Frequently Asked Questions

We really want to help parents with their questions.  If you are new to the sport of swimming, the questions are endless.  We will be adding questions and answers to this page for quite awhile so please keep checking back.  If you would like to email your questions, PLEASE do so!  I will put your question on this site (anonymously) because others will more than likely have the same question.  If you would prefer only a personal response, please indicate that in your email.  Thank you, and welcome to VAC.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do we tryout for VAC?

Contact Mike Hruska or Randy Trowbridge to tryout VAC for 1 week free!  The coaches will place your swimmer in the appropriate practice group after working with them in the pool.

 

Why must we do fundraisers?

VAC is a non-profit organization that strictly operates from tuition, donations, and of course, fundraisers.  Without fundraising we would have to raise our tuition fees to meet operating costs.  Each family is required to raise their share.  Also keep in mind, the VAC Board of Directors not only volunteer time from their busy lives to keep a great team active and running, but just like all members... they pay tuition AND are required to fundraise as well. 

Where do I purchase swimming supplies & apparel?

The Verona Aquatic Club orders their supplies from Simply Swimming.  Susie, the owner, has been a wonderful asset and is happy to fit your child in the correct suit, goggles, fins, or any other swimming apparel you need.  Purchasing a team suit is strongly recommended for all swimmers competing in meets for the VAC team.  VAC swim caps are mandatory during competition.  Caps are also available from Simply Swimming for a minimal fee.  Simply Swimming also provides a discount to VAC families. Please contact Marsha Olson if you would like order any "dry" apparel, meaning t-shirts, sweatshirts, ect.
