Geneva Y Swim Team: Welcome

Returning swimmers!! 

Remember you must renew your USS membership for 2011.  You can renew now for next year.  Please don’t wait!  New swimmers should register for USS as well. Forms are at the front desk or online at WI Swimming.  Please turn in a completed form and a check for $55 (made out to LG YMCA).  We will send in all registrations.  Many of you have taken care of this already, but if not, please do so soon.

Meet sign-up sheets 

Meet sign-up sheets are circulating-please keep track of the deadlines.  We seldom have any leeway when you miss a deadline.

Approximately one week before a meet we post the entries on the Team BB in the pool area.  Please check and insure that you are listed and that your events are correct.  This posting will also list any relays your swimmer will be in.  The white board in the pool room will indicate the upcoming meet with warm up times and also designate what age groups are swimming am/pm.  Please check the white board to confirm times and locations, etc.  We often do not get w/u times until the Wed. or Thur prior to the meet.  I also hope to post this info here on the web site.

 Mailbox up and Running

Our mail box system is up and running.  The box is by the front desk in the lobby.  Please make a habit of checking your slot every practice.  All future meet sign-ups, ribbons, newsletters, etc will go into the slots.

We still have some equipment for sale.  Level 3&4 swimmers should have a snorkel.  We sell them for $32—a good price, and we make a couple dollars for the team as well (cash only). 

Younger swimmers are encouraged to buy snorkels, but do not have to buy one at this time.  We also have some lime green mesh equipment bags for sale-$15.

Get ‘em while they last! 

I would like to settle on a team suit.  I think we will select a modestly priced racing suit that will stay in production over the long haul.  I would also like to explore team warm-ups as well.  We have lime green latex caps ($4) for sale and silicone caps as well ($10). 

New swimmers will receive a latex cap at their first swim meet.I plan to have a team meeting soon, but hope to have the suit selected before we meet.

Please don’t hesitate to ask questions.  Please remember to stay current with your entry sheets.
