Swim meet with Kleptz YMCA
I need you to make sure you can attend the Kleptz swim meet on Saturday, January 28 at 5:00 pm. This will be a 12 and under swim meet. All preteam swimmers are welcome to swim in this meet. I will put more details on the team web site.
Thanks
I appreciated everyone's help for the swim meet yesterday. The swimmers did a great job and swam their best. I also enjoyed the team party we had tonight at the YMCA. Thanks to those parents who took the time to prepare for this event.

Pictures
I would like to rotate a few pictures through the webpage and put them on the bulletin board in the YMCA hallway. I need about 6-10 pictures of two or more of the swimmers doing anything except swimming laps. I would like group shots in the pool, playing games together, group poses, etc. Please email these to me.

Practices
The first HS Home Swim Meet will be on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. This means that there will not be practice that evening. We will also not have practice on the following dates: , Tuesday, December 13, 2011; Tuesday, January 10, 2012 and Tuesday, January 17, 2012.

Goal Forms
I have these for many swimmers. However, if I do not, please do so. Thanks

Thank You
Let me know if there are any questions. We have 45 swimmers this year. The Team Unify has enriched the registration process for everyone. I am really impressed with how hard the swimmers are working during practice and in the swim meets. Thank you for all of your support and patience.

Upcoming Meets
The Team Unify program has been working well. It is important that you pay attention to what you are doing when signing up for three day meets. You should read the attached meet information document so you know when the sessions are scheduled. I would also appreciate it if you would mark down if you are declining to go to the meet also. Thanks for your patience with this program.

Paying your team and meet fees
It is important that you make sure your team and meet fees are paid up when registering for the swim meets. We will withhold your entries if theses fees are not paid. Yesterday was the day that you were supposed to commit to the team, and pay for the whole season or set up the payment plan. Contact Cara Roach or Kim Burgess if there are any questions.

Talking to coaches at swim meets
Please remember that your child needs to talk to the coaches when he or she finishes swimming an event. The coaches will have some valuable information to share with your child.

High School Swimmers
High school swimmers are allowed to practice with us all season. In fact we want them to. They can swim in YMCA meets up until the first high school meet. In order to swim in YMCA championships, all swimmers must swim in at least three YMCA swim meets.

Pull Buoys and Flippers
These items are not required for 11 and older swimmers. However, I strongly encourage these swimmers to get these two items.

Officials Clinics
I appreciate that some of you are interested in becoming officials. There are not many training sessions left. The details are on the SW Ohio YMCA Website under clinics.

Purple File Folder Box
Each family will have a file folder in this box that is kept at the front desk. We will keep invoices, notes and ribbons and other information in these folders.

Competitive swimming can be an excellent preparation for life in many respects. It teaches children to work hard, work intelligently and to persevere. It is an exciting sport for children of all ages.

The winter season runs September - March. Practices are held in the Y pool between 6:00p and 7:30p Please see our bulletin board for details.

Swim Team is for Full Members only. Clinton County YMCA Fins Swim Team is part of the Southwest Ohio Cluster League.

This year we added a Pre-Team for more information about this please give us a call.
