Gliders,

Congrats on a great week 1 of practice! A few issues to start the week, but we finished strong! This week, as Coach Kelly sent out over the weekend, we are modifying the practice schedule a bit to spread the swimmers out a bit. Here are the new practice times:

8 and Under: 4:00 – 4:30 p.m
9 to 10 Years Old: 4:30 - 5:15 p.m
11 to 18 Years Old: 5:15 - 6:15 p.m.

Volunteers

Please make sure to sign up for your volunteer slots on the website. To sign up, go to https://gagliders.swintopia.com, select the Calendar drop down and choose 2021 Swim Meets. On the right of each meet is a green "Job Signup" button. Click that link to take you to the open jobs. Remember, we are asking each family to sign up for at least 4 slots.

I am in critical need of the following key roles:

Head Timer: Would only need to work the 3 home meets. I would be open to splitting the role between 2 people. Head Timer requires a review of a slide show and then an online quiz. Easy to do!

Strokes and Turns: I need at least 3 more people to volunteer as a S&T judge. Training is provided via Zoom on June 6 at 7:00 PM. Preregistration is required, but I can provide the details to those that are interested.

Head Table: Looking for 2 people willing to work the entire meet for home meets only. Job provides shade and snacks! You are still able to see your swimmers swim! Training is June 2 (Wednesday) at 7:00 pm via Zoom. Preregistration is required, but I can provide the details to those that are interested.

Verifier: Looking for 1 more person willing to work the entire meet for either a home or away meets. Job provides shade and snacks for home meets and usually away meets! You are still able to see your swimmers swim! No training, but attention to detail is a must!

Computer Training: Looking for 2 people to work the first home meet as the computer operator. There is training tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5:30 for anyone that is interested. Shade and snacks provided! You are still able to see your swimmers swim!

Please reach out to Mark at [email protected] or [email protected] if you can help with these specific roles!

Thanks,

Mark
