You are now able to order T- shirts, long sleeve T's, sweat shirts and sweat pants in a variety of colors. All apparel features the FISH logo and it is a fantastic way to show team spirit. We will be taking your orders until Wednesday, December 10th and should have your merchandise in by December 20th, in time for the holidays. A "Spirit apparel folder" will be provided in the folder box for your convenience; simply fill out the order form and attach a check to the order, and we will take care of the rest. Can't wait to see a colorful school of FISH around the pool.
