  1. The stroke clinic schedule is below. These begin today, Wednesday, April 11th and run through Monday, April 30.  I do have some stroke clinics set up for our Bronze and Silver swimmers on Mondays and Thursdays, 4:15-5:30pm. All the Monday, Thursday clinics at BV from 7-8:30pm are for Gold and approved Silver Swimmers.  Both Wednesday clinics are open to everyone.  Cost of stroke clinics is $5.00 per session.  Those who pay additional tuition for clinics will not be charged.  GBY Swimmers only need to show up. Attendance will be taken and families will be charged for clinics through their escrow accounts.

Spring/Summer Season will run from Wednesday, May 9 – Wednesday, August 1.  These practice times are on the calendar on the website.  The meet schedule is posted on the website.

 

  1. Tuesday evening, May 8, 6:30-8:30pm, I will run an all-parent meeting at the DT Y in room 1D.  A parent from all families is expected to attend this meeting.  I have many important items to go over prior to the start of the season.  PLEASE MARK THIS DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR.

 

  1. I have had some kids attending year round practices and other interested in attending that did not sign-up for these.  If the practices do not get to large I will allow walk-ins at $5.00 per session.  These are only open to Gold I & II swimmers.  Those who have already attended will be charged for those you have attended and any future ones.  I will charge these to the escrow account with the stroke clinic charges in early May.

 

  1. I have opened up entries for the following meets 1) FCY Summer Classic, June 23 & 24 and  2)  FCY Birdbath Invite, July 6-8.  These meets are open to all team members.  I also have opened up the entries for 1) Pabst Farms Summer Classic, June 1-3 and  2) WGLO Meet, July 6-8.  These meets are only for USA registered swimmers.  The WGLO also has qualifying times.  I have only spots for 20 swimmers in the Pabst Farms Meet and 15 swimmers in the WGLO meet.  The priority for entry in these meets goes to Gold I & II swimmers.  I would ask that if you want to attend these two meets that you enter ASAP.  I will open up the Friday Night 50’s entry soon as well as the remaining meets when I receive them.

 

  1. All charges are in your escrow accounts for the 2011-2012 season. Thank to all those families who took care of their balances.  We still have a number of balances that were not paid.  I would please ask that you take care of these now, Thank you.  You can pay by credit card over the phone by calling a business staff at the DT Y. You can also pay at the front desk of the DT Y.  Also please ensure that you have monies in your account for the stroke clinics and year round workouts by early May.
