Storm Forecast for April 24th, 2024

Michael White

Busy Weekends Ahead

We’ve got a LOT going on over the next couple weekends…

Saturday—Open Water Training at the Kalahari, a play day for everyone at the Kalahari to follow, and several of our coaches are heading down to Chicago to further their educations with a Coaching Clinic.

Sunday—We’re hosting a dozen swimmers from the Dolphin Swim Academy that are getting ready for their first ever swim meets.  I could use 1 or 2 Senior swimmers that would be up for volunteering at SP West, from 1-3pm.  Email me if interested.

Next weekend—We kick off the competition schedule with the Spring Scramble meet on Saturday, followed by our 2nd annual Golf Scramble on Sunday!

Open Water/Kalahari

I’ve sent out one last email to the remaining 24 swimmers that would be a good fit for Saturday’s open water training at the Kalahari.  Please consider having your swimmer take part in this unique experience.

Sign up for the Open Water Training on TeamUnify.

We’ve got almost 50 Storm family and friends going to play at the Kalahari Saturday morning.  If you want your swimmers to make some friends and have some fun together, come join us!

Get tickets for the Play Day here.

 

Golf Scramble

We’ve got a bigger scramble this year than last year!  We’ll be wrapping up the signups for most of the sponsors at the end of this week.

  1. Come golf!  Find some friends or join someone else’s foursome and golf 18 holes with us.
  2. If you don’t want to golf, find us just one sponsor.  Sponsors range from $50 hole sponsors all the way up to some big ones with lots of perks.  If you find a sponsor for us and get referred, you’ll get 10% of any golf sponsor credited to your account.
  3. If none of those work, consider donating an item that might work in a raffle basket.  Gift certificates, sports tickets, any new cars you have lying around, whatever.  Reach out to Erin if you have something for a basket.
