Are you Ready for Swim Team 2009????
Hello Giles Jets,
Are you ready for Swim 2009? This will be an exciting summer, to say the very LEAST! We are hosting the Association Meet at our pool on July 25th. This will be a great opportunity to win it all! Our Pool, Our Meet, Our Trophy!
We will hold our annual Parents Meeting on Monday, May 18th at 6 pm at the Giles Senior Center beside the Town Pool. This meeting is for everyone - but we encourage new swimmers and parents to attend for information. If you know anyone interested in swim team, please invite them to attend.
Some highlights:
We are planning to start practice on Tuesday May 26th (the Tuesday after Memorial Day). Our practice times will be 9 years old and under, 7-8 pm, and 10 years old and up, 8-9 pm.
Our first meet is June 23 at Tazewell. We will have a Mock Meet on June 18th at our pool to give new parents and swimmers a chance to see how a meet is set up and run. It will be very short and a great warm up for our meet season.
We are in the process of buying new starting blocks for the season. These are very expensive and we will need a lot of help with our fundraising this year to cover this cost and all the many other costs associated with swim. Please plan to participate - we can't function without everyone's help.
Parents: I will need your help more than ever this year. My job has changed substantially over the past year and my availablity is way down this summer. I need a number of parents who are willing to help. I would like to ask if any of you can make a commitment to run practices for me from time to time - esp during the early weeks of practice. I will still plan the meets and organize the swimmers, but I would be glad to help one or two of you learn this job, in hopes that you might serve as meet planners. I especially need parents and swimmers to commit to helping set up and take down equipment before and after swim practices. All of this is easy if we all help - and its fun to support the swimmers and the team.
I hope to see you on May 18th at 6 for the parents meeting. I will definitely see you on May 26th!
LET'S GO JETS!
