PLEASE READ - Important Information before season begins!
Good morning, Flyers Families!
I hope you are all doing well and settling into the new school year! We are excited to welcome our returning swimmers back to the pool and officially get our 2026–2027 Forsyth Flyers season underway next week!
Before practice begins, there are a few very important items that every family must complete. Please read this email carefully so we can have a smooth and successful start to our season.
SWIM TEAM EVALUATIONS – REQUIRED FOR ALL SWIMMERS
ALL swimmers must be evaluated prior to returning to practice. Evaluations will be held:
Today & Tomorrow: 5:30–7:00 PM
Next Tuesday & Wednesday: 5:30–7:00 PM
No appointment is necessary—simply come during the evaluation window.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE for returning swimmers: SUNDAY, AUGUST 16
In order to participate in practice beginning Monday, your swimmer must have ALL of the following completed by the end of the day on Sunday, August 16:
• Have an ACTIVE YMCA membership
• Be registered for the 2026–2027 Forsyth Flyers through SwimTopia
• Have a current payment method on file
• Have the initial swim team payment completed
If these requirements are not completed by Sunday evening, your swimmer will NOT be able to participate in practice on Monday.
Please do not plan to come to the YMCA on Monday expecting to complete registration before practice. We need all registrations, memberships, and payments finalized ahead of time so our coaches and staff can focus on welcoming swimmers and getting practices started safely and efficiently.
