HYDRO NEWS
swIM fundraiser
This is it! Let’s do it. I’m excited about both raising money for our team and for our unique event. Below are some FAQ and if you have any more let me know and I’d love to help you out. Let’s start with the swim:
SWIM
WHEN AND WHERE Our main event is May 28th from 6-8 pm. The swim is only 1 hour but we will eat and have fun after the event.
WHAT IF I CANT MAKE THAT DATE? That’s totally okay. We have a 2nd date and a make up swim for that reason alone. We will have a 2nd date on June 5th from 6-8 pm and again the swim is 1 hour.
HOW DOES IT WORK? Well, however the swimmer wants to tackle it. The rules are no fins, and it has to be in a IM sequence meaning Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. The do 100s on repeat. They can swim IM , kick IM, do IM drill. Again it has to be in a 100 yard sequence and not 200/300/400 or any other variation.
WHO COUNTS FOR ME? Parent, friend, or If no one can ask another parent at the event. (If you are counting bring a chair)
ENTRIES? You have all been entered into the main event. If you have to decline and pick the 2nd date please do so now. If you can’t attend just simply decline the declaration.
PRIZES
HOW DO PRIZES WORK?
Everyone gets a one of a kind swIM Hydro Cap when they swim the event. There are levels of donations that get prizes and the top 1 in each age group and gender will get a prize and recognition on Hydro Highlights and our social media channels.
FUNDRAISING
Go out and get it now! We already have some donations and you have plenty of time to get them even after the swim. We are a non profit swim team and and funds raised will help us grow our swimmers, team, and coaching staff.
5 BELOW SHIRTS
I’m still taking shirts if you have one or a few you would like me to do. Please bring them to the pool. I have also got the ones to bring back and we will present them at dryland one of the practice days soon. If you or your family wants one get them to Coach Tyson to have it Hydro custom.
PARENTS-Can you send me a few pics of the shirts I’ve made and gave back to you. It’s hard for people to get a visual until I actually make them. Just text them to me or WhatsApp.
STAR MEET
The STAR meet is this weekend! I can’t wait to see you all swim. Let’s do this! Timeline, timing chairs, information to come as soon as I get it myself. Time to get out there and race and shoot for those “B” times.
MEETS TO COME
Southern California just released some of the meets, meet sheets, and entry files. Please look at the schedule and look as we commit to each meet. Right now I am committed the team to the YST last chance JAG meet so please if you have any event requests or changes write in the notes at declaration.
ROUTINE
Let’s get back into the swing of things here. I need all age group swimmers (gold) to bring their slam balls Mon/Wed/Fri. All the time and in addition I need you all (gold) in your tights for drag. How that works
Copper/Bronze/Silver no tights-no a option
Gold yes tights
SR groups tights are optional.
Reminder this Wednesday is a late start for all
Groups. We will not have dryland and we will swim only 7-8:30 pm
