Eariler this season I sent out an e-mail about the National YMCA Virtual Invitational Meet with information to follow.  Well here it is,  we are able to hold the meet at the Hanover pool on Wednesday October 21st.

First I need to reach out to you as parents for your time.  We NEED VOLUNTEERS.

We will need these positions: Head Offical,  Stroke and Turn Officals,  Timers at least 12 people,  Parking attendent,  a runner which collects the sheets after each event  and if interested in learning the Colorado system at least 2 people ( Julie will be running the system and willing to teach).  This is a GREAT way to learn how meets work and a chance to help your child’s team.

We are offering for Mini and Glod groups 3 events per swimmer.  For all Age group  swimmers we are offering 3 events per swimmer.   For the Senior groups and for National swimmers there are only 2 events per swimmer.

If your child wants to swim in this YMCA Virtual Meet please let us know no later than Monday.  This will be held during practice times so it is real important we know how many swimmers want to swim.

Please have your kids at the Hanover Pool on Wednesday the 21st of October, at 4:30 pm. There will be someone there to welcome you and send you to the lobby.  From there your children will be entering the pool through the emergency door through the lobby.   We will have warm ups starting at 5:00 pm. and the meet will start right at 6:00 pm.  This is a great chance for the younger swimmers who have not yet been able to swim at a meet to swim.  Also a HUGE chance for the whole team to come together.  This meet will only be our team, but thre results will be shared with the rest of the YMCA’s who will be taken part in this from across the country.

I am very excited to see our whole team come together to be apart of History, this is the FIRST time the YMCA’s across the country is trying a meet like this.

The event list will be e-mailed out by Julie.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I was at a retreat over the last couple of days and learned that what ever we can do to help really makes a difference. I like making a difference.
