Finals, Practice and Party

Hello Marlins,

Congrats on a super Saturday at Time Trials! Great job swimmers! To see the results of all three divisions, click HERE

This week we will continue practice for all who made it to Finals. If you are unsure, check the link at the left or come tonight and your coaches can tell you what you are swimming. Tonight will be practice as usual. Then for Tues-Friday, some will swim a different schedule - See the white board at the pool and/or see your coaches for more information.

Then Finals will be this Saturday at Golden West High School in Visalia. Please be at the pool at 7:30. We will NOT be sitting where we did for our meet last time. We will be sitting on the grass area just west of that (where some of us parked last time). Parking is ONLY in the front of the school in the parking lot. Good luck swimmers. Swim Hard~Swim Fast!

Our TEAM PARTY will be Sunday the 18th from 2-5 at the college pool. We will be having an ice cream and fruit bar. If you cannot bring what you signed up for, please email us ASAP so we can purchase that item. We will have family swim and a family relay, treats and awards. We will also elect the Marlins Board for 2011, so be sure to cast your vote. If you would still like to nominate someone you may do so until this Friday, July 16th (either at the pool or via email). However, voting will only take place in person at the party on the 18th. There will be one vote per family.

Also, some of you still have ribbons to pick up. Please get them at practice. If you are not practicing anymore, please get them at the party. Please feel free to email any questions you might have.

Have a great day!

2) Time Trials and Finals:
Time Trials and Finals information has been emailed to all email addresses and willalso be available at practices. If your swimmer has qualified or you think they will qualify, please read the event information. If you want to order a TShirt for either/both events, you must place orders ASAP. The deadline for TShirts/Programs for Time Trials is this Friday, July 2nd and the deadline for Finals is July 11th. You may place your order and make payment to the Reedley Marlins. We will place a bulk order. If you place an order and your swimmer does not end up qualifying, you may cancel your order before we pay the host teams.

4) Reedley Marlins Board Nominations: We will begin accepting nominations for the 2011 Board starting Friday, July 2nd.In the lefthand sidebar, under the Coaches Corner, you can click on the "Board Tasks" link for a "brief" description of how the 2010 Board divided the positions/duties among the 5 of us (which are totally amenable). If you are interested in running or nominating someone else, you will be able to do so starting Friday.


5) Thank you for helping us to keep the pool area clean both at practice and during meets. Make sure that when you pick up your things you do not grab anyone elses belongings. We have had some towels, goggles, etc go missing. If you do find an item, please notify a coach and/or board member and we can put it in the red lost and found bin.


SEE YOU TONIGHT!

Volunteer Sign-Ups

Parents, Thanks so much to those of you who have already volunteered at both home and away meets. Some of you have even put in more than the time we asked for (2 home meets/1 away). Thank you , thank you, thank you!
If you have not signed up to do your part, please see a board member at practice. There are still many slots open to time, record, help in the snack bar, or bring snacks for hospitality. We need every family to help in one way or another.
A HUGE thank you to our amazing, dedicated and hard working deck crew: Our Starter, Adam, Computer Ladies, Ribbon Gals, Hospitality Team, Head Timer, Stroke and Turn Judges and our announcer, Mr. Denton, who does a fabulous job keeping us all informed. We couldn't run successful meets without you!

Notes and Updates 6/16/10

Hello Marlins,


CONGRATULATIONS on a great 1st meet last night! You all did so well. Thanks too to all of you who helped time and record.

Tomorrow is our first home meet and we will need even more help :) There are many spots still open. If you would like to help, please email reedleymarlins@yahoo.com.

We appreciate your patience tonight while we sorted out pool conflicts.

Swimmers should be at the college pool Thursday, June 17th at 5:30 in order to get numbers, warm up, etc.
Please use the open area in front of the snack bar to camp. Please DO NOT CAMP IN THE BLEACHERS. We ask that you watch your swimmer swim their events and then go back to where you are sitting to make room for parents in each of the events. Also, the college has requested that we do not camp by the gym and Tiger bushes area. That means that all families should not go beyond where the bathrooms end.

WE will have a snack bar with baked potatoes, drinks, and all sorts of goodies. Jamba Juice will also be present and Marlins will recieve 20% of the sales.

TShirts arrived this evening and look great! They are $13.00.

If anyone would like to help set up for the meet, we will start setting up chairs, etc. around 4:45.

See you all tomorrow.

Lots happening on the 14th!
