7/1/13 Update

Hello WST Families,

Tomorrow we will be heading over the mountain to swim against the Killington Sharks.  We’re asking that swimmers arrive at 4:15 in order to prepare for warm-ups.  Since this is an away meet, we will not be having any afternoon practice.  If you’re looking for directions they can be found on the SVSL website.

In addition, there will be no practice Thursday July 4 or Friday July 5.  We hope everybody enjoys the Fourth of July Weekend!

There are a few upcoming dates that families ought to keep on their radar.  Next week we have a home meet against Rutland on July 9, a home meet against UVAC on July 11, the pancake breakfast on July 12, and Rutland Sprints on July 13.  Swimmers are expected to arrive by 3:45 for all home meets, and just to remind parents: every swimmer who is attending the UVAC make-up meet must be signed up on the bulletin board or via email.  The Pancake Breakfast will most likely be during the 12-2 time slot on that Friday, and we’ll provide further information on that event later this week.  Right now there’s a sign up sheet on the bulletin board so we know how many attendees to expect (siblings and parents are welcome!).  This year it is a fundraiser for our team, so there will be a small, expected donation of $3-4 per attendee.

One final note: as we continue to swim and as swimmers continue to earn ribbons, those ribbons will be placed in the ribbon box outside the guard office!

Happy Swimming,

Maddie, Sam, and Nicola
