions? Feel free to contact Carmen Morel @ 662-4300.

PS Be sure and considering order ‘swim buttons’ that you can wear on your shirt, hat, swim tote bag. Every year, we hear parents comment on how much they like this ‘bling’. It goes with anything. ;-)

Bears prepare for Twilight Meet up with Wolves

This Saturday, May 30th, is our Twilight Practice Meet with the Woodcreek Seawolves.

The meet is at the Roseville Aquatics Complex (RAC).

Checkins are at 1:30. The meet is expected to start at 3pm.

If it goes as late as 9pm, we will stop, no matter where we are in the meet.

Since no one wants to be left in the dark with Bears and Wolves, Oh My!

Please note that we have several Team Parent volunteer positions which still need to be filled.
Your help is needed and greatly appreciated.

Go Sugarbears!

Birth Certificates and Stimulus Package

Thank you to everyone who attended our Parent Kickoff Meeting last night.

We had an excellent turnout and we appreciate everyone taking the time to attend!
Thank you!

FYI. For those who have yet to prove their swimmer's age with a birth certificate, the certificate(s) can be brought to the Roseville Sports Center (1545 Pleasant Grove Blvd) or faxed to 774-5999 to the attention of Kate Rebello.

Providing a copy of a Birth Certificate is required this year.
So, even if you are a returning Sugarbear, this is required and needs to be done before our first dual meet (June 13th).

Another friendly reminder that NorCal swim shop will be on our pooldeck today and Friday for fittings and ordering of this year's new swim suit. NorCal will be on the pool deck from 5-6:30pm.
Important to order your swim suit before the end of this Friday in order to receive your suit in time for our Time Trials/Picture Day.

As mentioned last night, we currently have around 180 swimmers, with the hope of having a few more teens join our team. To help entice 15-18s to swim for the Sugarbears the City of Roseville has come up with the following stimulus package. If they are interested in swimming, starting June 1, the fees would be $135 resident and $145 non-resident.

Go Sugarbears!

Parent Kickoff Meeting this Tuesday, May 5th

A reminder that this Tuesday, May 5th at 6:30pm is our Parent Kick off Meeting.
Meeting is being held at Maidu Community Center.

This is an important meeting for both new and returning swim parents to attend.
With the Sugarbears changing to NorCal, there will be some very important information and changes shared. We will also have a little bit of a Cinco de Mayo celebration, including some virgin margaritas. Attendees will also receive their annual Sugarbear magnet calendar.

There will be no swim practice on Tuesday.

NorCal swim shop will be on our pool decks Wednesday, May 6th and Friday May 8th for swim suit fittings and ordering (5-6:30pm). Or, you can directly visit NorCal swim shop on Sunrise Blvd (near Douglas) to order your swim suit.

Ordering your swim suit before the end of this Friday, May 8th is important, to ensure your swimmer(s) receive their swim suit before our Time Trials/Picture Day.

Go Sugarbears!!!
