Aqualaps week 4: $32,647 of our $78,000 Goal

Amber Treston

Keep up the good work! You all have raised $32,647! If you have not signed up yet, there are still table spaces available at Super Bear and Safeway. Please remind your swimmers of the following before you sit at the tables:

  • All swimmers MUST be accompanied by a parent at all times. The ONLY exception is for High School swimmers.
  • Remember that you are representing GSC...your behavior directly reflects on the club!
  • Wear your GSC logo ware!
  • Decorating Ideas: consider bringing a nice tablecloth, bring medals/ribbons/trophies, goggles, swim caps, team photo, etc. to personalize the table and make it more inviting.
  • Consider bringing fresh baked cookies, a bowl of chocolates or the like to thank those who have donated.
  • Bring a pledge collection jar. Please decide ahead of time how the swimmers (2 per shift) will split the money raised.
    For example, divide equally at the end of the shift or alternate asking for pledges.
  • Use your manners! Stand up, greet people, and remember that please and thank you are important words!
  • Know what Aqualaps is and be ready to talk about it. (Refer to the 'What is Aqualaps' and 'Lap Goals' section of your fundraising brochure.)
  • Show up for your assigned shift! Please do not sign up and then not show up.
  • If you are not able to make your shift, then please remove your name off the online sign-up sheet so others can take your spot.

Aqualaps Corporate Sponsorship Drive Phase 3 underway

Phase 3: March 10 – May 9, 2024

PHASE 3 - OPEN RECRUITMENT FOR ALL UNCLAIMED AND NEW BUSINESSES: At this point, if you were hoping to approach a business for a corporate sponsorship, and haven’t already reached out to Savona, now is the time! Even if you approached a business last year, you cannot approach that business this year unless you reach out to Savona first. All unclaimed businesses are open to all families at this point, so if you want to approach a business, please contact Savona at [email protected] ASAP.

SE CHAMPS – 3 days of swimming FUN!

  • Warms up start at 1 - If your swimmer is not swimming in the 1650 or 500 tomorrow they do not need to be at the pool until 4; please note there will not be a seperate warm up.
  • Heat Sheet/Psych Sheet/Meet Invite/Buddy list/Order of events – these can all be found on the GSC website. Go to Events & Competition – Team Events – click on SE Champs. Please print the heat sheet if you want a paper copy. There will not be any for sale or extras.
  • Timers needed – we still have 5 open timer spaces for tomorrow. I understand it is difficult to get off work for this, but if you are there and can help that would be great!
  • Snacks and Water – don’t forget to bring healthy snacks for your swimmers between their races. There will be food available for purchase at the concessions as well! The food in the hospitality room is for the volunteers; please help remind your swimmer that those are not for them.
  • Have Fun! Help welcome and meet some of our fellow southeast swimmers from Petersburg, Wrangell, Ketchikan, Craig, Sitka, Yakima, and Haines.
