Important Fundraiser and Swim Suit Information

Fund Raiser!

Remember to sell your tickets for the fundraiser at Anna's on June 9th from 5-8 pm.

Tickets are $10
Children 10 and under are $5
Children 3 and under are FREE

Please turn in your tickets as you sell them. This is VERY important so Anna's can plan for the number of people coming. Turn your tickets and money in to Michelle Burton or Melissa Guynn or Melissa Williams. These folks are present at nearly every practice. If you don't know them yet, I will be glad to introduce you to them

Swim Suits!

Orders for swim suits, shirts, sweatshirts, goggles, etc, will be taken June 9th through June 13th. Order forms with prices will be handed out at practice on June 5th and 6th for you to review over the weekend. Samples will be available so you can pick sizes and see examples. THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!!!

Thanks.

Its a beautiful day and the radar is clear. Swim practice will be held at its normal times: 7-8 for kids 9 and under and 8-9 for kids 10 and up.

Welcome to the 2008 Swim Season

Hello Team,

The Summer 2008 swim season is quickly approaching. We had a GREAT season last year, and I am certain we will build on this and have a GREATER season this year!

I have lots of informtion to give to you, so check back frequently for updates.

The most important information to share is that we will be having our Spring organizational meeting for new swimmers at 7:00 pm on Monday May 19th at the Senior Center (next to the pool). Any of you who wish to attend are welcomed to come, but this will be mainly for new folks to learn about the team and to have their questions answered. If you know anyone who is interested in swim this summer, please encourage them to attend.

The second piece of information to tell you is that summer practice will begin on Tuesday May 26th. This is the day after Memorial Day. Swimmers aged 9 and under will practice from 6-7 pm, and swimmers 10 and up will be from 7-8 pm. Once we get organized, we may make a few adjustments to the practice, but this will be the basic arrangement most days.

One more quick thing for now: our President (Melissa Guynn) and I met with the Town Pool management and we worked out our swim schedule for this summer. The pool staff has been very accommodating toward us and we have worked out a nice arrangement for practices that meets our needs but also meets the pools needs regarding lessons and other activities. I will hand out and post here a schedule of practice times and meet times soon (once they are finalized). For now, the meet dates are listed on the right so you can start to plan. (Note: Richlands will NOT have a team this year due to pool problems.)

Be sure to check back soon - I have lots more to tell you.
