2016 Champs Info about practices (and team photos)
Hi Storm Families,
I hope that everyone enjoyed their time off this weekend. Congrats to all of our Storm swimmers! I have attached the Champs events and will have these posted tomorrow at the pool. Every parent that has a child swimming in A or B or both champs event/s should be available to volunteer. Those volunteer positions are sent over from the league, and you will be receiving your assignments shortly. We are in charge of A champs. We need to set up and clean up there.
There will be three food trucks coming to B Champs (pricier than the hot dog and pizza food fare that are usually at meets, but tacos and other food will be sold by the trucks at B Champs taking place this Wednesday night at Conklin Pool located at 15 Church Rd. in Elkins Park, PA (arrive by 5:15 at the latest since parking will be difficult, and there are many swimmers that need to get in the pool to warm up).
Practices are DIFFERENT beginning on Wednesday this week:
- Monday and Tuesday: same practices as usual
- Wednesday:
- 8 to 9AM all swimmers that are qualified for A champs individual events
(not including A relay swimmers at this practice on Wednesday A champ practice) - 9 to 10AM (11 and older B champs swimmers)
- 10 to 10:50 (10 and under B champs swimmers)
- 8 to 9AM all swimmers that are qualified for A champs individual events
- Thursday and Friday:
- 8 to 9AM (11 and older A champs swimmers * including relay swimmers)
- 9 to 10AM (10 and under A champs swimmers *including relay swimmers)
Alternates are the 13th and 14th swimmers in the event for A CHAMPS. They come to A champ practices, and at A Champs they come and may have the opportunity to swim, and they may not. However, the alternates are also able to swim for that event at B Champs and that means they have the top time for the event for B Champs.
Team party this Sunday night: the pizzas are ordered (I did order 3 Gluten Free for the families that have ordered those in the past). There will be a sign-up sheet in the entrance to the pool exactly where the pancake and Italian Food Sign-Up sheets were. Families with last names A to N are to sign up to bring appetizers or salads and families M to Z are to sign up to bring a dessert. All families bring their own drinks.
Dinner will start at 5PM and Awards at 5:30PM. Pool will be open to just Storm swim team from 6 to 8PM.
Go Storm! Ami Kirn (215) 293-9634
