Greetings everyone,
Last week we had a terrific meet, thanks for all your help.
Remember tomorrow night after the stroke clinic we will be having ice cream (hope it doesn't thunder this week).
Wednesday the meet is HOME against Ferry Farm. Swimmers need to arrive at the pool at 4:30pm. People who are signed up for set up should arrive at 4:00pm. Even if you aren't signed up for set up, but arrive early - PLEASE HELP!
A few VERY IMPORTANT ITEMS:
1. Children should NOT just be dropped off for practice and meets. If you are unable to stay (or there are schedule conflicts) make arrangements for another parent to watch your child.
a. During practice the coaches are focused on the kids in the water, so before/after practice when the kids are on the deck parents need to watch them.
b. At swim meets we may not even know a child is there alone - this can be a very severe problem if a storm arises and the pool deck is cleared - we make sure the deck is clear, but we don't watch where every child goes, and if they are with an adult.
If you let us know you need help, we'll help. But for the safety of your children, please don't assume they'll be okay - make sure they will be.
2. During practice and meets children should NOT be in the baby pool or on the steps in the water. The only swimmers should be in the lanes under the supervision of the coaches.
3. The kids on the deck before/after their practice are the responsibilty of their parents or any parent on the deck. If you see children misbehaving on the deck, or in the water (when they shouldn't be), please correct them. This is for the safety of everyone.
4. Practice is practice! If your child is not going to practice they should not attend. If they are goofing off, they are distracting the coaches from helping those that want to improve their stroke.
5. There will be practice on Friday and Monday for anyone in town. Also, Monday evening clinic.
6. NEW in Spirit wear!! Visors - they are blue with "Lee's Hill Lightning" and are selling for $10.00. We do have some other Spirit items, so check them out at the meet.
7. It's time to put in your ad for the Finals Heat Sheet. I've attached the form with all the information on prices and sizes. For new families think sports program, this lists who is swimming what for the whole meet. Our team gets a percentage from the ad sales.
a. If you would like to place a personal or business ad use the attached form and get it to Michael O'Donoghue. They like to have them by July 6th, the very last day to get them to Michael is July 14th.
b. The team will be placing an full page ad with swimmer and family signatures. It is $1.00 per signature. It will be available this Wednesday at practice and the meet.
Important upcoming dates:
July 7th - last day to get the team suit
July 17th - Car wash at Foster's Grill from 10 - 3, we will have a sign up sheet closer to the day. Also, if you eat at Foster's that night we will get a percentage (we will get you the flyer for this as well)
