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 MeetUpdated entry was sent in Monday. The host team did not delete my original entry thus they had to make some corrections. Initial Psych sheet posted did not reflect our changes. But entry on our website is the correct entry. Please watch SWAT’s web site for all information regarding the meet including assigned warm-up times.

I will be at this meet all weekend.
13&over State Meet entry has been sent in. Entry list and tentative relays are posted on the website. Relays are subject to changes based on times and who is available to swim. I will send out more information later. 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.
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. Please get signed up on time. All GBY swimmers should participate. Heat sheets and entry lists will be available on the website Wednesday afternoon, and will be available and posted at the meet.
- As of today we currently have only (7) 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 4 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. I would ask everyone to please take care of all balances and charges by next Wednesday, August 1. Entry fee reports for both USA State Championship meets are on the website. Thank you.
- Assorted notes –
· There will be a Friday morning practice this week. To plan ahead the last morning practice will be Wednesday, August 1. Wednesday afternoon, August 1, is our Team Championship meet.
· 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 swimmers 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. And thank you to ALL GBY swimmers for taking showers before we practice in the Y pools.
· The August schedule is not yet finalized but is posted on the website. Workouts 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 some days without workouts because we cannot have a coach there. The days with no workouts will be posted on the website calendar.
· I will continue to send out notes during our down time. I do have the stroke clinic and fall/winter practice times on the website calendar. Stroke clinics will begin Wednesday, September 5. Stroke clinics in the fall are only for Gold and approved Silver Swimmers.
