Many of you have asked! And here it is! The Winslow Bay Wahoo's Swim Team is BACK!! Let's go Wahoo's. Also, please follow us on the Winslow Bay Wahoos FaceBook page. That is where you will find all the swim team updates

Winslow Bay Wahoos Electronic Registration platform for the 2021 swim season is open for Returning Members and will be Open tomorrow 4/19/21 for new members! We are pleased to offer electronic payment processing and registration again this year. The process is simple for both new and returning members. You'll get access to your own private account that will enable you to easily declare for swim meets, sign-up for jobs, see your children's swim times histories, maintain your own contact information and more.

As you can imagine, it takes every family to run an effective, efficient and fun swim season. We kindly ask that each family fulfills the commitment of signing up for TWO job slots throughout the season. Once you have signed up for a minimum of TWO job slots, your swimmer(s) will be marked "active" and will be able to participate in meets. Thank you for volunteering and making this season a success! Do not worry if you have never been a part of swimming, volunteer positions do not take swimming experience.

Covid Restrictions will be an adjustment we will need to accommodate during the meets. Securing your volunteer spot will grant you a place on the deck for the meet so get those slots filled in quickly as they become available. Each family participating this year will have a unique situation. While we can't meet everyones needs, we can strive to be considerate, helpful and patient through the process. Some of the Covid restrictions will require us to have less people on the pool deck, more space for the swimmers to set up outside the pool deck, and an overall awareness that we will all be figuring this out together. We will keep you up to date on best practices and policies, but this will be a year for us to be all hands on deck. If you feel that this maybe difficult or uncomfortable please consider sitting this year out and joining us next year.

We look forward to having you join the Winslow Bay Wahoos and are excited for another great season!
