Green Mountain Swim Team

IT’S GATOR WEEK!! This is the last big push to qualify for League and State and practice gets a little exciting this week. Plan for your kids to be tired 🙂

Monday 7/8: Gator Week practices start.
Tuesday 7/9: upper division night practice 8:00 pm
Wednesday 7/10:  Instrasquad Meet – starts at 5:30 pm
Thursday 7/11:  upper division night practice 8:00 pm
Friday: End of Gator Week!
Saturday:  GMST vs. GEN at our pool
Sunday: Last Chance Meet at Stingrays
Wednesday 7/25: Team Banquet @ GMSC.

Practice Schedule:  If your athlete does not qualify for league or state, then this will be their last week of practice. 
– Practice for League Athletes:  Monday 7/15 – Friday 7/19
– Practice for State Athletes: Monday 7/22 – 7/26 (practices times may change. Stay tuned)

Last Chance Meet:  This meet is a last ditch effort to qualify for League or State.  You must have a B time or better or have a reasonable chance of getting close to a league time to sign up for this meet. There are no relays and the meet runs pretty fast.

Team Banquet:  The team banquet is in two weeks, but I wanted to make sure that it was on your calendar. This is a fun night to celebrate your athletes, hand out some awards and eat awesome food from all the families!

I received N update from AAC today. Probably best to leave tents at home (see below):
We’re looking forward to our meet tomorrow.  I wanted to give you a heads up about our grounds.  I understand from speaking with our pool management that our grounds are a bit of a mess with the foot traffic from the 4^th and the rain and hail that came in late yesterday.  As a result, the grass may not be available for the meet tomorrow.  If that happens we should have more than enough space for both teams within the confines of our pool deck and pavilions.

Hey all, to ensure that we can all enjoy the 4th to the fullest, upper division practice will start at 7:00 instead of 6:30. Try to spread the word to those who might not see this post, as I don’t want anyone to show up at 6:30 to find no one there. So enjoy your 4th knowing that you won’t have to wake up quite as early.

We are still in need of 9 timers for the meet on Saturday.  AAC a smaller than normal team this weekend because of the July 4th holiday and we will only be having 2 timing shifts.  Please sign up. We plan to be done with the meet around 11 am.  Thanks.
