Green Mountain Swim Team

I wanted to remind you of all the events happening for the Gators this coming week. 

• The entries are posted for the Ken Caryl Invitational meet.  All swimmers should review this to see if they are swimming in an event.  If you are signed up to swim, please verbally confirm with Jaimie that you will be there, so we can ensure your attendance.
• Tuesday night, June 23rd by 8pm is the deadline to sign-up for the Intrasquad meet.  Each swimmer is allowed to sign-up for two events.
• Wednesday night, June 24th we will have our Intrasquad meet @ 5:30pm with warm-ups at 5pm.  We will also be having a MANDATORY parent meeting to discuss GM Gators hosting the Foothills Swim Association League meet on July 18th-19th.
• Thursday night, June 25th will be the deadline to sign-up for the swim meets on Sunday (June 28th). Please sign up no later than 7pm.  On Sunday there will be two optional swim meets if your swimmer wishes to take part in them.  First, is the AAC Pentathlon meet in which the swimmer must have a B or better time in 3 of the 4 strokes.  Next, is the C/D meet @ Mt. Vernon.  This meet is for swimmers who currently have a C or D time in an event and are trying to better this time.  The sign ups for these meets are on the right hand side of the blog. 
• Friday, June 26th is the Ken Caryl Invitational for 13+ swimmers.  The warm-up and start times are posted under important dates.
• Saturday, June 27th is the Ken Caryl Invitational for 12&Unders.  The warm-up and age group start times are posted under important dates.

Here’s to a fun week!  Swim Fast!

Thank you parents for coming together and helping with the swim meet today.  It takes many people to make this event successful.  We appreciate your commitment to the swim team.  It was a long and hot day today,  so thank you for spending it with us.

Attention swimmer parents: 
We are still in need of volunteers for tomorrow meet.  Please see the sign-up genius link to fill in vacant spots.  Thank you in advance for your time and support in your child’s swimming.

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.
