DALE GOODING MEET
December 2nd at Heritage. Deadline for advertising sales
for the Dale Gooding Meet is November 21. We are still in need of
sponsors at all levels. Information sheets are in the box. Parents
please try to sell at least one ad. The more money we bring in for
this meet, the less fundraising we will need to do throughout the
year. Entry deadline will be Thursday, Nov. 16.
A
volunteer sign up sheet for the meets will be by the team box until
all slots are full. Please consider either a morning or afternoon
session so that all parents will have a chance to watch their
swimmer. The more help we have the smoother the meet will run. Also
please consider buying a t-shirt for $3.00 ($4.00 for sizes over
x-large) to wear at the meet. We would like to see all volunteers in
a meet shirt.
There
will also be a sign up sheet for concessions & snacks. In order for
our concession stand to be successful, we will need every family to
supply at least one item that can be sold at the meet - packaged,
semi-nutritious items only. The more items that are donated the
less we will have to purchase from team funds.
If you have
questions, please contact Penny Weber @ 790-3516 or 245- 0273.
PRACTICE
CHANGE
WE WILL BE PRACTICING AT ARTHUR HILL ON MONDAY,
WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY AT THE SAME TIME, THIS WEEK ONLY. WE WILL BE
BACK AT HERITAGE NEXT WEEK.
HOME MEET VOLUNTEERS
This is a heads up. At every Dual or Invitational home meet, we will
need 12 back-up timers. There are also many other jobs that you can
help with so all of our parents get the chance to watch their
son/daughter swim. (IE, Marshalling, Concessions, Ribbons & Timing)
Any help that you are willing to give is greatly appreciated.
HEALTH FORMS
& FEES
There
are still a number of people that have not turned in their health
forms. There are forms in the team box. Please fill it out and give
back to Chet. Also, if you are not on the roster, then you have not
paid your swim team fees. Please do so at the YMCA, ASAP. If you
don’t, they will be sending you a bill in the mail. You will also
not be able to compete in the next meet if you do not take care of
these items. Thank you.
MIDLAND MEET
Midland
entries deadline is Tuesday, November 14th.
CHET’S LANE
Congratulations to the Heritage Girl’s Swim Team for a great runner
up performance at The Valley Championships. These meets really speak
well for our program. Many of the girls participating on the various
high school teams are members of the Saginaw YMCA Sharks Swim Team.
In fact, some races had 2 or 3 of our girls racing in the finals.
We should have some of our girls
returning to the Sharks this week. We do have other girls going to
the State Championships Friday and Saturday. Heritage girls will be
swimming at Oakland University and Nouvel girls will be at Eastern
Michigan University starting at noon on Friday for preliminaries,
finals are on Saturday @ 12 noon. Good Luck to all of you!!!!!
See you on Sunday at MC. As the high school girls’ season is ending,
I would hope all of the high school girls are returning to swim with
the Sharks. Remember, taking 8 months off would have serious impact
on your swimming career. The sharks also have a summer program which
is so very important for high school girls season, you should swim
this summer if not year round.
The boy’s season will be beginning
November 20th. All of our boys are permitted to swim two
meets outside of their high school season. This would start the day
of your first meet. Remember boys, you must have swam in three YMCA
meets & all of your times from high school season count towards any
of the championship meets…just as the girls times did. In fact we
will need someone to help Beno with practice this Friday 6:30 – 8:00
pm at Arthur Hill. Any questions on school issues, please ask!!
Boys, you still can come to practice, and help out with little kids
and at the meets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would
like to see you help with home meets as long as it does not conflict
with your high school events. Good luck in your season. Please stay
in touch, and remember we still have meets after your season is
over.
