NEW Parents' Meeting
Monday June 11 @ 5:30pm under upper pavilion.
We'll discuss the upcoming team events and what to expect once the dual meet season begins.
Time Trials - Team Meeting & Team Breakfast
Saturday June 16
All swimmers except tad polls must report for time trial warmups no later than 7:30am. The trials will start at approximately 8:15am. Tad polls will not be swimming, but should come to the team mtg and breakfast - see below. NOTE: Tadpoles are those just learning to swim who cannot yet complete a lap of the pool. Please see Coach Julia's email from today for info on how the trials will be run.
Attached, please find a list of volunteers for the trials. Thank you volunteers!!!
A team meeting will be held immediately following the trials on the pool deck before going to breakfast. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN PAST YEARS - Coach Julia wants to address all of the swimmers and parents before breakfast. No swimmers should line up for breakfast until after the team mtg. Those not participating in the trials should come to the pool at 9:00 am.
The team breakfast will follow the team meeting. Please signup and volunteer to bring goodies at https://www.signupgenius.com/tabs/93d7edc0fa4cbee2-greenwood2
Team Dinner - Pep Rally: Pizza Party
Friday June 22 @ 6pm under upper pavilion
1st Meet of the Season vs. Tavistock Hills Tidal Wave - HOME
Saturday June 23 @ 9am
All swimmers must report by 7:30am. Please see Coach Julia's email from today for more info on the meet.
Interesting Fact (or useless info depending on your perspective): GP's first-ever TriCo swim meet was also held on June 23 back in 1973 - a victory over Tenby Chase, who we will face in the second meet of the season.
Volunteers Needed: Team Dinners/Celebrations and B-Meets
We still need a few volunteers for some of the team dinners/celebrations and we need a couple parents to help stage the Wed. night B Meets.
More specifically we need the following:
- 2 families for the Tri-County Pizza Party
- 2 families for the Labor Day Frog Farewell Party
- A family or families to run/manage Frogs Cafe for A and B Meets
- A parent(s) to run/manage the 50/50 fundraiser at A and B Meets
- Team Moms: 9/10 Girls and 15-18 Girls
No cooking is involved in any of these celebrations - all you have to do is to set up, refill/clean as you go and clean up at the end. Please email Kim Morris at kmorris@monroetwp.k12.nj.us if you're interested in volunteering for any of the celebrations or email me if you are interested in helping stage the B meets.
