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...

T-SHIRTS
Last call for swim team t-shirt orders! We are submitting them tomorrow! If you put your name on the t-shirt list at the party, please email me and confirm that with your shirt size.

AWARDS
We received the rest of the ribbons from the County and finished the Relay Ribbons from County Meets. If you attended County or are on the list below, please come pick up your awards. They will be in the front office at the pool.

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.

Our lineup number is #30 so we are in the RED group. We need to enter from 200 S. at 725 E. and proceed to our assigned number area.

SILVER AND GOLD MEET INFO

Parents and Swimmers,

This is a reminder for the Silver and Gold Meet - You should have already signed your swimmer up if they plan on attending. Entry lists are attached below. Spanish Fork's pool is outdoors so come prepared. It's supposed to be a hot one!

Spanish Fork Pool Address: 199 N 300 W - The pool is located on 200 N. next to the High School.

The Silver Meet is tomorrow, Friday, July 29th @ Spanish Fork Pool - Warm up: 7:30-8am. Start: 8am. 

The Gold Meet is Saturday, July 30th @ Spanish Fork Pool - Warm up: 7:30-8am. Start: 8am. 

Don't be late - try to come 10 minutes before to check in with coaches and get settled :) 

STILL IN NEED OF...
We are still in need of parents to time and judge at ALL of our meets! If we do not fulfill this requirement, we won't be allowed to participate in the meet! We have enough timers for Silver, but we are in need of two more timers for Gold. For judges, we are still in need of two for both Silver and Gold. If we get more, we can do a rotation between the Lindon parents. We need you! Try to make arrangements so you can make this possible. Please sign up! 


During the meet
Please pay attention to the bullpen so you know when your event is in the bullpen getting ready to go to the blocks. 

Come prepared with sunscreen, food, water, games, chairs, and such to keep you entertained through the meet. 

Please do not write on your swimmers backs with anything like "Eat my bubbles" or anything else that could be interpreted as bad sportsmanship. If so, swimmers will be asked to remove the writing in order to compete. Designs and positive quotes are fine.

Check Ins
Please come check in with the coaches when you arrive to get your numbers. 

Relays
We will put our relays together there with a swim card. If you signed up for a relay or are interested in participating in a relay, please come talk to the coaches as soon as warm ups are over and at check ins.

End of Summer Party
Wednesday, August 3rd from 7:30-9:30PM, at the pool.

See you tomorrow! Thank you!

Coach Kristi
