Team Photo TODAY - Lake Swim Friday

Team Photo: July 18th (Monday) TODAY at 12:45 pm.  11 and over swimmers should come a bit early for the photo, and those who have team suits can wear them.  After we're done, we'll finish normal practice for the 11 and over swimmers.  

Lake Swim at Woodward Reservoir: July 22nd (Friday).  This is a distance swim open to swimmers 13 and older.  We will have normal practice from 12-1 for 10&unders, and we will leave at 1:00pm from the parking lot at the Rec for the lake swim. Swimmers MUST hand in a signed liability form before they can participate (no exceptions can be made).  There will be no regular 1-2pm practice on the 22nd.  

For the Lake Swim, we will need at least one or two adults in boats as boat support.  Is anyone interested and willing?  It's a lot of fun and a great paddle!  Please let us know ASAP. 

Rutland Sprints - Saturday, July 16

Next Saturday, July 16 is Rutland Sprints at the Northwood Pool. 

If your child is swimming, please volunteer for a spot. Many hands make light work and we can have many shifts of timers with more people. If you gave a volunteer sign up form to the office, I have manually entered your selection into the system.

Thank you to the people who consistently volunteer and do whatever is needed. You know who you are and the coaches and I appreciate it!

Here’s the link to sign up: http://signup.com/go/7W8Wn4

Also, I will not be able to attend the meet (Kelly will be there with her grandmother) so if anyone would like to be the point person to organize timer needs that would be great. I can email you the print out of who has signed up prior to Saturday. Thanks.

Why Having Current Swim Entries Is Important - Please Read.

A quick note about participation in meets: a few days before every meet, Maddie sends out a list of "pre entries," which is a list of swimmers who have indicated they will participate in the meet.  She does this because she needs an accurate list of swimmers in order to form relays, and entries are usually due a few days before the meet.  

This means that if your swimmer is on the list, we expect that he/she will be there and swim.  

On the other hand, if your swimmer is not on the list, it is very difficult to add him/her to the meet on the day of the meet.  

When the list of swimmers isn't accurate, relays have to change and get scratched, leaving other teammates without relays they were expecting.  

Please check the lists of pre-entries and let Maddie know if any changes are needed ASAP.  Some amount of change is unavoidable, but we're hoping to minimize it for future meets. 

So now....please take a moment and check the list for SATURDAY, JULY 9th (this weekend) and let Maddie know if any changes are needed.  (this is the one that was sign-up via Doodle poll)
