Sunday Scoop #13
Congratulations to all the swimmers yesterday at the Lititz Springs Invitational where we took first place! Also, congratulations to Delaney Connors for setting a pool record for the Girls 11-12 IM!
Away Meet - New Holland - Tuesday, June 28
400 E Jackson St, New Holland Arrival Time: 5:15
We have a few urgent volunteering needs that must be filled:
- Finish judge - both halves
- Staging - 2 for 2nd half
- Stroke and Turn Judges - 2 for each half
Photo Day – Thursday, June 30
The order form is now in the mailboxes. There is 1 form for each swimmer. The photographer requires 1 form for each photo he takes. So, if you have 3 children - you will need 3 forms. You can just write one check though for the total (just write the check number on all 3 forms.) He also accepts credit cards. If you would like a photo of all your children together, you will need to complete another form. If you know that you will not be having your child's photo taken, please put the blank order form in the first folder in front of the coach's folder in the top drawer. If you need another form, you can take one from this folder. Paul will also have extra forms available that day as well. On the order form - write what age level your child swims.
Individual photos take place during morning practices. Please arrive prior to your swim time practice (about 15 min or so) to get your pictures taken and not miss practice. He is able to do a make-up day for individual photos for anyone not able to be there on July 6.
Team Photos will be the same day beginning at 4 PM prior to our second home swim meet. Please arrive by 4 PM. We will start with the 8 and unders and then continue with the remaining age groups.
