Del Prado Stingrays

Hi Swimmers,

Well it’s time to hang up the lane lines for another season. Sammy Stingray has posted a set of photo pages from the 2008 Championships (see the links on the right hand side).  

It was a great 2008 swim season and all you Stingrays big and small did a great job at the swim meets throughout the entire 2008 swim season. You made some new friends, improved your strokes, and dropped your swim times.

So when you are back in the classroom this fall and some asks you what you did this summer tell’em “I was a Del Prado Stingray “.

Cheers Your Friend,

Sammy Stingray

Hi Swimmers,

Sammy here. I have been experimenting with video, so here goes it. This is the 9-10 Freestyle Relay from the Ruby Hill July 19th swim meet.

Cheers,

Sammy Stingray

How wonderful it was to be back at our own pool and watching our great swimmers perform.

Thank you, swimmers, for doing your best today. Times keep dropping. I saw lots of tattooed bodies around the pool today which signified a time lower than the previous meet. Way to swim fast, Stingrays.

Thank you, parents and families, for helping us run this meet and for supporting our team. I always say it, but we couldn’t do what we did today without all your help. It was also great seeing former Del Prado swimmers cheering on their team.

Coaches, you are an amazing bunch. You seeded us a great meet and give the best feedback to our swimmers on how to keep improving. I love your spirit.

A couple things for the week ahead:

Monday, June 30th -  Morning and Evening Practices
We will have double practices this Monday, June 30. The morning practice is optional. Coaches Jamie, Julianne, and Taylor will be heading this practice. We will hold regular evening practice as well.

Wednesday, July 2nd - Morning Practice

We will have regular morning practice on wednesday, the day of the meet.

Wednesday, July 2nd - Del Prado vs. Briarhill at our Pool

We have a home swim meet on Wednesday, July 2nd against Briarhill. that meet will begin at 6:00 p.m. all swimmers need to be checked in with their coach by 5:00pm. The scratch meeting will be at 5:15. Bud and Kevin and their snack bar crew should be cookin’ up some good food for this meet. If your swimmer will not be swimming on Wednesday, their coach needs to know ASAP.

The deadline for this was yesterday.

July 3 and July 4th

There will be no practice on Thursday, July 3 nor Friday, July 4. Have a happy and safe long weekend. there will be optional monday morning practice on monday, july 7.

That’s it for now. Take good care and happy 4th.
Go Stingrays,
Joan

Hi Swimmers,

Sammy Stingray here - great job last night with your swim time trials! Desserts after the meet were great too. How many cookies did you eat? It looks like you are all in fine form and ready for the FAST Swim Team on Saturday.

Here are your time trial results —->  Swim time trial results

See you all Saturday,

Sammy Stingray

Stingrays,

If you remember last year  there were rumors that Bart and Lisa may be joining the Del Prado Stingrays this year. Well, unfortunately Homer and Marge are still in Springfield, so Bart and Lisa won’t be coming to Pleasanton this summer.

But don’t cry, there are plenty of new faces on the 2008 Del Prado Stingray Swim Team this year. For a list of all the swimmers on the team you can always go to the Stingrays page (see menu on right hand side from home page)

 Cheers,

Sammy Stingray

Hi Swim Parents,

 Just wanted to let you know that the volunteer list (the list of jobs you signed up to do at the parent meeting. This way you can check and see what indeed you agreed to do.  All areas in yellow mean we still need help with that job. Please see Beth Borchers if you can help. Also, if you cannot fulfill your job, please find a replacement. You have copies of the team roster along with phone numbers. The only thing we ask is that you let Beth know what change has been made so we know who to expect to do what job at a particular meet. Again, thank you all for helping. We couldn’t run a meet without you.

The Stingrays 2008 Volunteer List is now posted here –> Volunteer List Page .

Note: The Volunteers page is always available on the right hand side of the Stingray Website for future reference.

Please check the list for your assignments. If you have any questions please contact Beth mailto:beth@bborchers.com

Go Stingrays,
Joan
