The McMinnville Swim Team is ready to take the plunge into 2006, with plans under way for the squad?s summer season.

MST will begin its 2006 swim season with swimmer sign-ups beginning Friday afternoon, March 24, from 5-7 p.m. and continuing on Saturday, March 25, from 9 a.m until noon.

The team is open to swimmers ages 6-18. Registration will be held at the McMinnville Civic Center, and both new and returning swimmers may sign up and order new swim suits at this time.

MST co-presidents Todd Willmore and Kaye Connor will direct the swim team this summer. The team competes in the eastern division of the Recreational Aquatics League (RACE), along with squads from Shelbyville, Winchester, Manchester, Athens, and Sewanee.

Tryout times for new swimmers will be announced soon, and interested swimmers and parents can check the swim team?s website at http://mcminnvilletenn.com for the summer swim schedule and practice times.
