Swimmers.....this is a
reminder of a policy that's contained in the Team Handbook. If you arrive
at school any time after 9:00 AM (that includes 9:01 AM) without a note from a
healthcare professional (doctor, dentist, etc.) or college, you will be
considered "Absent" and can NOT participate in swimming on that day.
A note from your parents does not suffice. Extenuating
circumstances will be given consideration. Your absence from swimming may
be considered unexcused. If any part of this policy is not clear, please
contact me.
Thanks for making sure your eligibility to participate in swimming is maximized.

Hello....after
consulting with the team Captains, we will again this year be having a Holiday
Lunch and Secret Santa gift exchange for the team on Friday, Dec. 21st, after
swimming practice, which goes from 11:15-1:45. The captains are working
out the details and will be in touch, but we will most likely go (car pool) to
a local restaurant where we'll eat and exchange our gifts.
I wanted to give you a heads up for scheduling purposes. If you have any
questions, please see one of the captains.
Regards,
Coach Resser

As you know, on
Saturday, December 29th, we will be conducting our annual "Swim-a-Mile,
Bring-a-Smile" fund-raiser. Swimmers will be obtaining pledges from
friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. that will be paid if/when they complete a
1650 yard, "one-mile" continuous swim. The money raised
will be divided between a local nonprofit social service organization/fund and
the Swimming Booster Club.
Swimmers and Parents.....I need your input, via email, by Wednesday, Dec. 12th,
on a local (preferably Dillsburg-based) human social service organization or
fund that you feel we should support financially. In the past, we have
made contributions to New Hope Ministries, the Four Diamonds Fund and the
family of Sam Mizrahi for their use in Sam's memory. The swimmers and
coaches will select one organization from the list I receive.
This time of year, in particular, it's important that we realize and appreciate
how very blessed we are. The swim-a-thon is one way for us to give our
support to those in our community that are less fortunate and, hopefully, give
them a reason to smile.
Thank you, very much.
