Re: 1) Upcoming meet entries 2) Swim Team Camp at Camp Uni 3) Escrow Accounts 4) Assorted Notes
- We have three meets remaining on our schedule.
12&under State Meetentry has been sent in. I will have to scratch the Saturday AM 10&under Boys Medley Relay. It looks like we will only be able to swim the 200 Free Relays on Sunday. Please keep posted for more info on this meet next week. Friday PM warm-ups begin at 3:00pm.
13&over State Meet entry closes Sunday night. Please make sure that all swimmers are entered by the deadline. Please give me a note if you are unable to swim relays on a certain day. If you are available for all you do not need to do anything. This meet starts at 7:30am on Thursday with all prelim warm-ups beginning at 7:30am. Finals warm-up times begin at 4:15pm, and finals start at 5:20pm. Look for more info regarding this meet after the entries are due early next week.
GBY Summer Team Championship Meet will be held Wednesday, August 1. Warm-ups at 3:45pm, and meet will start at 4:40pm. This entry for team members is open until Tuesday, July 1. Silver Sharks have a flyer that they will need to turn back into the coaches by Tuesday, July 1. We will need meet committee and equipment to run the computer and timing system and put officials and timers in place.
- We currently have only (4) swimmers signed up to attend swim team camp at Camp Uni. We are going to wait until Monday, July 30, to make a decision on whether we will have a camp this year. If you are going to attend please turn in your registration flyer to Coach Dave or the DT front desk by Monday, July 30.
We also have only (1) female chaperone signed up. With 2 girls this probably would be enough but I am not sure that we would run a camp with so few people signed up. I have (2) male chaperones signed up which should be enough. If we are going to run a camp we will need more female chaperones.
- Thank you to those families who did make escrow payments and or put monies in there escrow accounts. Still have a good number of families who have not take care of their balances. Please do so by the end of the week. Thank you.
- Assorted notes –
· There will be no Saturday AM practice this. To plan ahead, there will be Friday AM next week. And practices will end with the last morning practice being Wednesday, August 1. Wednesday afternoon, August 1, is our Team Championship meet.
· Good luck to Jared Klika who will be swimming in the Y National Championships next week. Live results and hopefully live streaming will be on the National Y Swimming & Diving Page. Jared swims 200 IM on Tuesday, 200 Free and 100 Fly on Wednesday, and the 200 Back on Thursday. Prelims are in the morning and finals would be on in the late afternoon. Please check Jared out next week.
· We also have three GBY swimmers who are participating in the Speedo Championship meet in Iowa City, this Thursday-Sunday. Good luck to John Bushman, Erika Jensen and Ryan Scripp. Those live results should be available on the USA Swimming website.
· Also thank you to all our team members for taking showers before entering the Y pools. Everyone showered before Tuesday AM workout and that seemed to help. So please all team members remember to take a shower before coming into the Y Pools. Thank you!!
· 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.
· Thanks to the help of our afternoon swimmer with putting their bags in the corner of the pool by the aquatic director’s office. This helps a lot to alleviate the crowding before and after practices.
· I am still working on the August practice schedule for our year round swimmers. Practices are schedule M-F, from 3:45-5:30pm at the DT Y, except August 20-24, which will be held at the BV Y while the DT Y pool is shut down. There will be a number of days without workouts because we cannot have a coach there. I will put this final schedule on the website soon.
