Weekly Check In for December 18th

Hello Team,

Happy Holidays!

Locker rooms:
Please do not take phones/cameras out of bags/pockets while in the locker room.

Meet Requests:
Please follow the proper procedure for meet requests. Go to the meet schedule page: https://www.billericabgc.com/meet-information and select the appropriate meet in the “Meet Requests Link” column. If your phone cannot use hyperlinks, go to the blog https://seawolvesbbgc.blogspot.com/2017/10/meet-attendance-request-forms-are.html
for the original email where all of the links were left in their original format. Requests must be submitted by 9 pm the Tuesday before the meet.

Should you have a last minute illness or emergency email me at seawolvesbbgc@gmail.com with “Sick Swimmer” or “Emergency absence” and the swimmers name in the Subject header.

Please do not phone in or tell a coach on deck of requests. With 186 swimmers we need to follow protocols. Requests submitted a different way may be lost and result in a fine for missed events.

Meet results:
Congrats on a win against Dorchester. We swept all age groups.

Meet Volunteers:
Please do not volunteer if you cannot do the job for the entire time. It is not fair to your fellow volunteers to abandon them mid meet.

High School Swimmers Only (grades 9-12):
Funday Friday Pool and Pizza Party (much like BMHS Funday Monday... but on a Friday) on Friday December 22 from 6:30-8:30.

There will be an optional pizza party dinner. Bring $7 and your own soda and we will order pizza for those who wish to participate. You may also choose to just hang out or swim.

Holiday Party:
This year the holiday party will be at Coco Key in Danvers!

This is not a drop off event. Coco Key requires all children under 16 attend with a parent or guardian.

Sunday, January 7th. We will be at the park from 10 am - 8 pm, although you may attend for whatever  hours work for you.

We will have a party room where you can stop in for pizza and water (if you want soda you may bring your own as we can bring food into the party room, but it must not be brought into the water park) during your age group assigned time slots: 8 and under from 10:15 to 11:00, nine/tens from 11:00 to 11:45, eleven/twelve from 11:45 to 12:30, and thirteen up from 12:30 to 1:15. There is also food and drink available in the park for purchase. We would like volunteers to help serve and keep things orderly during their child’s age group, please sign up at: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4aa8a82ba2fc1-seawolves1

Space is limited, register soon to ensure a spot. Cost is $20 for swimmers and $35 for non-team family members.

Because space is limited please keep this to immediate family members only: no extended family members (such as cousins, grandparents, aunts…). Registration closes on Jan 03, 2018. All sign ups are non-refundable. Contact Joe with questions at seawolvesbbgc@gmail.com, (978)667-2193.

Should you not register it is possible that non-discount tickets will be available through CoCo Key directly.

Use the below links to purchase tickets. You may add non-members to your account so you may purchase tickets for them. When logged into your child’s account go to “my account” and then “view account”. There is no fee for adding them to your account; however, they will be “inactive” members and unable to sign up for other member activities, such as swim lessons, unless activated.



Attendance:
Attached is the meet attendance list. Those with 5 have met their minimum attendance requirement for regular season meets. Those with only 2 meets must attend the remaining three. Medical exemptions may be made.

Everyone must attend Sectionals and there are no special requests. Swimmers will be in the events needed for the team that weeknd.

Schedule Updates:
The last Video Training will be Friday December 22. After the holiday Friday practice will start at 5 pm.

There will be no practice on Sunday 12/24 - 1/2 for the Holiday Break, practice resumes 1/3/18.
There will be no weekly check in next week due to the Holiday Break.

1/3/18 Drag Week! Swimmers may wear drag to practice:
13 up free choice
10-12 no more than t shirt that would fit them
9 under socks only
Salem meet  1/13/18 check in will be at 11:45.

Sectionals:
Worcester Boys and Girls Club has been kind enough to host the event again

1/27/18 AM: 9-10 &  Later AM or early PM: 11-12
1/28/18 AM: 8-Under & Later AM or early PM: 13-14 & 15-18
Exact times will be announced the week of Jan 22.

This year there will be 3-5 minute break after each of the 8 events instituted in the 8-Under session due to their smaller numbers and shortness of both their events and of their session. This will allow swimmers in back to back events a few minutes to rest before swimming again. For example if there is only 2 heats of the 25 fly for the girls and the same for the boys a swimmer in the both 25 fly and 50 free may only have 2 minutes between before their 25 fly and 50 free. This will ensure a brief break.
Training Videos:
Hand/Arm Position:
The last Video Training will be Friday December 22.

Team Gift:
Several people have not picked up their water bottle. If you have not picked up yours, please stop by the pool office. Please ask for assistance in retrieving yours- do not just find yours and take it as we are tracking who has picked up.
