- (45) GBY swimmers are participating in the FCY Summer Classic. This meet is held at Erb Park. All warm-up times are posted on the website under the meet. I also have posted the map to Erb Park. Heat sheet is also attached to the website. Please make sure that you print your own heat sheets. Coach Bill and Kari will attend this meet. I did get clarification from FCY regarding the finals. The Top 16 swimmers from prelims will swim finals on Saturday night. Exception to this are all 8&under events and the 200 IM's. These are all timed final events.
- I would ask that all families please check your escrow balances. We have (35) families that have negative balances in their accounts. I would also ask that all families please ensure that they have ample monies in their accounts for upcoming June & July swim meets. Thank you for handling these matters promptly. Remember that you may put money in your accounts with credit card by calling the DT Y front desk and speak to a business staff. You can always stop at the DT Y front desk to add monies also.
3. The swim team camp flyer is on the web page. I have two men who have commit to chaperoning this event. Please contact me ASAP if you are able to help out an chaperone for swimmer’s camp. Camp runs August 20-22, 2012. We still need (4) female parents to make this camp happen. Again please contact me ASAP if you can chaperone at the camp.

- I will be attending the Olympic Team Trials meet in Omaha, NE all next week. I will return to practices on Monday July 2. I will continue to run the swim team from Omaha. I will update both the FCY Birdbath & WGLO entries after the FCY Summer Classic this weekend. I also will send out notes and hopefully some photos from the meet during the week. I have already sent out the TV schedule and also a psych sheet for the meet. The assistant coaches will run all the workouts next week while I am away. Please make sure that everyone continues to be on time for all workouts and give the coaching staff the same respect that you give myself. (Thanks!!) I am very excited about attending this meet. I plan to watch as much of the meet as I can. I hope everyone else will plan to watch the meet too. You will get the opportunity to watch the greatest swimmers in the USA and in a lot of cases, in the world.
- Assorted notes –
· There is no Saturday AM practice this week.
· Please remember your membership cards when you are entering our YMCA’s. If you need a new card you may stop at any Y front desk and they will make you a new one.
