Shouts from Steve - October 14, 2009
Good Wednesday Morning:
Aqualaps - If you have not gotten your folder/information, please pick it up at the Y. The coaches have been handing them out. The box with packets will be in the lobby. This is a very important fundraiser for us, and we need everyone involved. Come Sunday, October 25 (1:00 p.m., at the Y), you will see how very important this is to our team, as a fundraiser, and, much more importantly, a team builder. And remember, fees from this event will pay for all entries to our scheduled Y meets, and each Aqualaps participant will receive a latex SCAY cap.
Aqualaps Practices - As we do every year, we will have All-Team practices for Aqualaps. These will be the next two Fridays (October 16 and 23), from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. These are for all SCAY swimmers.
Williamsport - Entries are due by Friday, October 16. No fees are required. All you need to do is to complete a Meet Entry Form, located in the Y, and place in the meet entry folder. The meet is Sunday, November 1. The meet information is pinned to our bulletin board.
USA Registration - Also due this Friday. You MUST download the registration form from the Mid-Atlantic website (maswim.org), attach a check for the fee (payable to SCAY) and place in my folder. I will not process any registration with out the form and check.
Meet Schedule - I will get this to you as soon as I can. There is one situation I need to work out before I send it to you. The meets we have coming up before Thanksgiving are Williamsport (Nov 1), SCAY Invite (Nov 8), and the Bloomsburg Invite (Nov 14. Our dual meet schedule begins December 5.
Halloween - Remember, our annual Halloween Costume Contest and bobbing for apples is Thursday, October 29, from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. There will not be any other practices this night. The categories for costumes are:
Funniest - Scariest - Most Imaginative. 1st place prizes will be awarded in each category.
Special Note - I was talking with the person who does our shirts and team wear the other day. We were talking about parents and I told her that I am very lucky to have the parent group on SCAY. You guys let us coach and provide amazing support for we coaches and the swimmers. Thanks for all you do.
I’m tearing up………SP
