Good morning SVY, Last evening I got the results back from the meet in Stanwood and wanted to share what I found as I looked through them: We had a total of 34 Personal Best (PB) times swam that day, and every swimmer got at least 1 new best time. Way to go team!! Noah Dobbs joins the Regional Qualifiers with his 100 breast performance, congratulations! There were 8 new Y-Regional qualifying times swam by our team Biggest time drop goes to Margaret Nichols, shaving 13.48 off her 100 back...

Hi SVYA, Hope you all had a great weekend! As we head into our last week before winter break, I wanted to share a quick breakdown of this week. Wednesday December 14th is our Winter Break party! We will have a sock exchange and tie dye station for everyone interested from 6:00 to 6:30. You will need to provide your own socks and goodies to participate in the sock exchange, and bring a cotton t-shirt for the tie-dye stations. Both of these activities are optional, and the rest of the...

Good morning, Just finished talks with Snohomish and I am happy to confirm that we will be having a meet on December 17th!

Sorry for such a short period to decide, but this meet and the announcements were just made today, to give our swimmers another chance at Y-State and Y-Regional qualifications:) EDIT: This will be at...

Good morning SVYA, Just a quick update on a couple of things gaining traction behind the scenes: We may have another YMCA meet opportunity with Stanwood coming up on the 17th of December! This would count towards Regionals and towards Y-State qualifications. There will be a meet with Friday Harbor on January 7th! The meet page is up on our events/calendar tab, so please indicate whether or not you can go. This is a fun and quick meet with a nice ferry ride out to Friday Harbor. The facility is...

Hi all! Sorry for the delay in getting the results, but I wanted to go through everything and get some stats to summarize our team's outstanding performance last weekend! Overall, we had 48 personal bests including new times for legal first swims (not including relays or relay splits)! I will be emailing the results out to those of you who attended the meet. I am hoping that this inspires those who have yet to attend one to go:) Thank you all to our volunteers, timers, officials, hospitality, and those that...

Hi all! I heard from our membership department that some families aren't fully set up with their swimmer's accounts. Please make sure that you are on your kid's Y membership account, we need to be able to check people in and make sure everyone is accounted for because of safety and legal requirements. This does not mean that you will have an additional fee, and it will not change membership plans (it just ties parents and swimmers together so everyone can be properly identified to enter the building). You must...

I hope everyone is doing well so far and that everyone had a great break! Here are a couple of deadlines and events to keep an eye on: Parent Meeting tomorrow (Wednesday 11/30) at 6:00pm in the conference room near the front desk. (Same spot as before)! I will provide a Zoom link in a separate announcement/newsletter email. This will go over the fun events coming up and serve as a time to organize them and provide more information. For those of you signed up: home meet with Whatcom this...

Hi all! Sorry for the spam, just wanted to get some important information out as soon as I can: Brief Parent Meeting at 6:00pm-7:00pm on November 30th going over the specifics of Swim-Up-The-Skagit event - this will be in a kind of Q&A format in the conference room. I will provide a Zoom link for those that prefer/can't make it in person. Based on the results of the poll and feedback/suggestions that I have received from different people, I want to check in with families as to what date works...

Hi SVYA! We will be having normal practice times this week, Monday-Wednesday, and will not have practice on Thursday or Friday. Enjoy the 4 days off! Swim-Up-the-Skagit will most likely be on the 17th (We will confirm in the announcement post by tomorrow) -> From the initial responses it was pretty even (though I was just told that there would have actually been a scheduling conflict with the Early Learning Center using the facility on the 10th. Sorry for the confusion, please disregard the previous email and poll). Sorry for...
