Dear Families,

I hope this email finds you all well. It has been almost 2 years since the St. Patrick Swim Team last gathered and we are so happy to say that there WILL be a shortened Staten Island Grammar School Swim League for the 2022 season.

- Our practices will be on Thursdays from 5-6pm at CSI. 

- This will be our practice day/time for all weeks of this season.
- There are only 3 teams competing in the league this season - so we will only have (2) competitive meets.

5/26

6/2

6/9

6/16

6/11/22 - vs. Petrides 1pm-2:30pm

Please see the attached flyer for details about practices & swim meets as well as important information regarding joining the team. **Additionally, please read through the end of this email for important information about the College of Staten Island Covid regulations. 

**Please be aware there is currently a CSI Campus COVID protocol that everyone will need to follow (see below):

CSI COVID REGULATIONS

Please note, the College of Staten Island has a Covid protocol in place for their campus that ALL families will need to follow in order to join the team. Please understand this is not a St. Patrick rule, nor is it a Staten Island Swim league rule, this is the College of Staten Island regulation based on all CUNY protocols that all visitors to the campus have to follow. We do not have any control over this requirement for entry onto the CSI campus. 

 
"All athletes, coaches, guests or fans age 5 and over need to have proof of vaccination OR a negative PCR test result within 6 days prior to admission. CSI is using an app called Cleared4 to monitor on which you would upload your vaccination information or your weekly negative Covid PCR test -- without the app guests will not be permitted to the enter campus." 

From what we understand, the campus security checks the app as you drive onto the campus. We understand this could be difficult for many, to have your child tested each week if they are not vaccinated, so you must be aware of and willing to follow these rules before registering for the team.

Our swim coaches are ready to return to the pool and are dedicated to making this a fun season for all who are able to join - we hope to see your children in the pool this year!

If you have any questions at all, please contact me privately at tarabkelly@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Tara Kelly
