I found this blog I wrote from last year. Thought I’d post it here:
HS Swim Season 2015
This year we absolutely need to raise money, but we also need to raise awareness that, YES, we do have a swimming and diving team. We need to get the word out and make some noise so others will recognize what a great sport it is. One of the things I’ve put together for the kids this year was spirit wear. I’m not sure what they’ve really had in the past, but I know for as long as we’ve been here, I have never seen any spirit wear other than the normal football, basketball, soccer or track (and I think that’s just because Matthew has some) – the usual suspects. Anyway, so I made up a design and sent it into the printers. They in turn sent me back some AMAZING designs based on mine and we were off! I picked out several items that I thought the kids might enjoy including 2 different styles of sweatpants, hoodie, long sleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt and pajama pants. I also put an option for embroidered beanies – one for dive and one for swim. The pants were a huge hit with the kids. Instead of the usual mascot name down the leg, this time they say SWIMMING. There is also a paw print with our high school initials in it at the top. They really loved to show what sport they are participating in. I didn’t use this as a fundraiser, simply because I wanted to make it affordable for the kids. I have another idea in the works for spirit wear that will be an incredible fundraiser for the team but that is something totally different and I’ll share with yall at a later date, though!
