Beaver Buzz – Tons of Reminders

Heather Dury

Hi Beaver Families,

Despite triple-digit temps at our first meet, the Beavers were on fire! This weekend, we’re heading to Galt — and we need your help to keep the momentum going. 

🚨 IMPORTANT: Every swimmer must declare on our website (not SportsYou) by Wednesday — no exceptions.

🕗 Reminder: Swimmers who are not checked in during the designated check-in window will be scratched from the meet — no exceptions.

🏊‍♂️ Friday Practice Update: This Friday after Kit Club (6:30–7:30 PM), practice will be a free swim session so swimmers can unwind and get to bed at a decent time before Saturday’s away meet.

🏊 Swim Meet Saturday 

  • Declare your swimmer: RSVP to the event no later than Wednesday, June 4.
  • Volunteer: Sign up for a volunteer job. Remember, we do not have a swim meet without you, our amazing volunteers. As of now, we need a lot of afternoon volunteers. 
  • Location & Parking: Galt's pool is located at 610 Chabolla Ave, Galt, CA 95632. Parking is available along the street, in the Aquatic Center parking lot, and in the large Galt Market parking lot directly across from the pool. Gates open at 6:30 AM.
  • Team Setup Area: Our setup is on the large grass field behind the pool at Fairsite Elementary. Access it by walking through the north gate of the Aquatic Center. Please be aware and ready for your swim event so that we can find you to prepare the ready bench! **Map attached
  • Volunteer Reminder: Please help us by filling needed volunteer positions first before signing up for roles that already have the required number of people. If you have any questions about volunteer expectations, shift sign-ups, or how it all works, please reach out to our volunteer coordinator, Megan, or a board member. 
  • Sharpies & Swimmer Markings: Ever wonder why our swimmers show up covered in Sharpie? It’s not just for fun — it’s how they keep track of their events, heats, and lanes! It helps them stay on schedule and know where to be when it’s go time. If your swimmer loves the Sharpie ritual, consider sending them with their own. Let’s keep the tradition alive (and our team’s Sharpie stash intact 🤣)!

📬 Notes From Your Coaches

We Want Your Feedback! Swimmers, CLICK HERE to complete our survey asking: What are your favorite events to swim? Are there any new events you’d like to try at our next meet? Your feedback helps us make sure every swimmer is having fun and competing in events they’re excited about. ** Parents, please have your swimmer complete this themselves.

 

Beavers Passports Are Coming! We’re excited to introduce Beavers Passports, coming soon to your family mailboxes! These fun keepsakes will be stamped with a special mark each time a swimmer earns a personal best at a meet. You’ll be able to watch your progress throughout the season and look back at all your accomplishments when the season wraps up. Just one more way to celebrate how hard work pays off!

Let’s keep swimming strong, Beavers!
Warmly, Coach Lyv and Genna

 

🥳 Swim-A-Thon is Coming Soon!

Get ready, Beavers — our annual Swim-A-Thon event is coming soon! While the official date is still to be determined, the excitement is already building. Last year, our small but mighty team made waves by raising a record-breaking $10,000, and this year, we’re aiming to do it again in honor of our 60th birthday! The Swim-A-Thon isn’t just about laps — it’s a full-blown celebration with music, games, and tons of fun. And the best part? If we hit our goal, we’ll throw an unforgettable party for our amazing swim families. Let’s celebrate six decades of Beaver pride in style!
