Millburn Pool Summer Swim Team

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! We have a meet Monday MORNING in Maplewood. Warm up will start at 7:30am SHARP! Please get to the pool between 7:00am-7:15am so everyone has time to check in before they jump in the pool for warm up! The swim meet will begin at 8:30am. I put the directions on this email. Please make sure to give yourself enough time for the drive over to the pool. I will have a sign in sheet ready at the meet for your children to check off that they are there! If your plans have changed and you cannot make the meet, please email me ASAP.

On a side note, because the date of the Berkeley Heights meet has changed to Tuesday July 16th, I need an update on all swimmers availability ASAP! It was brought to my attention the Summit Seals tryouts are the same night and I want to make sure it will not conflict.

As with the many other programs Millburn Rec offers, this competitive swim team depends A LOT on the generous efforts made by it's VOLUNTEERS. It really does 'take a village'. Every dual meet requires volunteer participation from each team. We need timers, marshals, ribbon writers, announcers, scorers, runners, etc. There are many teams that mandate participation but we have yet to institute this due in large part by all who do volunteer. Volunteering has it's benefits. You get a bird's eye view of how everything is run and you can really 'get up close and personal'. We are always thankful and welcoming of any help you can provide. It's always easier with more hands on deck. Please don't wait til we have to start tracking individuals down in order to meet our needs.

Volunteers help as:

• Timers: Time events with stopwatch and report to official for specified lane .
• Marshals: Get swimmers lined-up and ready for events in appropriate lane.
• Runners: Bring official’s result sheets to scoring table for each event.
• Ribbon Writers: Fill-in swimmer/event information for Millburn event placers at scoring table.
• Scorers: Scoring and tallying of event points for meet at scoring table.

It's not too late to volunteer. Anyone could volunteer to split a shift with an existing volunteer or any volunteer could recruit someone to split their shift. Anyone is encouraged to shadow/assist if unsure. We have a meet Tuesday night at Berkeley Heights. I will send out the information about that meet Monday, such as times and directions.
