Green Mountain Swim Team

Beginning this week we will have the swimmer folders out during practice.  The swimmer files are designed to get swim team related information to the swimmer.  The folders are arranged alphabetically by last name.  Examples of items in these folders are:  ribbons from meets, information hand-outs, paperwork and/or items from your swim buddy.  We encourage all swimmers to check their folder at least once a week and remove all the contents.

Here is the schedule for June 6th-June 11th

Starting this week we will be offering stroke clinics.  These clinics are designed to help a small group of swimmers work on a specific stroke to help them improve.  To allow as many swimmers to participate in these please sign-up for only 3 sessions (all must be different strokes).  These clinics will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9:45-10:15.  The link for the stroke clinic sign-up is listed below and also on the right hand side of the blog.

Please let us know if you have any questions about these.

We are excited to have our swim buddy families started.  Please remember these swimmers are there to help encourage and support each other.  If you haven’t already introduced yourself to your buddy, please do so quickly.  The buddies are listed below and there is also a link on the right hand side of the blog that will have this document.  Let’s show everyone what an awesome swim team the Gators are!

Hello swimmers,
    We are excited to have our first dual meet on Saturday.  We appreciate all the kids who have signed up to participate in events. On the right hand side of the blog there is a link to the “rough draft” entries.  We are asking the swimmers to verify the entries are correct.  Each swimmer is allowed to swim a maximum of 3 individual events.  Many swimmers only signed up for 2.  If you would like to swim another event or if the event is not correct please let Porter know by 10am tomorrow morning and we will make the changes.

All final submissions will be posted tomorrow along with relays.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all early Saturday morning.
(warm-ups begin as 6:30 and the meet starts at 7:00)

Have you seen the new Gator apparel?  We are excited to see the swimmers and families walking around in our new items.  If you didn’t get a chance to see the apparel we will have these items for sale again on Friday during practice.  We will accept cash, check or credit cards.  Go Gators!

Here are the tie-dye instructions if you didn’t pick them up:
Please wait 24 hours to wash. Leave the item in the bag until you are ready to wash. While the
shirt is still tied, it needs to be rinsed under cold running water. When you see very little dye
running off the item, start to gradually remove the rubber bands while still rinsing. Get as much
dye out as possible this way. Immediately after rinsing wash the item ( by itself ) with cold
water and soap in the washing machine. Once this item has been washed and dried you are
good to wear.

Thank you to all who came out for the parent meeting (or maybe the ice cream).  We enjoyed talking with the parents and swimmers.  Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.
