All Thornhill children between the ages of 4 and 18, regardless of ability or experience, are strongly encouraged to participate in the FUN of swim team. Each team member is expected to make new friends, work on their swimming skills, and most importantly, learn the unity that comes from a team experience . . . while simply having a BLAST!!!
Registration - Swim Team
In the early Spring, the Tornados hold a registration of Team members in preparation for the upcoming season. This is designed to complete the GCSL paperwork, identify the team participants, order the Team Swim Suits, identify our parents and their associated Tornados work skills, such as Timer, Runner, Concessionaire, ... It is the first gathering of the season, and we get organized, children and parents!
Remember to bring your Registration form, your calendar, your checkbook, and your swimmer!

Team Swim Suits
The Tornados changed our Team colors to green on black in 2009. The Mecklenburg Aquatic Club is providing a Team Swim Suit ordering service for us this year. They will be here on March 27th from 1:00 PM - 3:00PM at the Thornhill pavilion. If parents miss that date and time, they will have to go to the MAC swim store on the Charlotte Latin campus off Providence Road to order their Team Swim Suits and Caps.
A team swim suit is required, with the costs: Girls - $50; Boys - $30. The Team has its own Swim Cap, which may be ordered with the Team swim suits. The cost will be $4.00 per Swim Cap. We are using the same suit that was used last season, so if you have last year's suit and it still fits, you are not required to purchase a new suit.
And another Tornado is ready!!
Late Registration
After our April 17th session, late registrations may be made by contacting our League Rep directly, Scott MacDonald, 704-302-4318, e-mail.
Any registration that occurs after April 24th is subject to a late registration fee of $25.00. In addition, there are usually additional fees in obtaining the Team Swim Suits directly from the manufacturer, which will be the responsibility of the parents. Each parent is encouraged to register on the first day, March 27th, when the Team Swim Suits may be ordered at the pavilion.
