SEASON WRAP UP: T-SHIRTS & AWARDS

Hi there!

Just wanted to thank you all for such a great season. All our swimmers improved so much! We couldn't have made this season a success without all of our parent volunteers! 

We hope to see you all next season! Check the blog early next year for when tryouts will be held - They will most likely be early May. Just keep swimming!

Just a few last items of business...

2017 SWIM SEASON AND PARTY

Dear Swim Parents,

PARTY

Remember the party is tonight! Bring your suits, your family, and your game face as we will have the Wibit in and access to the Flow Rider after the Flow Tour is done. Don't forget to bring your food item(s) if you signed up. 7:30-9:30pm.

Some parents expressed interest in buying our awesome swim team shirts. We will have a sign up for those interested in purchasing one at the party. They will be $8.

Quick reminder: Swim Team Swimmers and parents have been invited to be in the Lindon Days Grand Parade! Information on the blog here >>  http://lindonswimteam.blogspot.com/2016/08/lindon-days-grand-parade.html

2017 SWIM  SEASON

In preparation of the 2017 Swim Season, there are a few things that would help improve our home swim meets efficiency. We are in need of a computer and a timing system that will reduce a lot of unnecessary busy work. This will cost the Lindon Swim Team about an estimated $3,700. Our first priority is to get a lap top (we could get a good one for $500-600) and then work up to raising enough money for the Dolphin Timing System. 

In order for this to happen, we are in need of donations. This could also be a great opportunity for those businesses looking for some tax write offs. We will have a table set up tomorrow at the party. If your unable to attend and would like to donate, or have any questions, please contact Tiffani Nukaya at 801-787-8636. You may make a cash, check, or card donation. Just be sure to specify what you want your donation to go to.

Thank you so much for your support and your donations.

Sincerely,

The Coaches

LINDON DAYS GRAND PARADE

Lindon Days Grand Parade

The Lindon Storm Swim Team has been invited to participate in the Lindon Days Grand Parade on August 6th! All swimmers should be ready and in place for the parade at 9 AM. The parade begins at 10 AM.  

Swimmers should wear their swim team shirts - if they so desire, they can wear their swim suits, caps, and goggles or any combination in between. We will be walking so plan accordingly. If a parent wants to volunteer their truck/trailer, feel free to do so. Also, we will have candy for swimmers to throw.

We would love help from parents to direct and help the swimmers get organized. This can count toward volunteer hours. Please let us know if you are willing to help out with this asap.

Directions for Staging: 

From I-15 areas north, exit 275 – north on Pleasant Grove Blvd. Then east on 700 North southbound and right on 200 North (2000 s Orem is same road) proceed east up to 725 East turning Right to the parking lot of Oak Canyon Middle School.

From 1-15 areas south, take exit 273 for 1600 No. Continue on West on 1600 N. Turn North on State Street and continue North to 200 South Lindon (2000 N Orem). Turn Right and continue to 725 E to Oak Canyon Jr. High parking lot.
