​Good afternoon families,

We are at the halfway point through the season, and it has been so much fun!  Here is what you need to know for this week:

1. Swim-a-thon is right around the corner! It is Tuesday, July 16 during both practices.  Our team goal is to raise $5000, so make sure you are raising funds for our team.  The money goes towards our pool rental, supplies, coaching salaries, etc..  If every swimmer made a personal goal of raising $100, we would surpass our team goal like crazy!  If the team raises $5000, the swimmers will be able to do a human sundae on the coaches at the end of season bbq.  
   1. We will need volunteers to count laps at all practices on the 16th!
   2. Money is due by the end of season bbq, but can be turned in to the red box before!
2. We will be ordering team shirts on Wednesday.  Each swimmer receives a shirt with registration, but if a parent would like their own shirt, the cost is $10.  Please order by replying to this email with quantity and sizes no later than Wednesday morning by 9 am.  
3. Team pictures will be on July 22 at afternoon practice.  Swimmers will receive their team shirt at pictures.  Please have swimmers wear black or white shorts.  Picture packets will be placed next to the folders sometime this week.
4. Home swim meet this Saturday.  Be on the lookout for the sign-up genius!
   1. Warm-ups are at 8 with a meet start time of 9 am.  Please do not arrive to the pool earlier than 7:30 am.  
5. If you know of a business who would like to sponsor the team, business sponsorship forms are on the website.  Turn these in to the red box!  Their logo/name will be included in the finals heat sheet, and will be posted on the side of the pool deck.

Blessings,

TST

Good evening families,

You will find attached to this email the agenda and swim-a-thon sponsorship form.  Please make sure you read through the meeting notes if you haven't already, and let us know if you have any questions!

A few reminders for the remainder of the week:

1. Swim meet this Saturday at our own pool.  Warm-ups will be a 8 am with a start time of 8:30 am.  We will need a lot of help to run the meet, so be on the lookout for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
2. Remember to bring a bag of non-meltable candy. The sooner the better! 
3. Registration is still open!  Invite your family and friends to be a part of our summer swim team still!  It is NOT too late to join!
4. Make sure you are communicating with coaches if you will NOT be at a swim meet.  You can talk to them in person, or drop a note in their folder.
5. We will need someone to update our volunteer log book at morning practice tomorrow.  First come first serve!

Blessings on your evening,

Hello! 

Here are a few additional details for this weekend. Make sure to read the email from earlier this week along with this to know everything that you need to know! The only change in info is in regards to the potluck on Sunday. 

• I have added a few slots to the sign up genius. We still need to find at least a couple people to help with parking! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409044aacad2da6fe3-svsl 
• To clarify, we changed volunteer expectations this year. Last year it was four hours during the season and one hour at finals. This year it is just five hours total. So if you have your volunteer time complete it is not a necessity that you volunteer at finals. 
• Please make sure your swimmer wears their black suit and red Turner swim cap. If they have not gotten a new swim cap for this season they can get one from their coach on Friday or Saturday! 
• If you missed picture day tshirts are able to be picked up! Just find Katrina or your swimmer's coach and we'll get you your shirt. 
• It is supposed to be WARM on Saturday. Please make sure your swimmer brings lots of water and is staying hydrated. If they are going to wear sunscreen please make sure they apply it well before getting into the pool. 
• We have three people confirmed for the parents free relay (Joe Greenwood, Jeff Druery, and Mark Miller). Still looking to confirm one more. 
• Concessions will be sold again this year - cash only
• Heat sheets will be for sale for $2 - cash only
• POTLUCK CHANGE
  • We have decided to change our expectation for what families will bring to make sure we have enough food to go around (we all know how much swimmers can eat)
  • Last name A-M bring a main dish and a side dish
  • Last name N-Z bring a main dish and a dessert
  • We will provide paper products
  • Please bring your own drinks and lawn chairs.

We are so thankful for you all and are looking forward to an awesome weekend of swimming and fun!

​Good afternoon families,


Just a few end of week updates:

1. I apologize for not being very clear in the last email. There will only be an optional Monday morning practice. Because of the meet, there is no afternoon optional practice. 

2. Shirts for nonswimmers will be $15 each. I need your size by 4 pm today. You can text or email the size!

3. Swim a thon and sponsorship forms are in your folders. Let’s begin to try and hit our $5000 goal!

Blessing, 

Turner swim team 

Happy Fourth of July!

I hope this email finds you well.  Here's what you need to know for this week:

1. The red volunteer binder is updated! You can record your volunteer hours in it whenever you find it most convenient for you.  😊
2. The team folders are almost ready! They should be ready by the end of tomorrow night's practice. 
3. Each swimmer will receive a team shirt automatically, BUT, if other family members would like to order one, just email your size.  I will send you the cost of one as soon as I know. 
4. Monday's swim meet is at Illahe Country Club.  The address is 3376 Country Club Drive South, Salem, OR 97302.  Warm-ups begin at noon, and will start at 12:30.
5. There will still be practice on Monday, normal times.  Because of the meet that is happening that day, please know that the practice is optional. 

I don't think there is anything else for this week!

Blessings,
