Congratulations to all the swimmers and coaches on a great victory and lots of fun against Haddon Glen.
We have a big week ahead. Please see below for details.
Team Pictures: Wed. June 29
Individual and family pictures will start at 8:50am. The team picture will be taken at 10:00am sharp. Please do not be late - there are 150+ kids to organize and shoot so we can only do this once. Individual and family pictures will resume after the team picture is done.
Please email Kim Morris at kmorris@monroetwp.k12.nj.us if you did not receive a picture form. Forms will be available the day of pictures.
B Meet at Georgetown Dolphins - AWAY: Wed. June 29 at 6:00pm
All swimmers must be at Georgetown by 5:15pm.
There is no team caravan - driving is on your own. Please leave plenty of time for travel - Georgetown is in Bridgeton.
Please see attachment for directions. Also, please see attachment for meet volunteer assignments. Thank you volunteers!
Note: it can be tough to get volunteers for B meets. For timers, I listed people who have volunteered in the past. If you can't do it, that's fine. For others, please don't be offended if I ask you to volunteer at the meet. I understand if you can't, but it won't keep me from asking again (it's just what I have to do to). Thanks.
Mexican Theme - Team Dinner/Pep Rally: Fri. July 1 at 6:30pm
This is always one of everyone's favorite team dinners!
Please go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/904054ea5ad2ba02-mexican1 to RSVP and volunteer.
We appreciate everyone's help and we know evenings after work can be tough, we would appreciate if you can get there a little earlier if you're bringing food so we can be set up and ready to go for the kids at 6:30. Thanks!
A Meet at Pomona Dolphins - AWAY: Sat. July 2 at 9:00am
This could be our toughest meet of the year. Pomona is a very good team. They won their first meet of the season against Covered Bridge by a score of 371 to 183. We have only competed against Pomona twice in the last ten years. In 2014, the Dolphins defeated us 268-251 in a B Division contest. Way back in 2007, PO also beat us 287-267 in a meet that determined who moved down from A Division to B Division (this was the last time we swam in A Division).
Team will meet in The Dump Parking lot at 7:15am and depart at 7:30am. If you are driving on your own, please be at Pomona by 8:00am.
Reminder: we enter the other club as team - all swimmers should gather in parking lot and enter with Coach Elise.
Please see directions which are attached.
Also, please see attachment for meet volunteer assignments. Thank you volunteers!
