The Iowa City Eels Swim Club provides a competitive swimming program committed to instilling the spirit of success in its athletes through teaching the value of dedication, achievement of personal goals, and teamwork. The Iowa City Eels Swim Club strives to develop integrity, self-confidence, physical fitness, sportsmanship and a winning attitude in its athletes; and in so doing, provide skills that will benefit them for life.

Reminder: Start signing up for the Long Course Kick Off which is being held at Mercer. The deadline is Saturday, May 24th.

Swim-a-thon. Congratulations to all of the swimmers for completing last Saturday's swim-a-thon. Now is the time for swimmers to get all those last minutes pledges. The swim-a-thon pledge forms and money are due back to the ICE office by Saturday, May 3. Simply write down the number of laps you swam, complete the pledge information and place it in the lockbox at Mercer. All checks can be made out to Iowa City Eels. Receipts for each pledge will be placed in your child's folder. Finally, thanks to all of the parents who volunteered their time to count, laps and bring food. I don't think any swimmers came away from swim-a-thon hungry. Way to go!

Updated Team Records: We are in the process of updating all of the team records to the website and to a different format. Follow the Team Records link on the home page to see all of the ICE records.
