Green Mountain Swim Team

I wanted to give all the swimmer families (new and old) an idea of what our Pictures, Pancakes and Water World day will look like.  These fun activities are scheduled for Wednesday, June 29th.  Please note there is no regular morning swim  practice on this day.

Starting at 7:30am we will begin taking individual/buddy swimmer pictures.  There will be an order form in each swimmer folder next week and I will also post a link to this form on the blog.  Please have this form completed when you arrive.  At 8:00am we will begin our BIG team picture.  If you aren’t getting individual pictures taken we ask you arrive no later tha 8:00am so you can be included in the team picture.

While the pictures are being taken we will have people preparing Gatorcakes (green pancakes).  There will be a parent sign-up for parents to help cook and also bring some food.  Watch on the blog for this sign-up coming soon!

After the pictures have been taken and Gatorcakes have been eaten it is off to WaterWorld.  Please know this is not a required event.  Also know that there is no adult supervision so you will need to plan accordingly.  Below is a link and instructions on how to purchase discounted WaterWorld tickets.  Our team receives discounted tickets which can be purchased and printed online.

As promised, the news you have all been waiting for…..Swimmers of the Week for Week 1:

Female Swimmer of the Week:  Megan Cooper
Megan was selected this week because:
– positivity at the meet
– got a league time in her 200 free
– cried she was so happy about it (rewards of working hard)

Male Swimmer of the Week:  Alex Granquist
The coaches choose Alex because: 
– led the far lane every practice
– did an hour of dry land after practice each day
– stayed positive at the meet
– left the meet to go to a doctors apt and then came back to finish the meet

Keep up the great work Gators!!

Are you ready for another swim meet?  Tomorrow night is our 2nd Intrasquad (warm-ups begin at 5:00pm; meet starts at 5:30pm)

Great swims to all our swimmers!  Thank you to all the parent volunteers at Saturdays meet.  It was a long hot day and our parents stepped up to make it fun and successful for our kids.

Our summer swim season is off to a great start.  We are excited to host our fist dual meet this weekend.  A home meet means there are many volunteering opportunities.  If your child is swimming in the meet on Saturday we need you to volunteer your time and sign-up.  Here is the sign-up sheet for parent volunteers.  Please don’t be shy, we have all been a “newbie” at one time.  Thank you in advance for helping with your kids swim meet.

We have also post the “rough draft” to the Individual events.  Please double check this for accuracy and let the coaches know if there needs to be any changes.

We will see all your smiling faces at 6:00am on Saturday morning.
