Welcome City Swordfish Swimmers and Parents,

The City Swim team is Charlottesville’s only municipal swim club, dedicated to providing all City children and young people, ages 5 – 18, with an opportunity to enjoy the friendship and good healthy fun of a swim team. As a member of the Jefferson Swim League, our team participates in 6 weekly dual swim meets. Our home swim meets are held at Washington Park Pool during the summer. At the end of the dual season, swimmers will participate in the CHAMPS swim meet against the other 16 JSL teams. This swim meet is held at UVA Aquatic & Fitness Center located on Alderman Road.

The Jefferson Swim League (JSL) was originally formed in 1966 with five teams. The City Swordfish joined the JSL in 1993. In 2007, the City Swordfish swim team was awarded the Sportsmanship Award.

The secret to our success can be attributed to two major factors, one, the many parent volunteers who work tirelessly on the JSL Board, at the many swim meets during the summer, and behind the scenes throughout the year. Approximately 80 parent volunteers are required to ensure the meet can run smoothly. Volunteer positions are available for all skill and knowledge levels, please help out. Volunteers need to commit to the first half of the meet or the second half of the meet. Please contact the Meet Director to apply for required volunteer positions.

A second major factor is our dedicated coaching staff lead by our Head Coach, Andrea Ross. Andrea has devoted her summers to coaching our swim team since 1994, beginning with our Mighty Mites all the way up to our High School kids. Many of our swimming alumni have continued with our team as a part of our coaching staff. Please encourage our wonderful staff with words of support.

Thank you in advance for all the support and commitment to the City Swordfish swim team, I hope you have a fun filled summer.

Sincerely,

Linda Austin

Heat Sheet Book Ad Forms

City Swordfish Summer Swim Season 2015

Every year, we count on families to give tremendously of their time to keep this amazing swim program moving forward. In addition to time given, our team needs financial support. One easy way for families to help is through our annual heat sheet ad sale.

The Championship Meet is held at the end of every Jefferson Swim League (JSL) season. Every swimmer who participated in at least two dual meets during the regular season is eligible to compete in “Champs”.

This Heat Sheet Ad book will list the names of each swimmer with their heat and lane numbers (the heat sheets). It is published and for sale at the CHAMPS swim meet and viewed by over 2,000 swimmers and their families. In order to help pay for the cost of printing, the JSL offers ad space in the book. Teams are asked to solicit ads, with a significant portion of the money coming back to the teams. In past years, our team has received as much as $500 in a single season. This money is used for equipment items such as kickboards, fins, and starter equipment.

There are three ways you can help with this fundraising effort:

Buy an ad for your favorite swimmer or swimmers. It can be as simple as “Good Luck!” Our swimmers eagerly look through the book for ads that have their names on them.
Ask a company with whom you are familiar to place an ad in the book. Remind them of the number of people who will see their ad and of the support our team will receive.
Age group representative will collect heat sheet ads at swim team practices and swim meets; one parent will be designated to each age group.

Please see the form on the following page for pricing details. Checks should be made out to City Swordfish Swim Team. Thanks for your support in making this a fabulous summer swim season!
