Recap- Swim Meet Lakeshore vs Westmount July 13 2016

SHOREswimmerGood morning to all!

We finally had our first home meet! We’re excited to announce a second win for the season! The final score- 576 points for Lakeshore versus Westmount with 480. A big congratulations all round! We had a great turn out with a good energy in the air but it certainly was a scorcher! Thank you so much to all volunteers who came out to help despite the incredible heat. Next week-Wednesday July 20– we’ll be heading to CAVIP for our second AWAY meet- for those who don’t know… this pool is in Ile Perrot! I will be starting my search again for volunteers for this meet so please write me an email and let me know if you can help out! Again, we welcome anyone who would like to time- no experience necessary! My email address is: [email protected]. Wishing everyone an enjoyable weekend!

Message regarding volunteer recruitment for swim meets and no swim meet this week!

Swimmeet-Illustration-wideHello to all! Firstly, I would like to clarify that we DO NOT have a swim meet today, July 6- it’s a BYE week (meaning we skip a week!). We’ll have our second swim meet on Weds July 13 at HOME- Lakeshore vs Westmount.

It would be a great relief to start filling up the volunteer roster as soon as possible as we will need over 20 volunteers for this meet alone. I will need to rely on people responding via email as I will not be able to reach out to all individuals at the pool before next week! Thank you to those who have already been in touch wth me!

We are so fortunate to have a handful of loyal volunteers who help out on a very regular basis. We would love to recruit many additional volunteers to ensure a continuous thread of experienced people this summer and in years to come. Our goal is to have each family with children on swim team to volunteer for at least one meet throughout the summer. We’re also asking for help from any member that would be willing to lend a hand. We welcome anyone and everyone who would like to learn how to time! The training will last about 3 minutes:) If you have a partner that you would like to share the timing with, we’re happy to accommodate this- rather than timing for 3 hours, you could split it and do 1.5 hours each. We would also like to do some in house training for specific official roles so we have back up for times when current volunteers are on vacation.

Our summer swim meets are a very special tradition that many of us remember from our own childhood. They will undoubtedly create lasting memories for generations to come. Getting involved is so much fun, meaningful to the swimmers and a great way to meet people within your community! Please forward me your name, phone number, email address and desired position ASAP for next week and if by chance you can book in for other meets to come, it would very much appreciated.

Thank you!
