Green Mountain Swim Team

Please mark your calendars for our rescheduled Intrasquad meet.  We will have this meet next Wednesday, June 24th @ 5:30pm (warm-ups at 5pm).  We will not be participating in the AAC relays this day as we think the Intrasquad is more beneficial to our swimmers.  The forms to sign-up for events and parent volunteers is coming soon.
Thank you for your patience and we appreciate your cooperation in the canceling and rescheduling of our 2nd Intrasquad. 

Tomorrow we will have donuts after each practice session.  See you bright and early!

Next weekend is the Ken Caryl Invitational Meet (Friday night and all day Saturday).  This swim meet is for swimmers who have specific qualifying times for this meet.  We are asking EVERY swimmer to complete the following sign-ups to let the coaches know if you are available to swim on these dates.  This meet does not follow the regular order of events so the schedule looks like the following:
06.26.15 @ 12:30pm all 400 swimmers
06.26.15 @ 3:00pm all 13-18 swimmers
06.27.15 @ 6:00am all 11-12 and Boys 9-10
06.27.15 @ 12:00pm Girls 9-10 and all 8&Unders
If the swimmer has qualified for an event we are expecting them to swim in this event.  If a swimmer has qualified for more than 3 events the coaches will be determining what events will be swam.

All swimmers are asked to complete this form even if they don’t have qualifying times, because they maybe needed for a relay.  Also, just by stating you can participate does not guarantee you to swim. It is imperative that once entries are posted that they are reviewed to make sure all swimmers are aware and able to participate.

It is important that you or your swimmer completes this form by Friday night due to entries being completed Saturday.  If you have any questions and/or concerns please let me or a coach know.

Hi Gators! I received a call from the pool that a swimmer had an accident this afternoon, so the pool will be closed for 13 hours while it is being sanitized. Therefore, we will be unable to have our intrasquad meet tonight. I know that some swimmers were hoping to qualify for the Ken Caryl Invite tonight. If that’s the case, please sign up to swim those events this Saturday instead. We will be sending in Ken Caryl entries Saturday evening, so the times that you get on Saturday will count!! 

Just a reminder that tomorrow night is our 2nd Intrasquad meet.  Swimmers need to be to the pool by 5pm for warm-ups and the meet starts at 5:30pm.  If you haven’t already signed up for your two events please do so by tonight.
During the Intrasquad, the snack shack will be open selling all the snack bar food as well as cooking hamburgers and hotdogs.  GMSC also accepts credit cards so you can eat dinner at the pool without remembering your cash:)
See you tomorrow and let’s swim fast!

This message includes a few random notes on many topics.

• First, we want to thank everyone for being patient with us while we waited for Wheat Ridge to send us the meet file for the meet program.  We were aware that swimmers were swimming with NT (no time) for events they swam at that meet.  We appreciate you parents and swimmers being understanding and this issue has been resolved.
• Second, we are starting our strokes and starts/turns clinic this week.  These clinics will be held on Tuesday/Thursday from 9:45-10:15.  These clinics will focus on one stroke or starts/turns per session.  Please sign up for the clinic that will be most beneficial to your swimmer.  Each swimmer is allowed to sign-up for up to two clinics.  This will allow many swimmers to participate.  Please see the attached sign-up genius which lists what will be worked on for these dates.  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c054caba822a75-stroke
• Next, we are going to make all entries for dual meets (Saturday meets) due by 9:00pm on Wednesday nights.  So please add or change your reminder so that you will get a notification to make sure you signed up by Wednesday.  This allows us to get our entries in and relays organized.  
• Lastly, thank you to all the parents who have volunteered so far this season.  Our swim team is run completely on by volunteers and we couldn’t do it without all of you.  We appreciate you!
• Go Gators!  Swim Fast!
