Frequently Asked Questions

What do I have to do before the season starts?

• Go up and over to the "ACTIVITIES" tab (or punch HERE) and scroll down to the "2019-2020 WIAA Sports-Required Co-Curricular Forms" section. It is all laid out there. Most importantly, get that physical lined up as soon as you can. You hate for that to be a mad rush in August.
• SLINGER DISTRICT RESIDENTS ONLY: To sign up, you will need to fill out all of the required forms for Slinger Athletics (athletic physical, code of conduct form, and concussion form) and turn them into the Slinger Athletic Office. Mike Daniels, the Slinger Athletic Director, will let us know that you're signed up. Then, you will need to pay the activity fee at the Hartford Co-Curricular office (ask for Kathy Buchanon). She will give you an orange card, which your daughter will give to us on the 1st day of practice. The orange card simply lets us know she's completed the sign up, and we need it before she can practice. View the FAQs for Slinger Athletes & Parents interested in the Hartford-Slinger Co-op Swim Team.
• Wear any competitive practice suit you wish to wear. Be prepared to purchase the team meet suit in August (unless last year's suit is still in good shape). 
• Purchase some competitive swimming goggles. I recommend clear, since you'll be indoors. You might want to just purchase two pair right away. They're easy to lose.
• Identifiable waterbottle. Absolutely. Hydration, people!
• We have a large focus on dryland core strength building. Always have shirt, shorts, and shoes available. 
• Find an old, crummy pair of sneakers to wear in the pool for kick-building sets and drills. 
• Periodically check the 2019 Girls Swimming Calendar PDF link above for any changes. This is maintained as the most up-to-date calendar.

Money-money-money-mo-ney (money)

Sorry, folks, I've been a swim parent for 10 years myself, and I know this is a tough week of spending money. Two other things to spend on:

1) Team suit. Everyone must have a team suit. As you will see, we're phasing in the Oriole AND the Owl. BUT....if last year's suit is still in good enough condition to last three more months, please feel free to save the 54 bucks and stick with the old suit. For those of you buying the suit, follow this link. You must do this by Monday night.

2) Apparel. Optional, but encouraged. It helps the program for people to see these items in our communities. Also, it's always good to see a dressed-up fan section. Again, you must have this ordered up by Monday night by following this link:
