Swim Team Summer Email #2

Hi Otter fans,

There’s a lot of info here but the most important thing is RSVP ASAP for Tuesday’s meet. Pro tip, if you know your summer schedule, just RSVP for all the meets while you’re in there. You can always do another one later if your plans change- we’ll take the one with the latest timestamp.

Read on for more info…

Tues Jul 1 is our first away meet, at Marine Hills. Please RSVP for your swimmer, it’s due tonight but I’ll keep the form open until noon tomorrow. Gates open at 4:00 and swimmers should aim to arrive at Marine Hills (it’s in Federal Way, allow for traffic) no later than 5:00 pm to be in the pool for 5:15 pm warmup, the racing starts at 6 pm. Marine Hills is a shady pool surrounded by woods, and it gets chilly (and mosquito-ey) once the sun sets—bring warm clothes and bug spray. Marine Hills shared that their meet theme will be USA / 4th of July and we are welcome to join in the patriotic fun.

Fri Jul 4 No practice.

After this holiday week, things are going to ramp up, so here’s a peek at what is coming up the following week:

Tues Jul 8 Home meet vs. Olympic View. The theme will be Pirates & Mermaids. Please RSVP by midnight Sunday. Also, please please please sign up to volunteer. We need help to make swim meets happen and EVERY family should volunteer a minimum of four hours per swimmer, which means at least one meet. Gates open at 4:00, warm up is at 4:45p, big team cheer at 5:30, meet starts at 6 pm.

Thurs Jul 10 Away meet @ Normandy Park. RSVP by midnight Tuesday.

Sat Jul 12 is another morning swim clinic. It starts at 8:00 am for age 11+ and 9:00 am for 10 & under. No RSVP, just show up.

Sat Jul 12 at 6p, we are going to the DubSea Fishsticks game, up in White Center — this is a chance to hang out with your teammates and coaches on dry land, and get to know your fellow otters a little better! Don’t delay buying your game ticket… games often sell out as the date gets closer. It is also Dick’s Drive in Night so you’ll have great food options.

That’s all for now. BTW- I realized I forgot to share Red vs. Blue meet results. They are attached. Meet results for league meets are posted online on the GSSSL Website if you want to look those up.

Oh- and if you haven’t already, you have until Tuesday 7/1 to Order Team Photos passcode: AH2025.

Hope everyone has a fun and safe Fourth!
