June 14 Update: Upcoming events

Joseph Shelly

Good afternoon Tritons!

Let me start by saying congratulations to our graduating seniors: Suhani Karwal, Gabby Fernandez, Heather Santangelo, and Artemiy Lisitskiy for completing their high school journey this month! I wish them the best in whatever the future holds for these bright young swimmers.

We have some fun events coming up, and I just wanted to check in and share those all in one spot:

  • The Berry Dairy Days Parade is tomorrow (Saturday, June 15th) - please turn in your waivers either to myself or to Karrie Whitney (our Director of Youth Development) by emaling  [email protected]
    • Please be at staging grounds on Walnut St. and Fairhaven Ave. in Burlington at 9:30 and arrive no later than 10:15 am for an 11:00 am parade start.  
    • Bring team Tshirts/sweatshirts if you have them - if not I will have extras! I will also have our new swim caps we can wear during the parade
  • Our Monthly Challenge will take place on Wednesday, June 19th! Please bring a pair of jeans to be eligible to earn a badge (if you don't have a pair of jeans, I will have spare swim trunks that can be used as resistance during the race; they just might be a little big!)
    • Wednesday June 19th will be a combined practice, starting at 4:30pm and ending at about 5:30pm
    • I will have goal times for every swimmer calculated before the meet! The goal will be swimming within 25% of their personal best for the 50 Fly
  • The registration for the July 13th BBST meet is at 11:59pm on June 27th! We will only attend Saturday, so please sign up for day 1 only. See the attached meet announcement for more information.
  • Our Annual swim team picnic will be on July 20th at Lake Padden! This will feature a potluck, so please bring something to share if you can. If I am able to gather enough volunteers to be watchers in kayaks, we may be able to do a mini biathlon. I will give out more information in the next couple of weeks! Start time will be about 12:00pm, and go until about 2:00pm.
  • Our swim team tryout week will be July 29 - Aug 1; times not 100% confirmed yet but will most likely be before practice times.
    • tryouts for 10&U will be on July 29/31
    • tryouts for 11&O will be on July 30/Aug 2
  • I am just about finished with the set up for our final meet of the summer! I am planning to have a parent/officials/coaches relay to end off the event. This meet will also be relay focused, with top scoring relays receiving a medal; more information to come soon!

Let me know if you have any questions,
