Parent Email - October 15

Welcome back to another successful week of Condors Swimming! Our swimmers did a great job this past weekend at the Suffern meet, we had many best times and several new team records. More specifically the Silver group had 92% life-time best swims and the Gold group was right there with them.  Let’s build upon this success as our season progresses!

We have had some confusion with our dryland schedule as the Clarkstown school district will no longer be allowing us to use their facilities outside the pool. We have secured gym space at the JCC and dryland times for each group are as follows:

Silver: Mon, Wed, Fri 5:30-5:50pm (FF pool)

Gold: Mon & Wed 7-7:30pm (FF pool - stands) , Sat 9-9:45am (FF pool - stands)

Senior: Tues & Thurs 4-5pm (JCC), Sat 9-10am (FF mat room)

Volunteer jobs and have been posted for the upcoming Condors meets and entries will be posted Monday. Note: If you registered late and missed the opt-out deadline, we have already sent in the entries along with a check to the host team and your child may not be able to swim. Just a reminder, anyone that wishes to opt-out after an opt-out deadline has passed will be able to be “scratched” from the meet however we pay the host team immediately following the opt-out deadline and cannot get refunded, therefore your account will be billed.

This Saturday the Gold & Senior groups will be participating in “Swim Across America”, please bring a $10 donation to practice and give it to Coach Jeff or Coach Craig. Even if you do not come on Saturday, we encourage you to still make the donation and it will be applied towards your family’s fundraising requirement.

If you haven’t noticed already, we’ve added a fundraising section to the website ( found by clicking here). Here you can find information on the various fundraisers the club will be conducting throughout the year.

Any parents interested in promoting the growth of our club, please print out the flyer (found by clicking here) and post it wherever possible. We need and appreciate everyone’s help in making our team the best it can be. Our staff is committed to becoming one of the best programs in the area, but to do so we need to continue to grow.  

The coaches will be traveling to Cherry Hill, New Jersey this weekend for USA Swimming’s Easter States Coaches’ Clinic. Please refer to the calendar for any and all practice changes. Practice will only be held for Gold and Senior Groups, all other groups have Friday and Saturday off. Reminder: Gold will practice Friday morning instead of Friday evening. Seniors will practice Friday morning, evening and Saturday morning.

The kids are really starting to look good in the water; we are going to have a great year with help and continued support of our parents. Enjoy the weekend off and be ready to swim hard again on Monday!

Sincerely,

Nick
