Be looking for the OMPA T-Shirt order form. We’ll be distributing the form via email and will post it on the website as well. We strongly request all swimmers and parents to purchase an OMPA T-shirt. Each year the coaches come up with a special design for the OMPA swim meet. The more gators that have a shirt, the more spirit we exhibit at the meet.

Gator Fundraiser:
The Karachi Family has opened up
their Round Table Pizza in Pleasant Hill to the Gator Family &
Friends for a night of fundraising on Monday, July 27th.
Present the coupon or mention MSC at the time of ordering and 15%
of your total bill will go to Miramonte Swim Club. There will
be extra certificates to pass out to your friends and family.
They will be in the front of the family mailboxes. Take some
to work, pass them out to your neighbors, whatever you can do to
help out your swim club. It’s such an easy way to earn money
for our swim club. Be sure to look in your family mailbox at
the pool for an orange certificate that gives all the
details.
Swim-a-thon:
This year's swim-a-thon will
run from 4-6:30 on Friday, July 31 in lieu of afternoon
practice. There will be swim-team practice in the morning. It
is an all-team event. Swimmers who meet their age group goal,
swim the most laps, raise the most money or get the most sponsors
will receive Loard’s Ice Cream gift certificates. We hope to
raise over $5000 to purchase a timing system as well as shade
structures for timers for the 2010 season. New this
year: Gators can also sponsor their coaches for as little as
a nickel a lap. We hope every Gator will participate and
raise a minimum of $25. Look for the green flyer in your family
folder. If you have any questions, please contact Heather Hamilton
at dukehamilton@yahoo.com.
