The pool chemicals are still not right. So, there will not be practice tonight.

***High School Swimmers will have Dry Land practice at 4pm. So, please come dressed for a dryland workout.

Coach Dave has set up this Donor's Choice Fundraiser to help buy new equipment for the swimmers. Right now the donations are doubled. So, if you donate $1 Core gets $2. Please consider donating and spread the word to family and friends.

Due to the chlorine being too high at the pool, there will not be any practices tonight. See you tomorrow! Also, due to this change- Advanced Minis and Minis are welcome to come to practice on Thursday this week.

Message from Coach Dave-
Please find the attached results for Core vs Council Rock. Myself and the other coaches are excited by the progress we are making. Times keep dropping and attitudes have been positive. I wanted to send a special "thank you" to the seniors and high school swimmers for coming and showing your spirit, our younger swimmers are learning a lot from you.

*Please note that the meet results can always be found on the SCHEDULE PAGE of the website.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ-
The Suburban Aquatic League has a rule that requires all swimmers to swim in at least 2 of the first 5 meets of the season. If a swimmer does not swim in at least 2 of the first five meets, he or she cannot participate in any meets for the rest of the season.
So, here are the first 5 meets. Please be sure your swimmer swims in at least 2 of these meets. Of course, we are a team, so we hope all swimmers will swim in as many meets as they possibly can.
October 29
November 12
November 19
December 1 - Intersquad Meet to makeup for the cancelled November 5 meet

***Please visit the SCHEDULE PAGE of the website to sign your swimmer up for the November 19 meet, the December 1 meet, and the December 3 meet.

****On the left side of all pages on the WEBSITE are the Sign Up Genius Links for parent volunteer jobs, so please visit those links to sign up to work at the meets.

Since parents need to have volunteer clearances to work a meet, I am asking for you to complete these as soon as possible. To access the clearance applications, please click on the following site and complete the clearance applications and volunteer affidavit. You do not have to print these out; just let Carrie Digregorio know when you have completed the clearances.

https://www.neshaminy.org/Domain/2376

You will need to register for app-garden if this is your first time applying. If you already have your clearances through Neshaminy, please respond to this email (only to me) with your name and we will double check!

All families are required to work 4 meets. We cannot start a meet if we do not have enough workers. If you volunteer at all 4 meets, we will NOT cash your $200 volunteer check.

We will go over all of the volunteer positions on October 13th at our parent's meeting. This will be via Zoom and we will send the invite out this week. Time TBD.

We will need someone to do 50/50 at our home meets. This is an easy position for someone who has a little one!

We are also looking for someone to run the snack stand at home meets. This includes setting up and taking down. I will send out a separate sign up for snack stand donations. Let Carrie Digregorio know if you are interested.
