AWAY MEET - SPRINGVILLE SWIM MEET

Springville Swim Meet

July 2, 2016

Hey All,

Just a couple reminders about the Swim Meet this Saturday at the Springville Pool.

Signups online need to be submitted by no later than 12 PM on Wednesday, June 29th.

Please be careful when signing up your child so you don't mess up other swimmers'

entries. Triple check your entries (including relays - on the second sheet found on the

bottom of the doc) to make sure they are right before we pull them :) Thank you!

Remember Swim Team Breakfast is Wednesday. See blog for more details.

SWIM TEAM BREAKFAST - JUNE 29TH

Hello Swimmers and Parents,

We will be holding a swim team breakfast on Wednesday, June 29th, as a mid-season party! Can you believe we already are half way through the summer swim season?

Breakfast will be served during each age groups normal practice time. So swimmers will still come at their normal practice time. 

If your child has any allergies to food, please let us know. We will be having pancakes, fruit, and drinks. 

For any parent who would be willing to work this party and bring food it will help fill your volunteer hours! :) We will have parents take shifts with the advanced group, intermediate group, and beginner group - so you don't have to be here for three hours (unless you want to). Please contact Cassi Pope directly if you'd like to help out >> Cassi.pope@gmail.com

Thanks!

Coach Kristi

EVENT LIST

Here is the order of events for all of our dual meets so you know when to expect your swimmer's event. Be aware that occasionally they will move all the relays to the end.

PAYSON SWIM MEET REMINDER

This is a reminder to please sign up for the Payson Swim Meet by WEDNESDAY 15TH AT 12 P.M. We will be pulling the entries and sending them to Payson so they can get the meet ready in time.

We will be highlighting the ones in a light blue that we have counted and put into the system for the entries.

If you enter your names in AFTER 12PM, please email me asap so I can try to slip them in before we send the entries to Payson.

Remember to bring your team suit, goggles, and team cap (if you have hair past your ears). Pack your bag the night before and double check to make sure you have everything. Maybe even bring an extra pair of goggles or an extra cap in case they break.

It's going to be great! Thanks so much!

JUNE 18TH - AWAY MEET - MEET SIGN UPS

Swim Team Parents, Our first swim meet is coming up! Saturday the 18th at Payson. Please be aware that swim meet sign ups are done online now through the blog >> http://lindonswimteam.blogspot.com/ and not in person. Click on the tab that says "Swim Meet Sign Ups" and follow the instructions. I pasted the instructions below as well. Please have these in by WEDNESDAY THE 15TH! If you do not, I will assume you are not coming to the meet. Let us know if you have any questions. Thank you, Your Coaches Please see the information below.

AWAY MEET AT PAYSON - JUNE 18

Pool address: 655 S Main St, Payson, UT 84651

WARM UP 7AM - START 7:30AM - BE EARLY FOR WARM UP AND TO CLAIM YOUR SPOT TO WATCH THE MEET!

INSTRUCTIONS

To sign up your child for a race, please put an X in the appropriate slot for the race they'd like to swim. Swimmers are only allowed to swim THREE INDIVIDUAL events and in ONE-TWO RELAYS. Relays are on the far right side of the spreadsheet. We will assign relay teams with those swimmers who want to participate. Please look for an email from us about the relays if you signed up. RELAYS ARE A COMMITMENT TO YOUR TEAM - ONLY SIGN UP IF YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN DO IT. Please do not sign up on the blacked out slots. These are off limits to swimmers in that age group. We will be pulling entries on Wednesday the 15th. If your child does not have an X, we will assume you are not coming to the meet.

PARENT VOLUNTEER - OFFICIALS MEETING

I don't remember who was asking about if they needed to attend the officials meeting if they did it last year or are a proficient swimmer... If that was you, please email me :)

If you are interested in learning more about swimming and the rules, come attend the stroke judge/officials meeting this Thursday from 6-9:30pm. at the Riverside Country Club.

This counts toward volunteer hours, allows us to run meets, and the times of our swimmers will count toward County Meets. Without these positions filled, any times at our home meets do not count.

Thank you!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ THROUGH TO END

Hello Swim Teamers!

I apologize if you have not been receiving the emails. I investigated it after practice, and I think I found the issue. Hopefully, everyone is receiving the emails now - if not, please email me asap so I can make sure you are on the list (I will be posting this email on the blog - I'd suggest subscribing to the blog if you haven't yet >>> http://lindonswimteam.blogspot.com/)

**If you are receiving this email and you are not on swim team this year, please let me know so I can take you off the list.

Just a few reminders

Practice Etiquette

We have discussed the following with the swimmers and would like you to reinforce this at home so we can have a fun and productive season.

-Listen to the coaches when they are talking and respect them

-Work hard so we can play hard on Fridays (1/2 day - game day)

-Be aware we have a three strike policy (Strikes will be given at coaches’ discretion)

1st offense – A warning will be given

2nd offense – Out of the pool

3rd offense – Still required to come to the next practice, but you will sit out and not be allowed to swim.

-Tardy policy: Late more than two days in a row - the swimmer will be asked to do a dry land set for warm up.

Fins

We will be having fin days on Wednesday and Friday. Please make sure your child has their fins on these days as we will be using them during practice. If you don't have fins, we have some in lost and found they could possibly borrow (if they fit!). Otherwise, please purchase your fins at Poco Loco or other swim stores. Poco Loco will give you the team discount.

Team Suit and Cap

If you do not have the team swim suit from last year, please make sure you purchase the team suit from Poco Loco. Go to the store in Provo on University Pkwy and tell them you are on Lindon Storm Swim Team and they will give you the discounted price. ***If you do have the suit from last year, it is your choice to either buy the new suit or stick with the old one if it is still in good condition.

Team caps can be purchased here at the pool. These must be worn at the swim meets so we know who our swimmers are!

Parent Volunteer

Just a reminder, parents are required to volunteer 4.5 hrs per child. I will be posting a Google doc of the positions we need later today. Please email me the position you would like and I will put your name on the Google doc. The yellow and red highlighted boxes are the positions we need filled. Red is the highest priority that we must have filled in order to run the meet. These positions are for the two home meets that we have. So if you can't make it to these meets to volunteer, I'm sure the other teams would love your help at the away meets (this would count toward hours).

The starters, meet refs, and stroke judges will need to attend the training meeting on June 9th at the Riverside Country Club from 6-9:30pm. (This will count toward hours too - so if you have a lot of kids on the team, I'd recommend one of these positions. You will learn a ton about swimming and will be able to help your child improve in so many ways!)

Thanks so much,

Your Coaches
