Good evening everyone.

 

As the Kamloops meet is this coming weekend, there are few items I need to pass on.

 

1.  All practices for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday (June 2-6) for the D2AB, D1, J/S Dev, Elite and Y/N groups will be cancelled.  The Swim School program, D3, D2C and Masters groups all have regular    scheduled practices.

3.  There will be a practice in Kamloops Thursday evening at 5pm for approx 40 minutes for those swimmers in Y/N, Elite, and D1.  For those of you who will be in Kamloops at that time, see you at the pool!

 

4.  Please click on the following link http://www.pgbsc.org/parents then click on the 'What To Do List' at Swim Meets for information on what to bring, etc.

 

5.  As the weather in Kamloops is going to be hot this weekend (in the high 20's), please remember to BRING bottled water and drink lots.  This is for both parents and swimmers.

 

6.  Preliminary warm ups for those in D2C, D2AB and D1 start at 7am Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Preliminary warm ups for those in Elite and Y/N start at 7:35am.  Please arrive 20 minutes before the start of warm ups.

Drivers still needed

Further to my message of last week, I’m still looking for drivers for the Mega Sale.  Please let me know if you’re are available this Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 8:45 am for approximately 3-4 hours and Saturday, June 4, 2011 at approximately 4:00 pm. for 3- 4 hours as well.  I will provide you with more info as soon as you respond.  Please email me at sheila_nelson@cflca.com by Wednesday, May 25, 2011 noon if you can help out.

 

For those of you who have already responded, thanks and I should have already emailed you back with the details.

 

Best Regards,

Sheila Nelson, CA  

Fwd: Drivers Start Your Engines

Andy, please send out to all Club members:

 

Hello all parents:

 

It's that time of the year to do some driving.  For those of you who haven't done this in the past, PG Motors (Ford) is looking for drivers to take vehicles from the dealership to CN Centre for their annual Mega Sale.  A shuttle takes you back to the dealership where you will pick up another car, take it to CN Centre, shuttle back to the dealership, etc.  Depending on the number of volunteers, you can expect to drive at least 10 different vehicles (and no, you don't have to know how to drive a standard).

 

I am looking for drivers for Thursday, May 26^th, 2011 starting at 9:00 am and Saturday, June 4, 2011 (this is the Kamloops meet weekend)
starting at 4:00 pm.  Expect to work at least 3-4 hours.

 

Ford will provide us some money to do this and it will be allocated to your FRL account.  In the past, this has been a pretty easy way to get some money to your account, it's lots of fun and you get to drive many different types of vehicles.  .

 

Please email me directly with the number of drivers and the dates you are able to drive.  My email address is: sheila_nelson@cflca.com.  For those that volunteer, I will be communicating directly with you to give you the full details.

 

Thanks for volunteering and see you at the pool!

SWIM-A-THON

The deadline to submit your completed SWIM-A-THON packages is this Saturday, May 21^st.  Please give them to either the coaches are myself.  Both the affidavit and pledge forms must be completed and included with the money that you've collected.  We cannot submit to Swim BC without them and your FRL's will not be credited.  Forms are located at http://www.pgbsc.org/Fund_Raising.html on the website if you no longer have them.

year end BBQ

Every year at the Annual Year End BBQ - we present all of our coaches with a gift showing our appreciation for all of their hard work throughout the swim season.  We also encourage all the swimmers to sign the cards and we present those with the gifts.  We collect donations from families who wish to contribute to these gifts.  I am looking for  a volunteer who would be willing to be at the pool to collect these donations and have the cards for the kids to sign.

SwimBC Invites Input Into Strategic Plan

Check out Swim BC webpage....

 

 

SwimBC Invites Input Into Strategic Plan

Swim BC's current strategic plan will expire after the London Games in 2012.  For this reason we have initiated the process of reviewing and preparing our next plan that will take us through 2016.

Swim BC invites its members to take a moment to complete this online questionnaire which will assist our planning group going forward.

In completing the questionnaire, if a particular question does not apply to you or your situation, or if you have insufficient information to respond, simply skip the question. Your answers will not be published and will be kept anonymous and confidential.

The results of questionnaire will only be used, once analyzed, for observations and recommendations aimed at better understanding the strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of Swim BC, thus helping to define the primary strategic objectives for the next few years. 

Swim BC would like to thank everyone for taking the time and contributing to our development and success. Your contribution is important and most valued to help elevate the sport of Swimming and Swim BC to the next level of excellence.

Sincerely,

 Mark J. Schuett, Executive Director – Swim BC
