Party People,

Today marks the beginning of the last seven days in our 2025 season.  We have a busy week so I'll keep this short and to the point:

1.  Last dual meet tomorrow at Brookwood.  We have a lot of gators signed up for this meet.  We still need 4 timers, a stroke and turn judge and a 9-10 helper.  Please fill these slots.  Arrive at Brookwood pool by 5:00pm (4339 Woodbourne Dr, Clemmons, NC 27012).  Bring tents if you got 'em.  Park on the side of the street closest to the pool.  If you park in anyone's yard, you'll likely get yelled at, threatened, harassed, towed or perhaps all of the above.

2.  Pancake breakfast is Friday morning.  Please RSVP so we know how much food to make.  Feel free bring bring something too!

3. Finals - get your declarations in for finals by Wednesday at NOON.  Late entries not accepted.

4.  End of the Year Party- please RSVP  as soon as you can for the party so we know how much food to order.  

5.  Swimmer's Ear- unfortunately Swimmer's Ear is the recent trend among summer swim. Invest in a container of swimmer's ear drying solution solution at the drug store (mixture of alcohol and glycerin) to dry the ear canal after swimming and help prevent your child from getting this painful ailment.  If you are feeing extra homeopathic, you can make your own mixture of 50:50 rubbing alcohol and white vinegar and put some drops in your kid's ears.  They will love the smell.

Last week of practice!  Come spend some time with your favorite families, coaches and swimmers before everyone scatters for the remainder of summer!

Go Gators!
