Green Mountain Swim Team

Your swimmer might have the option to swim in the Last Chance Meet on Sunday. This meet is only for swimmers that have “B” times and are trying one last time to qualify for League. Note: Swimmers are not allowed to use this meet to better their League or State times.

Please talk to your Coach on Saturday at our Golden meet if your swimmer wants to swim at the Last Chance Meet.

This upcoming week is spirit week! Here are the themes for each day:

• Mixed up Monday: bring anything but a water bottle to drink out of
• Two suit Tuesday: double (or triple??) up on the suits

• Twin and Triplett Thursday: match with a few of your friends

Hello Gator Families! We have a lot going on this week, including the possibility that this is the last week of swimming for many of the kids on our team. Please read through updates for more info….

Summary:
– Gator Week/Spirit Week Starts on Monday 7/7!
– Dual Meet vs. Golden on Saturday 7/12 @ Splash in Golden
– League practice starts 7/14
– Team Photos are ready from Picture & Pancake Day

Details:
– Gator Week/Spirit Week: Coach Ethan will send out a detailed email regarding all the spirit week themes for each day this week, so stay tuned! It is also Gator week which is our traditional team week for harder practices as the coaches train all the kids up to try to make League times. Your kids will probably tell you that the practices are harder this week and they wont’ be exaggerating 🙂 This all starts on Monday 7/7 (which happens to be Coach Neva’s birthday, so feel free to give her a big birthday high five!)
– GMST vs. Golden: This is one of our favorite meets of the summer since so many of the kids swim for the Marlins Head Coach, Coach Adams, at GMHS. We have a very fun rivalry with the Golden Marlins and love to swim against their very big and fun team. Warm ups are at 6:30am, start time at 7:00am. Please sing up here to volunteer: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-56899788-gmst#/
– League Practice: What does this mean for your swimmer? If your swimmer has made League times AND plans to swim at League, then they should be at practice starting Monday 7/14. If your swimmer did not make any League times, then their last week of practice will be this week (7/7-7/11). We still have the Team Banquet on Wed 7/23 and our Team Movie Night on Wed 7/30 to round out the season, so your kids aren’t done with us yet 🙂

FAMILIES ~ SENIORS ~ NEWBORNS ~ WEDDINGS ~ SPORTS

Coach Devon and I thought it would be fun to add one event to the meet tonight. We created relays out of people who have the same (or similar) first names. Each person in the relay will swim a 25 choice just for fun.

The entries are posted on the sidebar. It will show up as event 111, but it will be the first event. Some people are listed as “alternate.” This happens because of how the computer works. If you see the relay show up on your entries, you are entered. We talked to most people we entered today, but not everyone was at practice. If you don’t want to participate, let us know tonight.

Summary:
– WED 7/2: INTRASQUAD #3 + parent relay!
– FRI 7/4: No practice
– SAT 7/5: Bye Weekend – No Meet

Details:
– Intrasquad #3: This is our last team Intrasquad and we like to make it fun! We will have some mid-meet relays that the coaches are setting up and an end-of-meet relay between the coaches and the parents. If you would like to swim in the parent relay, pack your suit and talk to Danielle at the beginning of the meet and she will get you on a team. We need anywhere from 6-12 parents that are willing to swim a 50 freestyle. Our 2024 parent team are the reigning champions, so we are excited to see who brings the heat this year. Warm up @ 5pm / start @ 5:30pm. Please do now show up before 4:45 as the lifeguards need to “close” the pool for us. Thanks. Please sign up to volunteer: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090D4DABAC28A1FF2-57011726-intrasquad3#/
– July 4th: No practice. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
– July 5th: Bye Weekend. Get some rest and we’ll see you for Gator and Spirit Week starting Monday 7/7.
