Thank You For Your Support

Sadly, there will be no swim season this year.

We want to thank everyone who volunteered, joined the Booster Club, provided team sponsorship, and otherwise prepared to support the team this year. Thanks too, to our coaches – Derek, Chris, Rachel, and Shealyn.

We are working on processing refunds to everyone. When initial news of the Coronavirus Pandemic was starting to come in to our area, we held off finalizing the spiritwear and team suit orders, so thankfully, we were able to cancel those without additional fees.

You can expect to see a refund of booster club dues (and senior banner/fathead orders) and any team suit/cap orders back to the credit card used for payment within the coming days. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund the convenience/service fees. The refunds should appear on your statement within 5-10 days. The spiritwear orders were also refunded separately.

We have the digital files used for the senior banners and fatheads. We will post them to the Shutterfly share site in the coming days. You may download the files from there. Please check the team email for the password to access the team share site.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. We realize there are many broken hearts right now among the SMS Raiders Girls Swim Team at the loss of their season. We’re sorry we aren’t able to celebrate our seniors. Best of luck, good health and safety to everyone.
