Parent's InfoHistoryThe Dalles Swim Team (TDST) was formed in 1955 by Ted Walker. Ted Walker came to The Dalles as a swimming instructor and started the Dalles Swim Team in 1966. He was instrumental in the construction of the Dalles Natatorium, the local swimming pool, and in 1993 the pool was renamed in his honor. Today, we call our annual summer swim meet the “Ted Walker Invitational”. TDST strives to carry on the spirit and tradition created by Ted Walker. The Dalles Swim Team is an Oregon Nonprofit Corporation (501(c)(3)). If a child is a registered swimmer, then the parents become members of this corporation. Copies of the by laws can be obtained upon written request to the TDST Board of Directors, PO Box 157, The Dalles, OR 97058. TDST Team Dues Summer 2010$115 for the first swimmer (in a family) In addition to team dues, each summer swimmer must pay $36 to register for the summer with Oregon Swimming (OSI). OSI is the Local Swimming Committee (LSC) of USA Swimming, which is the national governing body for competitive swimming. If your swimmer has been swimming with the winter team, they have already paid this fee. All paperwork must be completed and received and fees paid prior to swimmers entering the water. New swimmers will have their fees held until the swimmer evaluation is complete on the first day of practice. If they are not evaluated as "water safe and ready for swim team", all fees will be reimbursed. Included with their fees, swimmers will receive a team t-shirt, and new swimmers will receive a team swim cap. Returning swimmers can purchase new caps ($5 latex, $10 silicone) if needed. Swimmers will also need to purchase a pool pass from Northern Wasco Parks and Recreation. These can be purchased at the registration meetings, or from Parks and Rec at any time prior to the season beginning. If you already have a family pool pass, that will include swim team practices. |
