Dear Blue Marlins Families,
Chestnut Forks Swim Club would like to invite new and returning swimmers to join another fun filled season of summer swim team, led again this year by our Head Coach, Bobby Lerch. At Chestnut Forks, the coaching philosophy is to focus on proper stroke technique, training swimmers to their potential, and educating athletes on racing strategies, all while incorporating fun and team pride.

SWIM TEAM REGISTRATION
We are using a google doc this year for swim team registration. You’ll need to complete this form for EACH swimmer registering for the team. Please make sure to sign up for your pool membership prior to signing up for the swim team. Both pool memberships and swim team registration will need to be paid for at the main clubhouse. All new members to Chestnut Forks will need to register in person at the club.
TEAM SUITS
The team suits we have used the past few years have been discontinued. If the suit still fits, you are allowed to continue utilizing that suit. We tried to work on getting another custom suit but were unable to secure that option prior to the start of our season.
We have created a team store on SwimOutlet.com. Below you’ll find the link to our team store with this year’s team suit! There are two options available. The printed suit is our official team suit. If the size you need is unavailable, then you can order the black suit from the team store.

SUIT SWAP
If your swimmer has grown out of their custom suit from last year, bring it to the open house! You’ll receive $20.00 off your pool membership for donating your suit back to the team. After an inventory is taken, we will offer parents the option to purchase a donated suit for $20.00. All suits will be inventoried, and we will let everyone know by April 24th if we have a donated suit for your swimmer. If we do not, you will need to order a new suit once we have all information confirmed. All donated suits must be in good condition.
**Volunteering:
Our swim team will continue using signupgenius.com to sign up for volunteer positions. It is essential to have one person from each swimmer’s family work at least ½ of EVERY meet. We will email you a few days prior to the meet for signups. More information about our volunteer policy will be communicated the first week of practice and during our Parent Meeting on June 4th.
SPIRITWEAR
We were able to get our spirit wear store up and running early this year! Spirit wear is different from the team shirt that’s included in your registration cost. Spirit wear is typically one of our biggest fundraisers of the season. We utilize this fundraising money towards popsicle night, end of season gifts for the coaches, or any other extra costs for the fun stuff we have during the season. Below is a link to our store. You can order now, and all items will be delivered at one time to the pool around June 7th. Let’s show our BLUE MARLIN spirit this year and help the team raise some money!
DEADLINE TO ORDER IS MAY 20!
