WINCHESTER HURRICANES Swim Team Registration

Make a splash this summer! Register for the Winchester Hurricanes Swim Team on Saturday April 14th at the Winchester Country Clubhouse at 9607 Rio Grande Road, from 10 am to noon. Who Can Join? You Can! The requirements to join the team are simple:

You must be between the ages of 4 and 18 and be able to swim one length of the pool unaided.

We especially need swimmers in the “6 & Under” age group. You can fill out the registration forms ahead and bring them with

you by visiting our website: http://winchesterhurricanes.com/Meets.aspx . You can also get information and registration forms at the Winchester Country Easter Event on March 24th at the Winchester Country Clubhouse. The cost is $95 each for the first 2 swimmers, $50 for the 3rd swimmer, and $40 for the 4th swimmer. A refundable volunteer deposit check is required at registration. Fees include a trophy, a team t-shirt, and the team party. Winchester Swim Team, Inc. serves over 200 neighborhood kids each year and is affiliated with the Northwest Aquatic League “NWAL”. A big thank you goes to Winchester Country and Willow Pointe for supporting our team with use of their facilities. This activity is not related to or sponsored by Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District.
