Practice Canceled Tuesday 4/20

Practice is CANCELED!


On another note, it was great to see so many parents attend the meetings last night. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the board at practice or through email. If your question is for a coach, please let a board member know and they will ask the coach to come and meet with you after practice is over. For insurance purposes we ask that parents stay off the deck (except when timing and recording at meets).

We are excited about our fundraisers this year. While you are not required to participate, we do encourage each swimmer to do their best to bring in at least $50.00. We fund raise to help keep your costs down. The board was asked if parents could just donate money and not fund raise. Of course, we would never turn down money for our team. But again, our goal here is to keep your costs down to a minimum.

We were also asked about doing a swim-a-thon this year. We are not going to have a swim-a-thon. Our belief is that in tough economic times people are more reluctant to fund raise. So, if they are going to sponsor a fundraiser, they want to "get something" from it. That is why we chose some inexpensive, unique treats to sell. In addition, we offered advertising opportunities for businesses to promote their name and product.

If you choose not to participate, please return your packet to a board member so we can hand out to someone else. But we encourage you to consider supporting the Reedley Marilns by selling a few apples, a few bags of popcorn, or getting your place of employment to purchase a banner or ad. Thank you for supporting our swimmers.
