Good Afternoon Blue Marlin Families,

Welcome to the NSJ 2025 season. We have almost 200 swimmers registered so far. The coaches and managers hope your family is excited for another fun summer swim team experience. We look forward to seeing you all at the first practice of the summer on Wednesday, May 28. The weather this first week may test everyone’s commitment to the sport but it’s Maryland so hopefully it changes. We do practice in the rain but not thunder/lightening. Wednesday looks especially rainy and there is a high chance the pool may be closed. We will communicate any practice cancellations as quickly as possible via swimtopia so please be sure to allow notifications.

Our goal is to send weekly emails with information for practices, swim meets, pep rallies, and more. Practice, schedule, and other information can be found on the team’s website. If you have additional questions, find us at the pool or email us at [email protected].

New Parent’s Meeting

Please join us under the pavilion on Wednesday, May 28 at 6pm(rain date Friday 5/30) for an introduction with coaches and managers.

Swimsuits and Caps

Cy’s swimwear will be on site Thursday May 29 from 4:00 – 7:00pm with the team’s swimsuit. They often bring practice swimsuits and accessories for purchase as well.

If you ordered an NSJ swim cap during swim team registration, we have them in stock. Please find Amy or Tim on the Blue Marlin Grill side of the pool during practices to collect your cap(s). We will have additional caps available for purchase ($15 cash only).

NSJ Swag

This is the last week to order NSJ swag for the season. Sweatshirts sound awfully cozy this first week when the pool temp is rather cold! Order now.

Practice

We will cover this more during our parent meeting, but please stay off the pool deck during practice. This is for the safety of swimmers and coaches. Enjoy watching your kids improve from the relaxing lounge chairs!

Swimtopia is the app you will want to download to your phone. This is how we will send alerts for any weather related practice cancellations, etc.

Last but not least, please bring any outstanding registration payments to Amy at practice on Wednesday.

See you Wednesday!

Amy Caldwell and Tim Capelle
