Welcome to the Mustangs! If you are receiving this, we have processed your registration and are so happy you’re planning to swim with us this summer! If you're new to the team, here's our Annual Report from Summer 2025 including:

• Accomplishments 
• Parent survey results
• Financial contributions to the neighborhood

Now, with spring break in the rear view mirror, it's time to talk SUMMER 2026!

Assessments for New Swimmers

If your swimmer is new to the Mustangs, s/he must pass a swim assessment. Swimmers will need to swim freestyle and backstroke within our time requirements to make the team. Swimmers can come to one or both assessments and try as many times as they want during the assessment. Come anytime that is convenient for you during these windows:

Sunday, March 29 – 6:30-8pm @ c26 Hub pool at BluHawk

Sunday, April 26 – 6:30-8pm @ c26 Hub pool at BluHawk

Most swimmers need some practice/lessons before being able to meet these requirements. Please let us know if your swimmer needs some extra encouragement that evening. Our coaches and swimmers are on hand to help!

(If your swimmer has past club/high school times that would meet these requirements, they do not need to come to assessments.  Just send us the times!)

Swimsuit Fitting/Ordering – ALL TEAM MEMBERS

All swimmers will need to purchase a new team suit. Swimmers can be fitted and order team suits at one of the times below. All orders must be in by April 10.

If you already know your suit size, you can order directly here: https://elsmoreswim.com/collections/mills-farm-mustangs (Note: they do not have our swim caps on the site yet; if you need a cap, you may want to wait until they're loaded on the site to do everything in one order.)

Swimsuit Fittings THIS WEEK:

We are offering several of these this week so lines are not so long with limited changing space. These will be our only opportunities for suit try-on. Note: it helps if you take a peek at last year's suit size to give us a starting point!

Monday, March 23 -- 12-1pm or 7-8pm @ MF Clubhouse

Tuesday, March 24 -- 7-8pm @ MF Clubhouse

Wednesday, March 25 -- 7-8pm @ MF Clubhouse

Sunday, March 29 – 6:30-8pm @ c26 Hub pool at BluHawk

Practice Schedule

Practice begins Tuesday, May 26 and concludes Tuesday, July 7.

*FLEX is an open practice time for all ages (except Ponies), designed to be an alternative when you have another commitment during your regular practice time. (i.e., camp, sports practice). It is also a good time to come work on something specific (dives, turns, stroke technique) in a smaller group setting. If you have something specific you want to work on, tell coaches when you arrive! FLEX may start a little later than 7 as coaches need help getting lane lines in first. 

Ponies 1 and Ponies 2 are the exact same practice, just different time options. Ponies do not have to attend practice every day, most come 3-4x per week.

There is no FLEX on Thursday mornings as Wednesday night meets can run late!

Meets always begin at 5:30pm, with swimmers arriving between 4:15-4:45 (depending on the meet).

Volunteer Sign-Up

Parent volunteer shifts open for sign up on May 12 on our website. Each family must earn 6 volunteer “points” at our swim meets – some shifts are worth one point, some are worth two – based on how long the job takes. You will sign up for all your points on May 12.

We do have an Early Volunteer Sign-Up live on our website if you want to complete some of your points outside of the traditional jobs at a swim meet.

Phew! If you made it this far, high five! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
