Important Conference Info., Results, and 24 Hour Fundraiser

Morning Country Club Swim & Dive and Happy Birthday Seamus, 

We would like to Congratulate our Swim and Dive Teams on an UNDEFEATED season. The excitement around the pool continues to build for our Championship Meets. There has been a new page added to the blog with all the information needed for Swim and Dive Conference,http://slccswimanddive.blogspot.com/p/conference-championships-swim-and-dive.html. While we can only enter three athletes per event into conference we invite all swimmers and divers to finish the remainder of the season practicing with the team. We will be entering alternate swimmers into the meet in case one of our swimmers is unable to participate, alternates should treat the meet like they are racing. There will be swim practice on Monday, August 3rd at its regularly scheduled time. Also with Swim Conference conveniently located at Olympus High School we would love to see as many athletes and families cheering as possible, especially Wednesday evening as it is our final swims of the Summer and the Coaches even race at the end. 

Meet Results

Swim and Dive meet results from Monday's away tri-meet at Tennis Club can be found on the blog, http://slccswimanddive.blogspot.com/p/results-and-records.html. 

Swim Conference Parent Volunteers

All families swimming at Conference are expected to have a volunteer representative AT LEAST once per day. We, SLCC, have some easy and great spectating volunteer positions. Olympus Aquatics spectating is poor and NO parents are allowed on the deck, so the best seat in the house will be as a meet marshall and timer volunteer. Timing we know how to do, and meet marshals will stand at doors to make sure only swimmers, coaches, and volunteers are on the pool deck. Sign Up to Volunteer HERE. We MUST have all our volunteer spots filled by Wednesday, July 29th. 

Volunteers must check-in each morning between 7:30 - 8:00 AM and in the evening between 4:30-5:00pm. The Volunteer Check-in will be located inside the Aquatics Center, downstairs in the northwest corner. No street shoes are allowed on the pool deck! No food is allowed on the pool deck!

Conference Sign Ups

Swim Conference Sign Ups can be done at the pool or online (http://slccswimanddive.blogspot.com/p/swimmer-and-diver-meet-sign-up.html). ALL ATHLETES MUST BE SIGNED UP BY SATURDAY JULY 25th @ MIDNIGHT. In addition to signing up athletes must of swam in at least 3 meets and dove in 2. As a team we are only allowed to enter 3 athletes per event and 1 relay per event, for both swimming and diving.  Each team is allowed unlimited 6 and under entries. If you are unsure as to whether your is eligible or fast enough sign them up anyway and us coaches will figure it out.

Divers please see Haley's message below about Dive Conference.

24 Hour Swim Fundraiser

In addition to our 24 Hour Swim Banquet and Party we will be hosting a 24 Hour Fundraiser. The 24 Hour Swim-A-Thon is a fundraiser to raise money for The Children's Center. The Swim-A-Thon will be held from Friday August 7th at 8am until Saturday August 8th @ 8am. Our goal is to have at least one swimmer in the water during the 24 hour period, with the exception being during the banquet and party portion of our 24 Hour Celebration, and to fundraise $4,000. Pledge forms and information about the fundraiser and The Children's Center can be found on the blog, http://slccswimanddive.blogspot.com/p/24-hour-swim-fundraiser.html. 

Message from Haley about Dive Conference

Good morning Country Club Swim and Dive Team,

     As we get closer to Dive Conference there are some pieces of information I would like to share with all of you. As you know, Dive Conference will be held at Pepperwood Monday August 3rd. The eight and under warm ups will begin right at three o'clock and the schedule becomes tentative from there. Please arrive about an hour before your scheduled warm up just in case an event ends early. Below I have attached a flyer with the tentative schedule and some information about practices. Pepperwood has been kind enough to close off their diving well for practice the weekend before conference. I will be attending both practices so those of you who would like to practice on their boards are more than welcome to come get an extra practice in. The times for these practices are listed on the flyer as well. Please let me know if your child would like to attend one or both of these practices. 

Like Swimming, we can only send three boys and three girls from each age group to conference. I am very proud of all my athletes and their accomplishments this season. There have been great improvements made in practices and wonderful dives executed in meets. The eligible divers representing us at conference are as follows:
