Swim-a-thon!

Hey there Sugarbears:

The swim-a-thon is in one week on June 24th at morning practice. How many pledges do you have? The team goal is $8,500. If each swimmer collects 50.00 which is around 10 pledges we will make our goal. This is the major fundraiser for the team. If we make our team goal the team will have the opportunity to throw water balloons at the coaches at Pre-Champs Party Thurs, July 23rd. FUN! See the prize sheet for the fun prizes.

Why do we have a swim-a-thon? It is a great endurance exercise for the swimmers as it teaches your body to use oxygen more effectively and therefore swim faster. It is also our biggest fundraiser for this summer so we need everyone to participate and help support our team. It will be held on Wednesday, June 24th and envelopes should be turned in by Wednesday, July 1st.

What if swimmer cannot attend the Swim-A-Thon? Swimmers are still encouraged to participate by collecting pledges and winning prizes. Just collect flat donations instead of per lap donations. Remember we can only meet our team goal with all our swimmers participating and helping out.

What is a swim-a-thon? The swim-a-thon is a fundraiser where swimmers ask for sponsors to donate money to them. Each swimmer will swim continuous laps (as many as they can in the allotted time) and then collect the money from their sponsors. The swim-a-thon is held during normal swim practice times. Swim-a-thon donation sheets will be provided in the family folders. You can get more forms and information go to:
http://www.sugarbears.org/swimathon.htm

Who do I ask for pledges? Ask your friends, family members, neighbors, relatives, parent’s co-workers, and anyone else you might know to sponsor you.

What is the day of the Swim-A-Thon like? The swimmers will be swimming, with volunteers counting the laps. After there will be goodies to reward the swimmers.

What other parent help is needed? We will need lap counters, and people to bring and serve treats on the day of the event. We will have a sign up sheet for people to bring treats and count laps. For forms, envelopes, prizes go to http://www.sugarbears.org/swimathon.htm

Who can I contact if I need help or have more questions?
Please contact either Jenifer Cox 780-5433 nate_jenabc@yahoo.com or Megan Hoppes 773-9608 mlhoppes@comcast.net

Thank you!

Rocklin Meet Results Available. Attention Photographers!

Our meet results and corresponding reports from our Meet with Rocklin are now available on-line. We apologize for the delay. For the record, our Head ComputerOps, Mike Hynes, has provided the reports in a very timely matter for the past two weeks. It is our Stinky Cheeseman who has been on vacation and slow to posting. Now that the Cheeseman has returned, future posts should occur more quickly. Thank you for your patience.

Attention Photographers
We have seen many photo enthusiast snapping pictures at meets and special Sugarbear events and we would like you to consider contributing your pictures for review and possible selection into the end-of-year slide show. Here are the general guidelines and how-to in submitting your work.
Submit original photos-- let our experts crop, color correct, and sharpen!
CDs drop-point-- Drop CDs of your pictures in Paige Thomas' box and she will get them to our slide show leader. Put your name and phone number on the CD so we can acknowledge your work.
Be Surprised!-- Not every photo will be chosen, but you may enjoy seeing some of your work show up on the big-screen!
Don't Delay-- Each week, after shooting your favorite Sugarbears, go ahead and drop that CD off. It will allow our volunteers to sort through the hundreds of photos weekly, rather than all at once.
Thank You!-- Our volunteers do a great job, but they can't be everywhere. Your photos will help make the slide show memorable and fun!

A special note to families of Senior swimmers:
We include a special segment in the slide show showcasing our graduating seniors. Please provide between 8 to 12 pictures of your Senior ranging in age from birth to current age. It is usually a good idea to have a good spread. Something like new born, two years, 7 years, 10 years, 13 years, etc.. The Senior picture (if possible) should be your school Senior picture. But also include your last Sugarbear picture. Please put the photos in an envelope with your son or daughter’s name clearly marked on it give it to David. We will take good care of your photos and return them to you as soon as they are scanned into the computer.

Important: Seniors - If your pictures include multiple people in the shot.. Please, tell me which one is you by writing it on a sticky and placing it on the back of the picture.

Thank you for your help in making this season’s slide show a memorable one!

Sugarbear Team Social at Sky Zone!

This Monday, 6/15/09, is our team social. In past years, we have had several parties divided by age group, but this year we are simplifying. There will be one social at one location on 6/15/09 & it will be divided into two age groups.

The 10 & under swimmers will participate from 7-8pm. The 11 & up swimmers will participate from 8-9pm.

We will be meeting at SKY ZONE in Rocklin at 1091 Tinker Road, phone number: 644-9966.

There is swim practice on Monday. The social is in the evening and does not conflict with morning practice.

The Sugarbears are taking over SKY ZONE for our own private party. The team is paying for each swimmer to use the facilitywhich includes a 3-D Dodgeball court & a main court comprised of wall-to-wall trampolines. There will be food available for purchase. We also have two partyrooms for parents & non-jumpers to enjoy.

This is a great opportunity for families to socialize & for swimmers to have a great time. If you haven't already signed up at the pool deck, please email Kris Brown atbrown1642@yahoo.com as soon as possible if you plan to come.

We will try to accommodate siblings on a first come, first serve basis. Due to safety issues, we are limited to 100 participants per hour & priority is given to swimmers.

Come as early as 1/2 before your jump session (ie. 6:30 & 7:30pm) to check in.

BRING SOCKS & wear casual clothes. Any participant under the age of 18 must have a waiver form signed by a parent or legal guardian.

If you have anyquestions, contact Kris Brown or visit http://www.skyzonesports.com/

See you at SKY ZONE!!!
