Swim-A-Thon

 Swim-A-Thon packets were distributed last week - check your swimmer's folder.  All swimmers received one packet.  All envelopes must be returned.  Please read through the information, and let me know if you have any questions or can help with the after swimming party.

***BONUS***BONUS***BONUS***

 If you make or exceed your fund raising goal and return your envelope BEFORE the Swim-A-Thon, your name will be entered into a drawing for a free 30 minute swim lesson!  Coaches Josh Morgan, Josh Hyde, and Gunther have all donated 30 minute lessons.  Envelopes with donations may be returned anytime (the sooner the better) to the Swim-A-Thon folder in the box poolside.

Whether it was outstanding performances in the water or dodging flying swim cap water bombs from the 10 and under boys, FISH athletes and coaches had an exciting weekend.

FISH QUALIFIER 2010 - Feb. 6th through 7th

Dear FISH Parents:


This is the second meet of the season hosted by the FISH.  As many of you have already experienced at the November Open, hosting a meet is a team effort and requires a lot of support from all parents.  The November Open went very smoothly thanks to all of you and we hope to be able to count on you again to make the FISH Qualifier equally successful.  


In order to organize the meet, we are asking you to sign up as a volunteer and to sign up for a food donation.  As hosting team,  we need every swimmer's parent to support us in both efforts.  Please sign up for 2 work assignments and for one food donation.  As indicated on the volunteer sign up sheet (see below and at the bulletin board at Spring Hill RECenter,) the jobs are assigned per session.  Be prepared to stay for the entire session even though your child might finish his or her events before the session ends.  This way we will assure that we have enough officials to run a proper timeline without major interruptions.


You can either sign up at the bulletin board at Spring Hill or simply send Diane Ellor an email and let her know what you would like to do and what you would like to donate. The sign up sheets will be kept current so that you will know what is needed.  


As for filling specific officials positions, please contact our Officials' Chair Al Meilus with any questions you might have.


Your commitment to support the meet will guarantee that your swimmer will be entered in the meet.  We need every parent's support.


I am looking forward to working with you at the meet on both days.


Best regards,

Monika Paris
