Greetings from the Midway Gators swim team!
We are so excited about this season!!! Our head coaches will be Mikayla Rhyne, Eden Cooke, and Cooper Foster.
Keep in mind that the swim team is open to anyone – you do not have to be a member of Midway Pool to join. So please let anyone know who may be interested in joining our team (neighbors, church members, family members, co-workers, school friends, Facebook friends, etc) about us and forward this information to them.
Also remember this is NOT a learn to swim team.
Swimmers should be able to swim at least one length of the pool (25 yards) in some manner. Swimmers will be introduced to all four strokes: freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and breast.
We look forward to working with swimmers at all levels and meeting/working with parent volunteers.
The cost of joining the swim team will work the following way per family
Midway Pool Members:
$40.00 for one child
$25.00 for EACH additional child in family
Non Pool Member:$60.00 each child
Team costs cover 6+ weeks of team instruction, ribbons and trophies for the kids as well as covering team expenses (computer supplies, meet hosting costs, etc.) There are 4 local meets (on Tuesday afternoons and last into the late evenings) and the county meet (July 20 and 21). Ribbons are awarded for every meet, usually 1st through 6th place.
The practice schedule will include both mornings and evenings to offer flexibility for families. Practices will begin as soon as the pool gets clearance from the health department (around Memorial Day).
Our swim suits this year will be ordered through Swim Gear (147 South Stratford Road, WS 27104/ phone 336-766-3006) one-piece for ladies, jammer (or Speedo) for boys. If your suit from last year still fits, you are welcome to still wear it. Please make arrangements to go by the store during regular business hours or order online. In order to receive your ordered items by our first meet, it is VERY important (I cannot stress this enough) that you order the suit by the date specified by Swim Gear. If you do not, chances are you WILL NOT receive these items before the first meet.
If you have further questions, please contact Kristal Cooke at r 336-978-0701.

For our team to be successful, it takes countless hours from many parents!!! So, this team needs YOUR help! We hope you’ll join us. We would like for each family to sign up to help out at ONE meet this summer. This allows everyone to pitch in and keeps the same mom/dad not having to volunteer every single meet. Everyone wants to be able to sit by the side of the pool and watch their kid swim. We need timers (very easy job and has the best view of the meet), runners (takes timer sheets and DQ slips from stroke judges to computer personnel), clerk of course (seats kids in order before they swim), and stroke judges (must be trained).
Please check below at least one area you are willing to serve. As stated above, we need YOUR help for this to be a fun and successful summer for our team.
