Team Pictures
Thanks to Paul McDonald for taking
on the task of our team pictures again this year. We appreciate all
that he does for this team and look forward to seeing him again at
our upcoming meets/events.
Personalized caps are
in!!
All personalized caps are in and
have been separated by family. Each age group coach will be able to
distribute them. The caps will be given to the oldest child in your
family. So, if you have multiple children on the team, they will go
to that group’s coach. If you have a problem with your order,
please call Kast-a-ways at 777-7967.
Registration Deadline
Approaching
The deadline to register your
swimmer(s) on our website for the Larry Lyons Meet is tomorrow!
This meet is Nov. 6-8th at our YMCA. Please take care of
this if you haven’t done so already. If you have any
questions about how to do this, please contact either your
individual coach or the Cathi in the swim team office (474-1400).
Kast-a-way will be in the dome both Sat. and Sun. of this meet. We
are looking into having childcare on both Sat. and Sun. from
Noon-4:00pm.
Interested in
“shadowing” for a job position?
If you are interested in shadowing
one of our announcers, meet directors, or timing system operators,
at the Oct. 24 th Virtual meet, please contact K-T
Overbey at overbey@fuse.net. We need individuals to fill
certain positions at the Larry Lyons meet in November. If you have
not fulfilled your 2 session meet worker requirement, this would be
a good opportunity to learn a new job and fill a spot still
available. If you do shadow, this will count as a worker
requirement. New
Parent Meeting Date
We have
29 new families this season! These families either started with us
this summer or are new this fall. We will be holding a new parent
meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 21st at 6:00pm in the big
room downstairs at the Y. This is a good meeting to attend to find
out more about the team, our philosophy, goals, and
structure,etc.
Virtual YMCA National Invitational
Our
first meet will be on Saturday, Oct. 24th at our YMCA.
General meet information has been posted to our website under this
event. More detailed information will be posted when it becomes
available to us. We are looking into having childcare provided from
9-2:00pm on this date. We will confirm everything
soon.
Swim-a-thon
Our
annual swim-a-thon is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 26th.
Please see our website (home page) for the time slots for each
practice group. Your group’s age group coordinator will be
contacting you as to food/drink items they need supplied for this
event. All forms associated with this event are also available
on our website. It is each family’s responsibility to
print these and turn them in on time along with any checks/cash.
New this year: we are not billing any businesses!! Therefore,
you will need to collect money upfront from businesses that give
you ads for the Larry Lyons Heat Sheet. If you do not get the money
at the beginning, it will be your responsibility to collect and
turn in this money by Oct. 26th. All heat sheet covers have been
sold!!
Interested in becoming an
official???
If you
have any interest in becoming an official, please contact Jon
Saxton for more details. His e-mail is: jsaxton@rendigs.com.
ABLY
pictures needed
I would
love to receive pictures of our swimmers (in groups of 4 or more)
for the website. I have been trying to rotate different photos of
the various practice groups on our home page. You can either put
them on a flash drive and put it in my file folder outside the swim
team office or e-mail me (csander@zoomtown.com) pictures as
attachments in jpeg format.
Special Olympics Volunteers Needed
Our
YMCA is hosting their annual Special Olympics Swim Meet on
Saturday, Nov. 14th in the afternoon. If you are
interested in helping out, please contact the swim team office at
474-1400. They are asking for volunteers who are 8th
grade and above. Last year several of our swimmers helped walk
athletes to the block, time, and hand out awards. This is a good
opportunity for attaining service hours for National Jr. Honor
Society and National Honor Society. The following swimmers
have volunteered to help at this event: Morgan Contino, Emma
Haynes, Molly Hazelbaker, Ju Ju Overbey, Kara Sander, Emma Siegel,
Cara Wethington and Elizabeth Williams.
