This break is meant to recharge each team member’s mental and physical batteries. With this rest period about over, it’s time to do it all over again!!!

After placing 11^th in team points at the Spring (SCY) and 5^thin the Summer (LCM) Junior Olympics last season, the Elite Swim Club will need to continue to train hard & perform very well just to equal last year’s feats.

2ND ELITE TRYOUT TUESDAY, SEPT 7^th; SPACE EXTREMELY LIMITED;

TIMING VOLUNTEERS WELCOME:

Elite will conduct its 2nd tryout for the Winter 2010-11 Season on Tuesday, September 7th at 4:30 pm at Newark Academy.

Due to 87% of the last summer's team returning plus acceptance of 23 swimmers from Elite's 1st tryouts in July, Elite is virtually at capacity. Because Elite limits training groups in size (to approximately 38 swimmers) to guarantee the best possible environment for Elite swimmers to develop, there are very few roster spots open for this coming season
