Our first home "B" Meet is this Wednesday, June 27th against Darnestown. Please be at our pool by 4:30pm for warm-ups. Check in with Dyann or Tim when you arrive. Swimmers names will be posted on the Bulletin Board by Tuesday evening. Please identify and confirm your swimmers name and what events/strokes they are swimming (the most allowed is 3 events plus IM), and sign off with your initials.  We cannot change line-ups after 12:00 (noon) Wednesday for Wednesday night meets. See below for the theme for this meet.

 

Theme Ð The theme for the week beginning June 24th (for the 6/27 & 6/30 meets) is "Roman Empire". Wear togas & laurel head leaves as we `All Hail the Otters!'

 

Pizza & Pictures Ð This Friday (6/29) please be at the pool by 3:30pm for team pictures wearing your team suit, if you have one. Remember to bring your order form with payment. The team picture includes the whole team (Little Otters & Pre-Team members as well.) Individual pictures will be taken immediately after the team picture for those who would like to order them.

 

Everyone is invited to stay after pictures are taken to enjoy dinner poolside. For dinner, you can bring your own meal or purchase Papa John's cheese pizza for $7 each. To order pizza, sign-up on the bulletin board and make check payment to "QO Otters" and either leave your payment in the "Liu" folder or pay when you pick up the pizza at the pool. After dinner, be prepared for some singing fun! Performers are welcome to `try-out' in front of our special panel of judges and your teammates for our American Otter competition! Bring your own music or select a song from our `vast' collection of CD's (we'll have 2 or 3.)

 

Stay Cool by the Pool MiniMeet!

Sign up forms are available in the family folders and must be turned in by Friday, June 29th. Cost is $3.50/swim event. Each swimmer may swim 3 events & IM. This is always a fun-filled event for the younger kids to participate in!  Full details are on the sign up form. Any questions, please contact Lori Zarchin

 

Meets Ð Next Saturday (6/30) our A meet is home against Manchester Farms. Please be at the Q.O. pool by 7:45am for warm-ups and be sure to check in with Dyann when you get to the pool. Also, see Paul Schwartzman to sign-up for any open volunteer positions.

`A' Relays Ð Sunday (7/1) at 7:45am. Meet at the Germantown Pool and remember to check in with Dyann or Tim.

 

Our Ice Cream social was a sweet summer treat for swimmers & parents alike. We had a great turnout with lots of happy faces. Thanks to everyone for bringing all the delicious toppings and to all who helped set-up, clean-up and serve.

If your children swim in "B" meets you may want to sign up to work the home "A" meets and visa versa. This will allow you to watch your kids at the meet without worrying about your "job." Contact Doug Richardson if you have questions.
