Welcome Back BBQ & New Family Orientation
Please join us for the Welcome Back BBQ this Friday, March 28th.
New Family Orientation at 4:30pm
All new families are encouraged to attend the New Family Orientation prior to the BBQ at 4:30pm in the Arden Park Clubhouse. We will be going over most things a new family will need to know including practices, parent jobs, meets, and general swim team information. Returning families are also welcome to attend to get a refresh of all things AP Swim.
Welcome Back BBQ at 5:30pm
All families (new and returning) are encouraged to come meet other swim families and have some BBQ provided by our AP BBQ Crew (hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, water, and lemonade will be provided). Food will be served starting at 5:30 p.m. after a brief welcome from Board President, Michelle Vick, and Head Coach Sabrina. The BBQ will take place under the large Oak tree in the BBQ area at Arden Park.
As our team prepares for the BBQ, we would love to get a head count so we know how much food to prepare. Please take a moment to click here and fill out the survey by Thursday, March 27th.
