Spread Kindness Project

By
14 Acts of Kindness 
In an effort to make our corner or the world a kinder place, we'd like to do a small spread kindness project with the team.  There are 14 weeks between each groups first day and last meet this summer. We would like to have a different spread kindness project each week and are taking suggestions from swimmers and parents! Please submit your ideas for a weekly kindness project.  Each project should be something short and simple to do, and something that an eight year old could complete with little stress. We are looking for small acts of kindness that brightens the day of people around us.

Here is a great resource to help you get started on ideas to share

Our JO team decided they would get the project going and had bag tags made up for the swim meet participants.  They were received with lots of smiles from a lot of very nervous swimmers.  The bag tags are pictured here.

Extra T-Shirts

By
The Pollock Family has donated about 60 t-shirts sporting the new team logo to our Booster Club. The shirts come in a variety of colors and sizes. Each family will have their chance to pick ONE shirt on Monday or Tuesday at practice. On Wednesday, any shirts remaining will be available to anyone. A donation to the booster club for your shirt is optional. The kids are now receiving their team t-shirts that were made exclusively for kids and coaches. Kast-A-Way has not yet printed our red t-shirts, if you would like to order one I suggest you call today. These shirts are being printed on a light weight t-shirt from Sport Tek.

Coach of the Year

By
Dear Coach, Hope this email finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are writing today on behalf of the upcoming feature film COACH OF THE YEAR: an independent, kid-friendly sports comedy feature film based on the inspiring true story of a rag tag swim team that tries to win a state championship…without a pool to practice in. Director Dave Stott, who has coached swimming for twenty years, hopes that with this film, we will entertain and inspire kids all over the country to learn to swim. Another goal of this film is to raise awareness about drowning as the leading cause of accidental deaths and to help kids all over the country learn to swim safely. The underdog story has been told before, but not for our sport. This is a movie for swimmers (and would-be swimmers), made by people who know the sport intimately and love it passionately, and we’d love for you to be involved. We wanted to ask you and your team to help spread the word about COACH OF THE YEAR, and get you & you...
