A special thanks to everybody who contributed to our Halloween Party for the Bronze Group last night, especially Puja, Sharon & Erica at the Front Desk, who put together the goody bags for everybody! All those gooey, sugary treats generously provided by the parents were quite a hit as well. The "bobbing for apples" proved to be quite an entertaining way to wrap things up. A good time was had by all, and we're looking forward to hosting a similar get-together after our "mini-meet" at the end of the session. Thaks again to everybody for helping with the set-up and the clean-up afterwards!
REMINDER...
We are unable to run our "mock meet" this Sunday, as the computer has yet to arrive back from the Colorado Timing repair facility. We'll let everybody know if we're able to reschedule.
Have a safe Halloween!

Week of October 24th, 2010
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
This just in...
We are NOT going to have our "Mock Meet" this Sunday as we had originally planned. Unfortunately, the computer has not yet been returned from Colorado Timing Systems, and with it being Halloween on Sunday, we don't anticipate many of the younger swimmers skipping out on Trick or Treating in order to be at the pool for our meet. I'm sorry if this inconveniences anybody.
We'll let you know when we can go ahead and run the meet once the computer is back.
I hope everybody enjoys all sorts of Halloween festivities!

P.S. remember to bring in your report cards so I know how you're doing in school!

OCTOBER NEWS
BIG NEWS...
As of Monday, October 11, 2010, SMAC has been officially granted a charter within USA Swimming! This is great news! We can now start the process of registering our athletes and competing in meets! I will be meeting with the registration chairperson this weekend to get up to speed with the process here in MD (it's a little different in each LSC). My goal is to be able to swim in a meet the weekend before Thanksgiving; I'll post information on that meet here, and on the bulletin board across from the balcony, later this week.
Speaking of the BALCONY...
The balcony is OPEN! Parents are encouraged to sit in the balcony if they're going to be staying at the pool during their child's workout. REMINDER...as per USA Swimming insurance regulations, NO PARENTS ARE ALLOWED ON THE POOL DECK AT ANY TIME DURING WORKOUT. Please use the balcony if you're going to be staying at the pool during your child's workout. Thank you for understanding and adhering to this policy.
BRONZE GROUP - there will be a small Halloween-themed party for the Bronze Group following workout on Thursday, October 28, downstairs in the Conference Room. It will last until about 8:00 p.m. More details to follow next week...
SENIOR GROUP- there will be a College Night this coming Sunday, October 17, from 3-4 p.m. upstairs in the meeting room for all high school Juniors and Seniors in the Platinum & Gold groups. Parents and athletes are encouraged to attend, and start learning about the college recruiting process.
Lastly...
We're hoping to run a "mock meet" here at the pool towards the end of October. This will give everybody a chance to swim their races here at home before we go off to our first meet, as well as a chance for the pool staff to run the timing system prior to any of the meets they'll be hosting this year. The actual date depends on when the Colorado Timing System is fixed and returned to the facility. More info to follow next week.
REMINDER...everybody should be bringing in their report cards for the coaches to review!
We're off to a good start, everybody keep up the good work! Any questions, feel free to email me at erikcollins19@gmail.com
