Aug. 5-6 Vermont State Championships Meet Info

Vermont State Championship meet info has been posted. Remember your swimmer must have been in at least THREE meets during the season in order to participate - if they qualify. That does include the District meet in Rutland. Also, there are bonus events this year for those who qualify for less than 4 events! All the info for this year's meet, including the time standards (qualifying) and a timeline of events can be found online.

Stroke & Turn Clinic Monday, July 10

Calling all parents!

We are in desperate need of replenishing our pool of Stroke and Turn officials. DO NOT BE AFRAID :)

Believe it or not, it’s easier than you might think, and you’ll have training and support along the way. We have to provide AT LEAST 2 officials at every meet, but more are needed so that each official gets some breaks too. You don’t have to be a former swimmer OR know the strokes. Trainers will teach you what you need to look for.

I’m going to go to the next clinic to be trained and am hoping that there might be at least three or four other parents who are up for joining me. Best part is the clinic is in Quechee.

Monday, July 10

5:30-7:30 p.m.

The Quechee Club, Quechee

If you can commit and attend with me, please let Georgia and me know asap so we can get a list to the trainer.

Thanks all, hope you’ll consider this.

Cheers,

Kim

Home Meet This Thursday, July 6 vs. Quechee & Killington

 Our next home meet is this Thursday. Let’s hope for a bit of better, warmer weather.

Also, we will be putting the bull pen back to its original spot for this meet. Thanks to everyone who gave the new idea a try but I think most are in agreement that the way we did it last year worked much better. Timer’s Table and Starter locations still TBD.

If you handed in a volunteer form, I’ve added you into the sign up already. Attached is a PDF to see if you’re signed up yet.

If not, please sign up for a volunteer spot at this link http://signup.com/go/qAzBmdA

This is a tri meet, so we’ll need all hands on deck again. Still looking for bull pen, timers and stroke and turn. I’m hoping we can split timing into 3 shifts if we have enough people.

Thanks everyone - happy 4th!
