There will be no Friday morning practice or a meet this week (Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th) due to the Holiday.  We wish every family a safe and restful Fourth of July!

 

Fourth Meet – July 11th at Brookside:

If you will not be at the meet, please alert your coach by Wednesday prior to the meet and put it into the blue Coaches Notebook.  M.I.T. parents, please check with Coach Tony the week of the meet to see if your child is entered into events. 

 

Further information regarding this meet will be in the next newsletter.

 

Visit from SwimKids – SwimKids will have a meeting for interested parents during practice on Tuesday, July 7th at 6:45pm (rain date is July 14).  The representative will discuss swimming programs that they offer to swimmers of all ages, all levels and abilities.  SwimKids offers great programs that will advance your swimmer’s skills and techniques in preparation for next year’s summer swimming.  We encourage all parents to attend, especially those with M.I.T. swimmers.

 

Swim-A-LapWednesday, July 8 during regular practice time.  Swimmers have been provided a pledge sheet in their folder and are asked to collect pledges or donations from family and friends.  A Pizza Party will be held following the event for the swimmers.  Families can also order additional one-topping pizzas at $7 per pizza.  Pizza orders and money are due on July 2nd.  A sign-up sheet is at the shed.  We also need parent volunteers to help count the swimmers’ laps that night.

 

This is an optional fundraiser and funds that are raised assist the team with purchasing new equipment for the team.

Friday Morning Practices -- Practices will begin on Friday, June 19, 2009 from 7am to 9am.  MITs are exempt from this practice unless they are swimming in a meet on Saturday.  Friday mornings are a great time to get extra 'one-on-one' time with the coaches to practice stroke technique, flip-turns, and starts.
