Frequently Asked Questions
Team Suits
Team suits can be purchased at Swimville and Kenwood. Once you arrive, you can tell the staff our team name and they will direct you towards the correct suit and can screen print on site.
Practices
On most practice days, we will incorporate the use of dry-land workouts to free up space in the pool. We believe this will help with not being so crowded in each lane and provide opportunities to work more on core and cardio training. Please have your child/children (ages 9 & up) come prepared with running shoes, socks, shorts, and t-shirt each day. Also, we encourage them to bring a water bottle.
4th of July Parade
Each year our team walks in the Madeira 4th of July parade. Details for that day will be sent out for this event the week before the event. Coaches and parent volunteers walk with the swimmers.
Bring Your Parents to Practice
Yes, this was a big success last season. Our Annual Bring Your Parent to Practice Day will be held at the end of June each year. More details to follow, however, we want to make sure you block off your calendar to come along with your kid(s) to practice!
Big Buddies
We will be doing Big Buddies again this summer. Big Buddies is designed to pair up an older swimmer (11 & older) with a younger swimmer (10 & under). A Big Buddy may have 2-3 younger buddies. The design of this program is for Big Buddies to help their younger buddies during swim meets, cheering them on, helping to get to the blocks, and a way for swimmers who don’t normally meet during the season to develop a unique relationship. Buddies pair-ups will be announced and posted in early June.
Parent Relay
Each summer we hold an Annual Madeira Parent Relay. The parent relay will be conducted in begining of June each year¸ during a home meet.. The Parent Relay Draft will be held the weekend before at the pool. A separate sign-up sheet will be sent out soon for any parent that is interested in participating. The race will be conducted immediately before the start of the meet (roughly 6:30).
