October 20 - Sunday, UCLA Short Course Meters Meet


For five years volunteers have coached to help develop our team.  The swim leadership* has met multiple times to discuss the direction we want to take our growing USMS Swim Team.  First on our wish list was to hire a full time coach to help sustain the team, provide consistency, and professionalism.
     Leadership has asked Brett Brown to be our coach for $300 monthly. Team K-man dues paid for our first month. Now it is time for all of us to work together and pay the coaching fee. The suggested fee per swimmer is $25 monthy. If this is a hardship, the suggestion is to pay what you can between $15-$25. Most importantly we do not want any swimmer to be left out, so pay what you can.
     It is very easy to make payments: Use your credit card to pay on PayPal.  If you have trouble, ask for help, but no cash payments.
Go to this Link to make a payment-thank you.
