Believe it or not, we're already starting plans for summer 2010 swim team! Please find the registration form and informational flyer below. Some extra information not included on either of those attachments:
A new policy for 2010 is that if there is an age group age 13 or older that doesn't have enough team members to make a relay, we can fill the spot with a non-member. He/she will need to pay the regular swim team dues, but he/she does not need to be a full member of Winding Vista.
We have a few non-meet volunteer spots to fill before the season begins: doughnut picker-upper, treasurer, and spirit leader.
DeKalb County swim meet (for which EVERYONE is eligible) is July 1-2. Mark your calendars now! We'll help you work out transportation/logistics if you need since these are work days.
To keep our costs down and still maintain our high quality coaches, we are expanding our fundraising efforts. We are seeking community support through sponsorship opportunities with the swim team. We hope to do this by including logos on shirts in exchange for a donation, having local restaurants host spirit nights, and acquiring donations of food or cash for concessions for home meets, movie nights, the swim-a-thon, and our new "overnight camp at the pool" on July 6th. If you have a local business, a favorite vendor, or other contacts we should consider, please let us know. For questions or more information contact Connie Mathis at

As your families continue to enjoy the pool this summer, please keep the following in mind from our Pool Manager:
Please DO NOT bring glass items to the pool area. Although this seems like it should be common sense, members and guests continue to bring items made of glass on the pool deck. This causes an unnecessary risk to others, so please don't do it.
It has been noted that the bottom of the wading (kiddie) pool is discolored, but this is not because it is dirty. The pool as been acid washed twice this summer and the discoloration remained, so please know the pool is clean.
Although insects with stingers continue to be a nuisance around the pool area, please be aware that Northwest Exterminating has a once-a-month spray program to deal with them, and Winding Vista is getting this twice a month this summer. While this treatment has significantly reduced the number of insects from years past, it has not (nor will it) remove them completely.
The Winding Vista Swim Team has brought two fantastic activities together and is offering them to you at once, Internet shopping and supporting our young swimming stars. Working with the Internet company iGive.com, the Winding Vista Swim Team will receive a percentage (up to 26%) of the sale of items purchased through the iGive.com site by members. All you have to do is register, indicate you are supporting the Vipers and begin shopping at over 700 popular online stores (including eBay, Best Buy, Home Depot, Barnes & Noble and Lands' End).
