New Coach!!!

Y-City Is happy to announce the coming back of one of last years favorite coaches, Erin Wantulok to the 2009 coaching staff. Not only has Erin been a coach for Y-City and the Blue Marlins in the past, she has also been a long time swimmer on the team as well. Along with her very successful Y-City career, Erin was also a terrific high school swimmer for Centennial High School for the past four years being a state qualifier and a letterman all four years she competed. From all of us, we hope that you can find time to welcome Erin back to the team and show her how much we are happy to have her back onto our wonderful coaching staff that works so hard to make this team what it is. 

Volunteers

Attention Y-City parents! Y-City is hosting it's first meet on Tuesday, June 16th, and we are still in need of parent volunteers! If you are able to volunteer, please sign up on the posters during practice times or contact one of the coaches. Thank you in advance to all of our awesome volunteers! Swim meets could not happen without you!

Tye-Dye Care Instructions

Tie-Dye Wash Instructions

1. Remove rubber bands with gloves
2. After dye has set, hand rinse in cold water until water runs clear.
3. Machine wash in warm water
4. Shirt will be ready to wear after washing but it’s recommended to wash shirt separately for the next few washings to prevent the dye from bleeding onto other clothes

Welcome

Newsletter 1

Welcome to the 2009 summer swim team season! Here are some announcements and reminders for the coming weeks:

Practice on Friday, June 12th will be a team bonding and shirt decorating day. This year we are tye-dying the team shirts. We will meet at the normal practice time in the bleachers before heading outside to start the fun. Swimmers should wear clothes they don’t mind getting dirty and bring their suits in case tye-dying does not take the full practice time. Shirts and tye-dying supplies will be provided.

Parent volunteers are always needed. Our swim team and swim meets could not happen without the wonderful parent volunteers! If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact one of the coaches or sign up on one of the posters by the pool during practices. Thank you in advance to all of the volunteers! We appreciate your help!

For those interested in volunteering as a stroke or turn judge this season, all judges are required to attend a Stroke and Turn Clinic, Saturday June 13th. The clinic will take place at Fairmont Pool at 10:00 am. For directions or more information feel free to contact the coaches.

Swim meets are almost here! Here is the meet schedule as a reminder. If swimmers are unable to attend a meet please let the coaches know in advance! Meets start at 5:00 pm but swimmers must be at the pool at 4:15 pm for warm-ups.
