Hi. The way the calendar falls this year, we are short one week of practice before our meets begin.
This means everything will be starting SOON. Get ready.
This will be a fast and furious swim season.
We will not have practice on Thursday and Friday of this week.
Happy graduation to all our senior swimmers and happy summer vacation to all.
The last day for a refund is Wednesday, June 9. Please email me if you will be dropping from the team.
Time Trials:
Monday, June 14, is our time trials.
All swimmers will show up at the pool at 5:00 p.m.
We will run practice like a meet.
This will give everyone a chance to see how a meet works.
It will also give all swimmers a “time” for every event which the coaches will use to seed our meets.
If your swimmer can’t attend, don’t worry.
They will just be seeded with “no time” until they actually swim that event in a dual meet.
We will need help in getting the pool set-up for time trials and help putting it all away along with at least 12 timers/recorders, a starter, and head timer.
If you can help with this, please contact Beth Borchers at beth@bborchers. com
Volunteers:
Speaking of Beth, she is our wonderful meet coordinator.
She does a thankless job which is getting everyone on our team to volunteer to help run our meets.
If we don’t have help, we can’t run a very good meet–which by the way, Del Prado is known for running fast, efficient, and fun meets.
She needs everyone’s help. We ask that each family volunteer to help at least 5 times.
I know that seems like a lot, but you really will like helping.
You’ll get to know new people and no job is terrible.
You will always get to see your swimmer race no matter what position you help with.
This year we are hosting two extra home meets.
FAST cannot use the Foothill High School pool for their meet with us
Pleasanton Meadows cannot use their home pool this season.
We have offered to have those meets at our pool so we can still swim against them.
This makes it nicer that we won’t have to travel to their pool, but it also creates a bit more work for us.
We have to staff home meets with more people than away meets, so we really need everyone’s help to make this happen–and to make Beth’s job a bit easier.
Thank you in advance for your help and continued support.
Dive-into-the-Season Dessert Party:
After time trials are over on Monday, (hopefully around 7:30-ish) we will have our Dive-into-the-Season Dessert Party.
Each family is asked to bring some type of dessert to share.
We will have a dessert potluck for all swim team families.
Your swim team will provide the paper goods and drinks. This is a good time for all to meet the coaches and enjoy each other’s company. If the weather is nice, fun times playing in the pool as well.
Picture Day:
Tuesday, June 15 will be picture day.
All swimmers should arrive at the pool around 8:00 a.m.-ish in their team swim suit. The team photo will be taken at 8:30 sharp.
Whew, I think that’s it for now.
I told you I had lots of info for you.
Take good care and see you at the pool.
