She graduated valedictorian from Salem High and was Captain of the Varsity Swim Team for two years. M.E. has also been a lifeguard and swim instructor at the Salem Y since 2005.

Rain Outs/Delays: Please call the pool or check the pool section of the EYC website for information on weather delays or cancellations.
Swim suits: We would like our children to be excited and proud to be a participant of the EYC Swim Team! Let's start with team suits in classic navy blue! The speedo suits may be purchased from the Marblehead Sports Store. You also have the option of embroidering the EYC burgee on the suit.
Free Swim Clinic: The North Shore Swim Club (NSSC) is a non-profit organization, that prides itself on giving back to the community. For the past 14 years, they have offered free stroke clinics/ start turns clinics/ under water video analysis to the local summer teams. We are pleased to be able to offer this to our Gator swim team. The clinic will take place during one of the practices at the beginning of the summer.
Pool Policy: As a reminder, your children are not allowed to be at the pool alone if they are under 11 years old, even during swim team practice. This rule was established as a safety measure for the children.
Fees: Cost for Gators is $50 per child. Cost for Jr. Gators and Crocs is $30 per child.
