Hello everyone! Please note that Team Unify will now replace this blog as well as the use of Gmail, and all Google Docs. This change will be effective beginning on Tuesday, July 3 , 2018. All communication, registration for meet events, and job sign ups will all be done through Team Unify. Every Lindon Storm family should have an account set up on Team Unify and should have received an invitation email to log in and create a username and password. If anyone has not received this email, please email lindonswimteam@gmail.com with the following information so that we can create an account for those missing families:
Parents first and last names
Parents mailing addresses
Parents email addresses
Parents cell numbers
Swimmers first and last names
Swimmers birth dates
Once families create a username and password, they can log in at any time to view all their account information, check calendar events, look up meet results, review meet events past and upcoming, register swimmers for meet events, signup for volunteer meet positions, receive team emails, and contact team coaches and administrators. In order to use Team Unify correctly and effectively, all families MUST have an account and update the swimmers' birth dates. We have entered all families information that we currently have, although we need birth dates to complete this process. For those families who were unable to register for today's meet using Team Unify, please email us as soon as possible with the information listed above. Our goal is to have everyone's information by Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
Team Unify improves communication, aids in time management, provides more parental control, and all information is wrapped up in one website. It is a wonderful program that when setup properly is an effective tool in managing a swimming team. We are doing the best we can to improve the quality of the Lindon Storm Swim Team, but we need everyone's help to get started!
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and willingness to help in any way possible!

Introducing Team Unify!
Hello everyone! We are happy to announce that we will be implementing Team Unify into our program this summer. This is a swimming program that will help increase communication between, parents, and swimmers, where all announcements and news will be posted, meet schedules will be listed, and times for swimmers will be recorded. Team Unify also offers the ability for parents to declare their swimmer's commitment to meets, register for events, sign up to help at home meets, and display meet results with the aid of the On Deck App. Team Unify will replace the blog that the team currently uses.
Everyone will be receiving an email login invitation to create a login for your account. As soon an account is created for your family, you will be able to update all contact information for both parents and swimmers. This will be vital in communicating with your family, so please make sure all phone numbers, mailing addresses, and emails are up-to-date. Also, please make sure that your swimmer's birth dates are inputted as that will help identify the swimmer with their times.
Be on the look out for the email within the next day!

A WRAP UP, MY GOODBYE, AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi All,
I just wanted to send out a last email thanking everyone for an amazing season. I've coached for the Lindon Storm Swim Team the past three summers and have loved it! Unfortunately, this was my last season. We are off to medical school next summer and starting a new adventure!
I will be sure that the transfer to the next head coach goes smoothly so we can keep a good thing going. If you guys have any feedback for what could be done better next year, please email me so I can pass it on to the next coach. I already have quite a few ideas how to make things better with tryout/registration and a few other things. So, please share any ideas you may have!
Just a few things to wrap up the season...
- Please be aware that if volunteer hours were not completed or a fee paid, this may affect your standing for next year's swim team. So, you might want to make sure your parent volunteer hours are filled/have been updated if you plan on coming back. The city may also be sending out invoices. https://docs.google.com/
spreadsheets/d/1AMjBp3TENBvj_ lnLqUOxYx8bDLFW7w_derHpfkGjV- s/edit?usp=sharing - Come in and grab your awards if you were unable to make it to the end of the season party! They are in the front office and organized by family name. Only take your awards, not your file folder.
- The Gold Meet Results have been updated. There were some issues on some of the events. https://lindonswimteam
.blogspot.com/p/meet-results. html - We still have a few swimmers who have not picked up their t-shirts. If that's you, come and pick them up at the pool.
- Adult swim class goes until Sept. 1. We are likely going to be changing the time to later so you can come after you drop your kids off at school. So, email us if you are interested in coming even just for a day! You pay per class you attend and will likely come up with a flat fee if you want to come a lot. We will be sending a group email or text to those wanting to attend. Pass it on to your friends that may be interested. Flyer attached below.
- If you want to do private swim lessons during the winter/fall, you can always hit up any of the swim coaches. Just email us at lindonswimteam@gmail.com
and we can set something up and find a pool that would work. - Check the blog early next year for when tryouts will be held - They will most likely be early May. Put it in your calendar now! :)
- Every year I try to put together a slide show. Here is a link to the 2017 slide show >> https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=ovzamw7axO4 - Just keep swimming!
An Announcement
Last, but not least, I wanted to share with my swim family some exciting news! Most of you may already know, but we are expecting a new addition to join our family in Feb. 2018!! I'm sure many of you guessed this was the reason I was absent for so many days throughout the season. Morning sickness is a real thing! Thanks for your patience and support! Big shout out to my amazing coaches this season. I LITERALLY could not have done it without them.
I'd love to stay in touch with all our swimmers and friends I've made these three years, so feel free to follow me on Instagram @themedschoolwife_kristi. If your swimmer is swimming high school this year, I'd love to come watch them compete so let me know!
Thank you again for a great season and all your support! Keep the Lindon Storm Swim Team running strong!

Hi there!
Just so you know, we will have a lifeguard checking everyone in at the front. This is where you will need to get a wristband in order to enter the party.

SILVER AND GOLD REMINDERS
Hi there,
Just a few reminders for those attending the Silver and Gold Meets.
Final Entry List
The entry list for Silver and Gold are below. Please give it a look. This is the last time I can make any changes.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8VzqXYKcPJvemtWWmRvUkRFLTQ/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8VzqXYKcPJvemtWWmRvUkRFLTQ/view?usp=sharing
Silver Relays
At the Silver meet, the Freestyle Relays will be swam in place of the Medley Relays. Not sure why they do this, but that's how it will be run. We will need all those signed up for relays to come immediate to the coaches after warm up, when the meet starts. Lehi will have lane assignments for each team.
Gold Relays
Many of you signed up for relays, yay! We are still in need of two boys 7-8 to swim and three 9-10 (or 7-8) girls to swim.
Also, many just marked an X and didn't specify if you could swim both the medley or the free relay. Please let us know at the meet so we can plan accordingly. We are assuming if you put an X you can swim both.
Food Policy
They do not allow food on the pool deck at Lehi. You can eat in the observation deck or on the outside deck.
County Volunteers
We could still use help with stroke judging. Please sign up if you can!

2017 COUNTY MEET SIGN UPS
Swimmers and Swim Team Parents!
It's County Meet sign up time! Below you will find the links and instructions to sign up for County. Remember, sign ups are due by MONDAY AT 12 PM!!! So stop what you are doing and take 5 minutes and sign up :)
Link to qualifications and other links >>
STEPS TO SIGN UP
1. First see the link below for your swimmer's qualifications whether they qualified for the Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Swimmers with a N/Q did not qualify because they didn't swim in two dual swim meets or have legal times.
To clarify about what meet you can attend, it is 2 out of 3 times that determines which meet you go to." So as an example, if your swimmer has two times in silver, one time in bronze, and one time in gold - your swimmer has two options. Swim in Silver or swim in Gold. Swimmers may always swim up. The head of the league said she will move swimmers if they are in the wrong meet based on this rule, so please make sure your swimmer is signed up for the correct meet. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. If you have any questions, please email me.
On a side note, some swimmers choose not to swim an event so they can swim at a different meet. Ex. If a swimmer has two gold times and a silver time, they may compete at the Silver Meet, but they can only swim a gold time and a silver time. They can not swim both gold times at Silver.
If you see any problems on the qualifications page, please let us know. We are human.
Qualifications for each swimmer >>
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rh-BnCSBX_iJiW-XwRsFpDEM1VO6Crs_BhQntbFGe7Y/edit?usp=sharing
2. Once you have viewed your swimmer's qualifications, go to the link below to sign them up. Bronze is the first sheet, Silver is the second sheet, Gold is the third sheet. You can switch in between sheets by clicking on the name in the left hand corner.
Please read the instructions before you sign them up. If your swimmer is put in the wrong meet, we will contact you and move them to the appropriate meet.
Individual events...
Remember, only three events per swimmer. No exhibition events are allowed.
Relays...
Please mark if your swimmer is interested in swimming in a relay and write both or which relay they want/stroke they'd prefer. Relays at County can be difficult to get enough swimmers to participate, so please sign up! They are so much fun!
County Sign Ups >>
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZCMRl5LWiR5fHCH5RuOuwuWOX_GmWjDp0EAW3pok26I/edit?usp=sharing
3. Don't forget to sign up for volunteering at County! We are still in need of parents to volunteer. If we don't have enough timers and judges, we may not be allowed to swim.

A. The Bronze meet: will be held one to two days prior to the other meets and is for swimmers with two or more qualifying times below the Bronze Meet Time Standard. This meet follows the 78 event order with the exceptions of relays and no individual medley. All relays will be deck seeded with cards, no prior entries will be needed. No “A” or “B” time or Gold time standard swimmers will be permitted to swim at the Bronze Meet. All 6 & under swimmers will swim in this meet only.
B. The Silver Meet will be held the second day for all boys and girls that qualify in accordance to the Silver meet time standard requirements. The swimmer should have two out of three times that are in the Silver meet time standards. Freestyle relays will be held in the place of the medley with no medley relays. All relays will be deck seeded with cards. No prior entry will be needed.
C. The Gold Meet will be held as the final meet of the season for all boys and girls in that age group that have two or more times faster than the silver time standard. It will be a time standard meet. All swimmers participating must meet the qualifying time standard. All 15-18 year olds will participate in this meet regardless of time standards. All standard relays will be held in the standard order. All relays will be deck seeded with no prior entries needed.
D-2 Minimum Requirements for Participation in a County Championship Meet.
To compete in any county Championship meet, swimmers must:
A. Have swum in at least two dual or invitational meets during the
Season (Individual events only, relays do not count) AND;
B. Have at least one legal time in the event(s) they wish to enter at a county meet. Inter-squad meet times are not eligible to use as entry times for a county meet participation.
D-3 Entries for County Meets. Meets will be regulated as follows:
A. Each team may have an unlimited number of entries in each event.
B. Each swimmer may enter a maximum of three individual events and two relay events.
C. Each team may enter a maximum of three (3) relays per age group per gender.
D. Swimmers may swim a maximum of one freestyle relay and one medley relay.
E. To swim in any relay at a county meet, a swimmer must swim in at least one individual event.
F. A swimmer who is disqualified for any reason will be considered to have swum that event and will count toward his/her maximum number of events.
G. There will be no exhibition entries.
H. If a swimmer swims more than the allowed number of individual or relay events, he or she will be disqualified from those events swam after the maximum number of events is reached. In case of a relay, the entire team will be disqualified.
I. Team entries will be submitted to the host team and meet director at a predetermined time (usually seven days before the meet). After that date no changes may be made in individual events without the use of a “team card.” In relays substitutions may be made until the swimmers are called to the block. A maximum of 6 “team card” changes may be made by each team during the 3-day meet.
J. “No entry” times will be accepted for relay teams. Entries will be seeded at random with “A” teams seeded faster than “B” and “C” team relays.
-----
County Meet Volunteers Needed
We are required to provide two stroke judges and four timers for each County Meet, otherwise we may not be allowed to compete. Volunteers will be rotated out. So we need two timers to take the beginning of the meet and two to take the end of the meet. Same with judges.
Please sign up here >>
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-C-KL2UbJvfEPNYfTh4HfxXnDOzQcXHu5l66ifudDnw/edit?usp=sharing

Again, I will be sending out County Sign Ups tomorrow in the afternoon. We should have all the qualifications for each swimmer updated by then. So please be looking for that email because ENTRIES ARE DUE ON MONDAY, JULY 24TH AT 12 PM.

RIVERSIDE MEET AND COUNTY QUALIFICATIONS
Happy Friday!
Real quick, I've received a lot of emails. I'm slowly working through them so don't worry if you haven't heard from me yet. I'll email you back soon! If you emailed me about tomorrow's meet and haven't heard from me, please shoot me a new email with the title "RIVERSIDE MEET."
Just wanted to send out a reminder that this is our last swim meet before County Meets. Below are County Qualifications:
D-2 Minimum Requirements for Participation in a County Championship Meet. To compete in any county Championship meet, swimmers must:
A. Have swum in at least two dual or invitational meets during the Season (Individual events only, relays do not count) AND;
B. Have at least one legal time in the event(s) they wish to enter at a county meet. Inter-squad meet times are not eligible to use as entry times for a county meet participation.
County time qualifications are up on the blog for Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
RIVERSIDE MEET
If you have not signed up for the meet, but you want to still attend so your swimmers can compete at County, PLEASE STILL COME. This meet is done with cards instead of seeded ahead of time, so we can easily write cards for your swimmer at the meet. Hence, the last call for sign ups.
Below are tentative relays >>

MEET SIGN UPS AND PANCAKE PARTY
Hi All,
Can you believe we have only one more
swim meet?? If your swimmer still needs to attend two meets to go to
County, this is your last meet to do so.Please sign up for this Saturday's meet by THURSDAY, JULY 13TH @ 11AM. We are going to be doing cards for this meet, per request of Riverside. So please come and check in with the coaches to get your card with your events on it. You will take this card to the bullpen.

VOLUNTEER HOURS
Please check your hours and let me know of any hours you've volunteered thus far (the times you started/ended and the date). I know I'm missing a lot.

PANCAKE PARTY
We
are having our pancake party this Friday!! Swimmers will still come at
the normal practice time. We will just swim for the first 30mins and
then eat the last 30mins. If you are in need of hours and are willing to
cook/clean, please email <cassi.pope@gmail.com>. She is organizing the volunteers for the breakfast.

PAYSON MEET
Hello All,
Hope you all had an enjoyable 4th of July!
MEET SIGN UPS
Here is the meet sign up for our away meet at Payson this Saturday. Sorry I am sending this so late, but we need sign ups by tomorrow at 12pm.
The pool address and warm up/start time is on the sign up.

Payson is looking for two timers for a lane. If you need volunteer hours still, this is a great way to make some up. Please email me if you are willing to time.
COUNTY MEETS
Just a reminder, in order to qualify for county meets, your swimmer must have participated at two swim meets and have a qualifying time in the events they would like to compete in. So if you have not swam in any of the meets, we suggest you sign up for this Payson meet and the next one because we only have two left.
If your swimmer wants to try out a new stroke that they haven't competed in yet as well, we suggest doing that in the next two meets!
Best,
Coach Kristi

Please remember if you volunteered to fulfill your duties. We can not run home meets without you. If you have questions about your duties, feel free to email me. We will also be sending out an email about when you need to show up for your position to check in etc. So stay tuned.
