    BTW Swimmer's Weekly - Sept. 18, 2022

    ***  From the Booster Club  ***

    Welcome Coach Casey! We are excited to have you at the Hive Pool!

    From the Coaches:

    Team Suit/Cap/Jacket ordering: The direct link to order the required items (suit, cap(s), and jacket is: https://swimquik.com/collections/btw-hs-required-gear.

    These items must be ordered by Midnight on 9/20! If swimmers forgot what size suit they are, please reach out to Coach Jenn. Reminder - this is the only time to order team caps (suits and jackets are available all season should they need a replacement). These items will be delivered to Coach Jenn and handed out at the pool.
    Other Swim Gear: If swimmers haven't purchased a swim snorkel yet, please use the SwimOutlet store link (https://btwhornets.swimtopia.com/) on our swim site to purchase through SwimOutlet. Search for swim snorkels and choose one. We recommend the Finis Glide Swimmer's Swim Snorkel or the TYR Ultralight Swim Snorkel 2.0 as good (and on sale!) options. 
    Rules & Regulations: The attached document was handed out to and reviewed with swimmers last week; it was also reviewed at last week's parents meeting. Please review at your convenience.
    Schedule this week (9/19 - 9/23) We will be swimming from 3 - 4 PM every day (yes, including Friday, bonding night check-in is not until 7pm!). Swimmers need to remember to bring swim gear, suits, etc. or you will lose your points for the day. Swimmers should arrange for pickups or carpooling with the team.
    From the Booster Club:
    Bonding Night: The event is this Friday, Sept. 23rd, at 7:00 at the First United Methodist Church Youth & Family Center; address is 12 East 11th St. Thank you to all the parents who have signed up to donate food and supplies; we are still in need of a few items. Please check out the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c054eaca929a57-b...  
    Swimmers should bring the following:
    • refillable water bottle - there will be some bottled water, but you may want to bring this in case we run out
    • sleeping bag (camping pad, cot, inflatable mattress are welcome)
    • pillow & blanket
    • toiletries
    • a change of clothes
    • a hoodie

    All activities will be indoors but it does get chilly inside. Recommend wearing comfortable shoes!

    Swimmers should NOT bring any handheld video games or restricted items as stated on Code of Conduct form.

    Snacks will be available all night and pizza will be served between 8:30 - 9:00. Swimmers may want to eat a small bite before arriving. Swimmers should be picked up at 6:30 Saturday morning.

    Booster Club Code of Conduct Form: All swimmers need to have the form signed and turned in before attending on Friday. Coach Jenn will have an updated list on Monday of who still needs to turn their form in.

    Spirit Wear: We apologize for the confusion about the swim spirit wear sales. School administration notified us after the site went live that there was a new fundraising form to be submitted that has not been previously required. That has been submitted and we are waiting for final approval. We will be extending the order date once we receive approval from admin and will send an email to everyone. Thank you for your patience.

    Thank you to everyone who attended the parent meeting last week. For those who missed, please reach out to Sharon ([email protected]) for a summary.
