SLSC Swim-a-thon March 25th 2009

Mark your calendars! Dig out those Swim-a-thon packages! Get Pledges and collect them!

Again this year we are offering a prize to the swimmer that raises the most money through the Swim a Thon.The prize will be an underwater MP-3 player.

We will be having our annual Swim A Thon on March 25th, 2009 followed by a pot luck supper for swimmers and families. All swim levels will be swimming on this day. Location within the building is to be determined.

The potluck will be starting at 6 pm. SLSC will be providing a main dish (pasta) and we ask that each family bring their favorite dish. Food can be coordinated through the Social Committee of Leslie McCue and Leslie Jowsey.

Looking forward to seeing all the swimmers, coaches and families participating and enjoying the event. Thanks from Sean Thompson

[Doug adds the following....] Please collect as much as you can. You may recall from a previous announcement that our grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation was predicated on increased fundraising including the Swim-a-thon. The email announcement to member was sent on February 4, 2009. Thanks.

Thanks to Parents

Just wanted to thank all the parents who assisted at short notice for the time trial - it went well.

 

Also thanks for the assistance with the office move.  There were some great ideas how to improve the look of the new office - It certainly could do with some help - we will be planning some working bees to jazz it up in March when there are no swim meets.  Let me know if you would like to help.

 

Once again - thanks

Wanted: Tunes for meets

In preparation for the swim meet season in April through June, we would like to assemble music playlists of songs to play at meets.  We want three categories of tunes:

• WARM-UP - to be played in the 1-hour warm-up period prior to the start of the meet
• ON-THE-BLOCKS - for "Evening Finals" to be played in ~30-second clips during swimmers clearing the pool and next swimmers getting on the blocks.  These tunes are the quickly-recognizable ones.
• INTERMISSION - to be played in between sessions.  Likely some easy-listening favourites could fit in this category.

While current favourites will change with the times, if you can identify any tunes which are applicable to swimming that would be great.  For example: Take me to the River; Every Breath you Take (The Police); I Go Swimming (Peter Gabriel); etc.

So, swimmers and parents, please send music requests to the email address eastick+swimtunes@gmail.com with subject line "swimtunes".

BTW - if anyone has a studio version of "I Go Swimming" by Peter Gabriel, let me know.  I only have a live version.
