Swim Team Week 6
Hello Swim Team Families!
We have quite a few updates for you, so please read through the entire email!
Meet Results vs. The Sharks
I am attaching results of our meet against the Sharks to this email. We came in second, but considering we brought a much smaller team to the meet than they did and we posted 62 improved times, I'm still very proud of our team!
BGP Stars 218 to Sharks 382
Girls: BGP 92 to Sharks 210
Boys: BGP 126 to Sharks 172
Practice Schedule
Morning practice began yesterday! We will continue with this schedule through the remainder of the season. 6&unders will practice at 8am, 7/8s will practice at 8:30am, and 9+ will practice at 9am. Afternoon practice is also available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please note that this practice runs while the pool is open and therefore we only have two lanes available. As a result, this practice is meant to be more as a supplement, and not a regular practice. Head here for afternoon practice times!
Our next swim meet is this Saturday against Westchester. Please login and submit your RSVPs (we need both Yes's and No's!!) by Thursday to give us plenty of time to create all of our meet entries. We're hoping to bring our biggest team yet to this meet! More information regarding this meet will go out on Friday. Arrival and check-in is at 8am. We need all swimmers checked in before our warm-up which will begin at 8:30am. Meet will begin at 9am.
After this weekend, our next meet is the BSL Relay Invitational that we host at our pool on Wednesday, June 12. I may be biased, but I think it's the most fun meet of the year! If you already know your availability, please RSVP now. Because we have such a tight turnaround between these meets and because it takes a lot longer to create our relay entries, we will need to know who is swimming by Monday next week. You can RSVP for all remaining meets here. Check-in for this meet will be at 3pm and the meet will begin at 4pm.
To give our swimmers a chance to rest before and after the relay meet, there will be no practice on Wednesday 6/12 or Thursday 6/14. Practice WILL be held on Monday, Tuesday, and Fun Friday!
T-shirts and photos will continue to be at the pool during practices for pickup.
Don't forget to put out their yard signs! If you don't have one yet, head to the team store and the spirit committee will deliver to your doorstep! Let's show our BGP Stars spirit all around the neighborhood!!
We are still waiting on the league to provide our ribbons for the season. I'm pushing hard to get these ASAP, I promise! We will have these at the pool as soon as we can. Please remind your swimmer to take the ribbons only and leave the envelope.
