NEW TIME STANDARDS
Effective 4-1-09, there are new time standards. Click here to review the new standards at the Minnesota Swimming Web site. These new ttimes standards will be effective for the next 3 years. The time standards have gone back to the old Champ-A-B-C format. The short course time standards are for 25 yard pools. The long course time standards are for 50 meter pools. Achieve a time in either long or short course qualifies a swimmer into that level of meet no matter what kind of pool it is. (Ex. Champ time in yards in also a Champ time in meters).

MASTERS' MINUTIA
Please keep your membership payments up to date. STAR can only allow registered Masters to swim and will only register those that have paid. STAR’s Masters dues are $55.00 per month or if you pay for a 6 month period, the cost is $300.

STAR TEAM TRIP
STAR will be traveling to the Wisconsin Dells this summer for a team building activity. The team will depart from the Highland pool right after practice on June 12 and return home in the evening on June 13. More information will be available at Spring Registration on April 2.

STAR NEEDS OFFICIALS!
To host a swim meet a team must have at least two officials involved in its program.  STAR currently has two. STAR needs to get more parents who want something to do while their swimmers are at a meet.  It is the best seat in town and you get served refreshments and nutritious snacks.
Help make swimming be the great sport it is. Help STAR to maintain its great reputation as a Swim Team. Start the process of becoming an official now.
