Congratulations to
the Splash swimmers who swam at Morgan Hill. Way to tough out
a BIG meet. Way to go SPLASH!
The Gilroy meet has
had a change of venue. The meet will be held at the Morgan
Hill pool on December 12th and 13th.
We are planning to
do a food drive in December. We will be putting bins out at
the beginning of the month. There will be a bin for each age
group. The age group that collects the most food will win a
party. Additional details will be sent out next
week.
Team tryouts for new
swimmers will be held at 9:45 am on Saturday morning. If you
have any friends looking to join a team, please let them
know.
Seniors - The Senior
meet at Diablo Valley is your last chance to qualify for Sectionals
in December. please talk to your coach about signing up for
this meet.
Thank you for your enthusiasm
for volunteering. Please know that there are plenty of
opportunities for getting your hours done throughout the
season. Do not get frustrated if you cannot get on the list
for the locker room. There will be lots of hours available for
upcoming meets and events. Please do not sign up for more than
one slot per family per event. Your slots will be released if
you sign up for more than one prior to them being released for
additional sign ups.
Again, anyone volunteering in
the locker room must be IN the locker room if there are swimmers in
there. Please do not leave prior to all swimmers being out of
the locker room. If there is not adult supervision in
the locker rooms, they will be closed.
All swimmers
must change in the deck bathrooms or at home prior to
practice and in the locker rooms or at home after
practice. Deck changing anywhere is not allowed. All swim
bags will be required to be on the bleachers during
practice. In the event of rain they will be required to be in
the hallway. No bags will be allowed in the deck bathrooms
during practice.
We know there are
times when you all might need to talk to your swimmer’s
coach. As it is difficult for them to coach and give you the
attention you might need on deck during practice, they have
reserved Thursday evenings after practice for parent meeting times
if need be. There will be a sign-up sheet in the office for
anyone wanting to schedule time with a coach.
