Swim Meet Camp
So far this
year, we have had difficulties getting swimmers to their events
in a timely manner. The reasons are many, from lack of line up
parents participating as line up parents to swimmers not camping
with their fellow swimmers. We currently have line up parents
for some of our groups but sill lack in others. If you can be of
assistance please see Glenna or your swimmer’s coach and inquire
as to what you can do to help with the logistics of moving
swimmers to and from their events. Also, we STRONGLY encourage
swimmers to camp with their fellow age specific swimmers. The
line up parents and coaches can not and will not attempt to
track down a swimmer if they are not with their age group camp.
The consequences are the swimmer will miss out on their event.
We thank you for your cooperation with both matters.
Visiting Team
Camp Site
Please be
advised that the grass area to the west of the restrooms is
reserved for the visiting team as their camp site. The Seahawks
camp behind the equipment shed at all of our home meets. Thank
you for your cooperation.
Swim
Meet Numbers
Please arrive
at the swim meet early enough to have your swimmer obtain their
number in a timely manner. When swimmers arrive late, and
complete their warm up first, their skin is too wet to properly
number them. The result is numbers get blurred and not recorded
properly when they exit the pool after their events.
Parent/Coaches
Relay
We will hold a
parent/coaches relay at our remaining home meets. Please be your
swim suits and be ready to swim as the other teams have been
invited to do the same.

SWIM SUITS
The swim suits were shipped from the factory
last week and are scheduled to arrive the week
of June 2, 2008, in time for our team pictures
on Monday, June 9, 2008.
TEAM PICTURES
Team pictures will be taken on Monday, June 9,
2008 during practice. We will maintain the same
practice time schedule, with the young swimmers
taking their pictures during the first hour of
practice and the older swimmers taking their
pictures in the second half of practice. We will
take a team picture at the mid point of our
practice while everyone is at the pool. Please
be sure to wear your Seahawk swim suit. Thank
you to Elva Fulton for volunteering to
coordinate this project. Elva will be available
at practice the week of June 2, 2008 to
distribute flyers with prices and packages
available. If you have any questions, pleas
contact Elva at 733-3714
TEAM APPAREL
Thank you to Debbie Mullowney, Maria Flugel, and
Julie Heath for coordinating the team
apparel project. They will be taking orders at
practice during the week of June 2, 2008 in
order to get your apparel to you before our
first swim meet on June 10, 2008. A second
round of orders will be taken during the second
week of practice with additional items available

TEAM TIME TRIALS
We will be conduction or team time trials on
Saturday, June 7, 2008 at 9:00 am at the Golden
West Pool. We would like to start the time
trials on time, so pleas be sure to arrive at
least 30 minutes before the start of the meet.
Since the meet will run a couple of hours, we
suggest that you bring pop ups or umbrellas for
shade, water, snacks, chairs, and maybe some
games to keep the young ones occupied when they
are not swimming. Please be patient as this is a
test meet and it takes time to make sure
everyone is comfortable in their volunteer
roles.
TEAM HANDBOOKS
Team handbooks have been turned into the city
for printing and should be available for
distribution at our team time trials on June 7,
2008.
HELP WANTED
We are still in need for someone to coordinate
the concessions for our home meets. Concessions
are one of our bigger fund raisers which go to
purchase awards for the swimmers at the end of
the year. Ellen Dahlenburg who has coordinated
concessions since 2003 is willing to assist with
the learning curve and how the program has
worked over the years. A team effort, such as
what is being done with team apparel, is
strongly advised. Please don’t let the Seahawks
be the only team in the CVRSL to go without
concessions.
UPDATED SCHEDLUE
Visit the calendar link to get updated practice
and meet information.
LINE UP AND TIMERS
Our Head Line Up and Timer facilitators will be
soliciting your assistance in the areas of Line
Up and Timers during the week of June 2, 2008 to
prepare for our first home meet on June 10,
2008. The team time trials held on June 7, 2008
will be an opportunity for you to explore and
experience these different roles. Don’t be shy.
These are both fun ways of being involved with
the team, at the meets, and with your children.
COMPUTER HELP
We could use the assistance two more individuals
to assist with the computers at our home meets.
The only real experience that you need is 10
key. If you want to sit in the shade, have our
hospitality crew wait on you with food and
beverage during the meet, then this is the job
for you. Please contact Brendan Feder (733-4281)
if you would like to volunteer for this role.

available at all practices. Please see Brendan
Feder to purchase you cap.

had at the beginning of the season.
We are still looking for assistance with the
following openings:

Concessions (Four meets)
Team Pictures (One time event)
The team apparel and concessions are a major
fund raiser for our team, therefore is critical

assisting in any of these areas for the 2008
season. Those individuals who coordinated these
events in the years past are very willing to
assist you with these functions.
