Swim Team

THE METRO SWIM SHOP sells the team suits to the swimmers at a team discount. While the team suit is not mandatory, it is highly recommended because it makes us look more like a team plus these types of suits have less resistance in the water than most suits, so they help you swim faster. You can check out their website for prices and sizes.

The suit style is the same as last year.  The name of our team suit for the season is SOLAR BOOM (R/W/B)  by SPEEDO. 

They will be available for try on and purchase at our June 23, 2023, (first) practice at Freedom Lake from 3- 4:30pm in the Main Pavilion.

Please wear a plain cap (Red/White/Blue or combo thereof would be nice) Just like last year, at the meets, I don’t want the swimmers wearing other team bathing caps- if they wear their winter team caps, I want them inside out because I want us to be one team- not seen as a mix of lots of other teams. The Team does have a few red, white and blue caps available for sale. See Jill or Stacy at practices or home meets.

If you cannot make that practice, you can have someone else come purchase the suit(s) for you or you can contact Metro swim Shop to place an order.  The shop prefers that you call to place an order to guarantee that you get the correct team suit for Freedom Lake Swim Team and that you get the team discount 1-800-526-8788.

The team designed a Freedom Lake Rockers T-shirt. There is a limited quantity which will be available for purchase at practices see Jill Bubel, Stacy Olyha at practices or home meets.

The team designed a Freedom Lake Rockers Fleece Blanket/Towel. There is a limited quantity which will be available for purchase at practices see Jill Bubel, Stacy Olyha at practices or home meets.

Championships will be 8/4/23 at Freedom Lake this year with all 4 teams in the league participating. All families are asked to donate two (2)  items for our food sale at the meet. There will be a sign up on line at PerfectPotluck.Com, families will be notified by an email invitation when it is ready to go (around 7/20/23). Not all swimmers qualify for Champs but it would be nice if all team members come to support those swimming. Also there are many duties the day of Champs that both team members and adults can help with. Please plan to come and help out the team that day. As always, thank you for your support throughout the season. Our team prides of its volunteers! Thanks!
