Sugarbears Have NEW HOME POOL for 2011 Swim Season

Happy New Year Sugarbears!

I hope the new year brings your family health, happiness, and many wonderful memories yet to be created.

It seems hard to believe but planning for the 2011 Sugarbears season is in full swing!

I wanted to spend a few minutes "chatting" with you about a question many have raised..."Where are we swimming in 2011?"

I have what I think is an exciting change to communicate to everyone!

After many hours of Board discussion both with the City and independently, including the evaluation of multiple options, the Board overwhelming supported our move to the Roseville High School pool. Some may wonder why the change and if it's good for the team. I'm here to say yes, it's a good move for our team AND our swimmers. Roseville High School sports a well-maintained, 6-lane pool Many of you may have participated in clinics at the facility or even Sugarbear practices when we've needed to vacate Oakmont for temporary time. It's a clean, cozy pool deck with bleachers running along the length of the pool.

TO READ ALL ABOUT THIS MOVE, click on this link to read a 2-page PDF Newsletter explaining all the details:

http://www.sugarbears.org/share/FEB2011PoolsideChatNewsletterANNOUNCEMENT.pdf

We are very excited about this change. We welcome any comments via email to: sugarbearsboard@yahoogroups.com

Sincerely,

Renee Ostrander

Check in for Champs is at 6:15am. At 6:35am, swimmers who have not checked in will be scratched.

http://www.sugarbears.org/share/SugarbearsChampsSetupLocation

It is on the grass area along the cement walkway towards the back bathrooms. Personal tents can be set-up on Friday at 6pm BEHIND THE TEAM TENTS. All tents can be left over night Friday and Saturday night. Please lower your tent before you leave Saturday and take home your tarp.

We are still in need of the following volunteer positions at Champs:

-Afternoon Snack Bar

-AM & PM Ready Bench

-Late Morning & Afternoon Grillers (in shaded area)

Since this year the Sugarbears can receive ALL profits generated from the Snack Bar, it is extremely important that we have it staffed adequately. If you are interested in any of these positions, check in at the Volunteer Table, Saturday morning and sign-up.

Every Sugarbear will be swimming every event at this two-day meet, if you have a time for each event and have swam in at least two dual-meets.

Champs will be held at the Roseville Aquatics Complex (RAC)- Woodcreek Blvd and Pleasant Grove Blvd (near Junction Ave). There will be over 1,200 swimmers at this meet, and over 3,000 people in attendance. Parking will be at a premium. The RAC has a very small parking lot. Woodcreek High School, next to the RAC is available for parking.

There will be multiple heats ran for each stroke. All 16 lanes at the RAC will be used. The pool will be divided up into 8 lanes of ODD heats and 8 lanes of EVEN heats. Lanes 1-8 near the coaches table are the odd lanes. lanes 1-8 towards the entrance will be the even lanes. Please pay attention to which heat your child is scheduled to swim in. The meet will be circled seeded. Which means it will not be ran from the fastest to slowest heats. All heats will contain a variety of swimmers at different skill levels. The top 10 fastest times from all heats will advance to finals.
