Meet Information

Our first dual meet is this Saturday 6/4.  Warm Ups are at 6:45 AM.  Please have your swimmer on deck by 6:30 AM.  New swimmers, lots of information about what to expect at meets is on our website here … http://www.benfranklinswimteam.com/Handbook/Handbook_MeetInfo.aspx.  We will have full concessions with breakfast burritos, burgers, hot dogs etc. all day. 

All families are asked to bring a 6 pack of soda for our home meets.  This soda is sold at concessions the proceeds go to provide our pool with new equipment.  This year, you will notice that we were able to purchase 50 new pairs of practice fins. 

We still have a few volunteer slots to fill on the Noon-End shift.  Timers and Heating are especially needed.  We cannot run our meet without timers.  Please go to http://www.signupgenius.com/go/volunteer624 (Password ‘Ungowa’) to volunteer.

Team Photos/Pizza Party

Sunday night is our Team Photos/Pizza Party.  This is a very fun event.  The pool will be open for our families, we will dive for coins, have a belly flop contest, and overall have a great time.  Every swimmer will be given a ticket for two slices of pizza and a drink, courtesy of the team.  Non-swimmers, $3 for 2 slices of Pizza and a Drink.  Last names beginning with A-L, please bring a 6 pack of soda or water to share.  Last names beginning with M-Z, please bring a dessert to share.  Attached are order forms for Photos.  Please wear your team suit for our team picture.

Parent Representatives NEEDED!  

Being a Parent Rep is a great opportunity to get more involved in the team.  We would ask that you spend one season being mentored, then during the second season take on a leadership role.  To learn more about this, feel free to contact me or go to our website at http://www.benfranklinswimteam.com/ParentRep.aspx
