Hi everyone!

Please make sure you sign up for Secret Swimmer by tonight!
This is a tradition that we used to do every year before Covid, and now we are trying to bring it back. It is super fun for all of your swimmers to try and figure out who their person is.

If you’re new to the swim team, Secret Swimmer functions much like Secret Santa. Your child will be assigned another swimmer. During the course of the week of July 15th, your swimmer will drop treats/gifts on the doorstep of their assigned swimmer each evening, Monday-Thursday. On Friday morning, at Champs practice, your swimmer will hand-deliver a treat and reveal him/herself. To give you a basic guideline, gifts like candy, gum, small Lego sets, jump ropes, $5 restaurant gift cards, hula hoops, silly string, goggles, pool toys, chalk, Sharpies, beach towels, cards, and games are all appropriate. Be creative!

The main purpose of the Secret Swimmer program is to build team camaraderie, excitement, and momentum for Champs. And to have fun!

Keep these basic guidelines in mind when selecting and delivering gifts:
-Spend approximately $20 total for treats over the course of the five days.
-Deliver one treat (wrapped if size and shape allow) to your secret swimmer’s house M-Th before 9 pm. Try not to get caught! Think of ding dong ditch, or just simply place it on the porch.
- Even if you’re not swimming at Champs, try to attend Champs practice briefly to swap gifts. No one likes to be disappointed by not being able to deliver or receive a gift on this day!
-Be sure to label your deliveries with the swimmer’s name, which is especially important in multi-swimmer households, and write some kind of message or encouragement on your gifts/gift bag.
-You may be as creative with gifts as you’d like. For example, some families like to do swimming-related or Champs-related gifts, ie. a deck of Go Fish cards with a message like, “Swim like a fish at Champs!”

The more people that participate in this the better it will be! It is so much fun!
