WELCOME TO TSA! You have made an exciting decision. You have joined one of the top teams in the state offering a year-round competitive swim program. Many challenges and rewards await you. Whether you strive for national level swimmer status, or just want to swim with a good competitive team, we have a place for you. TSA is designed to accommodate anyone interested in a positive age group or senior competitive swim expierience, from the new age grouper (perhaps as young as five years old) through the highly motivated national level senior. Keep in mind that this is a year-round program, not a series of learn-to-swim lessons. All team workouts and meet schedules have been carefully planned by the coaching staff and are executed in a group setting.

Why swimming?

One way of preparing for the competition of life is by paticipating in competitive sports. There are few, if any, activities that can contribute so much to the well-rounded development of a person as swimming. How soon? How much? These are questions each parent has to face. Some choose a "sink or swim" attitude and do little to help, while others shield their children at every turn. Both are extremes and, like most extremes, are probably best avoided. Assuming that a parent wants to steer some sort of middle course, what role can competitive sports play in the emotional, social, and physical growth of an individual?

The general advantages of swimming include:

- It is healthy thing to do!
- It is a low injury rate sport.
- It is available to boys and girls af all ages.
- It encourages a more rounded social development.
- It promotes self-organization and discipline.
- In open meets, Juniors get a chance to swim in the same events as Seniors and Champions in a manner denied in many other sports.

We are excited to have you become a part of TSA, and we look forward to a great relationship with you and your swimmer(s). There are a few items that you need to be aware of. Please read through them carefully.

1. All TSA swimmers must be registered with USA swimming. This is a separate form. The fee for this is $46.00 per swimmer. Please return the fee and form to TSA! Swimmers transferring to TSA from another USA Swimming team must fill out a transfer form and pay a $5.00 transfer fee.

2. All TSA swimmers must submit a medical information sheet and return it with their TSA registration form.

3. Since TSA must pay its bills, we expect the members of TSA stay with the team all year long and pay team dues all year long. There will be times that swimmers have to take some time off, for example, those who participate in high school swimming. During those periods, swimmers will pay an inactive fee of $15.00 per month. Swimmers on the inactive status will continue to receive all the benefits of the team and be allowed back into their practice group once they return to the team (providing that they can stay up with their practice group).

4. TSA board meeting are held on the second Monday of each month. These meetings are open to all TSA swim families.
