SWIM TEAM
ACTIVITIES
The BOOSTER CHAIRPERSON plans activities
for the swimmers and swim team families over the course of the swim
season. These activities are not only fun, but build team spirit
and help families get acquainted. Everybody is encouraged to
participate as much as they can. See the Meet and Event Schedule on
the Web site for more information. Even though this year is planned
out, suggestions are always welcome for next year.
SIGNING UP FOR EVENTS - A binder will be located
near swimmer files, and at the booster table during home meets.
Please sign up at least one week prior to the trip or by the
indicated deadline. On most trips one parent volunteer will be
needed as a trip monitor to assist the booster chairperson, or
supervisor of the trip. Your assistance is appreciated. Watch for
emails and flyers (either posted or in swimmer’s files) for
specific trip details.
CITY MEET ACTIVITIES
During the month of August the excitement builds as CONCORD
CITY MEET approaches. Activities are designed to
build team spirit and everyone is encouraged to get involved. Past
examples include:
PASTA FEED - or should we say Carbo Loading at its
best! This is attended by the entire family and can be either a Pot
Luck Pasta Dinner or a pay as you eat event depending on the
availability of volunteer chefs.
SPIRIT DAY - A day set aside for special age group
spirit activities. Some ideas include: Team signs, T-shirts,
Sidewalk chalk, and Crafts.
LIP SYNC SHOW - This family event shows off the
talents of swimmers, coaches, and parents. Groups sign up and
choreograph routines to their favorite songs. Remember to start
practicing early.
PANCAKE BREAKFAST - Pool side breakfast with all
you can eat pancakes.
PEP RALLY - The Pep Rally occurs the night before
City Meet to get the swimmers pumped up for the big meet! All week
the swimmers have been making signs, learning cheers, and pumping
up for the high-spirited City Meet.
