Important Announcements

Hello Marlins,

Just a couple of important announcements and reminders for you today.
1) Reminder-Wednesdays, June 30th and July 7th practice schedule:


6 and under, 7/8s, 9/10s and 11/12s at CITY POOL
7-8pm - 6 and under and 7/8s
8-9pm - 9/10 and 11/12s
13 and up at Reedley College (from 8-9 pm)


The bathrooms will be open, but the City has requested that we exit the bathrooms from the pool side. DO NOT exit out through the office/front doors. We also need your help to pick up whatever you bring with you and have been asked to remind you that NO PETS can be brought into the pool area.


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.


3) Our End-of-the-Year Team party will be Sunday, July 18th from 2-5pm. More information coming soon!


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!

FINALS INFO

I know we have not even discussed Time Trials yet, but FINALS info is here. Please click on this link to view more information. There you will find directions, warm up times, etc. IF YOU WANT A TShirt for FINALS, you will see the information there as well. We will be taking team orders for TShirts up to this Friday, July 2nd. After that, you can purchase shirts at the meet.

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!
Thanks too to the BEST Coaching staff ever! Our swimmers are doing great thanks to 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!
