All,

Just a reminder to sign up for our wonderfully spooky Scary Distance Meet that will be on Oct. 21st from 9 AM - 12 PM and you need to sign up by Oct. 18th @ 5PM (see below for sign up and $15 payment links). If you are not doing Fall Conditioning, I will need to give you permission to sign up, so please send me the names of the swimmers who want to attend and I will let you know when you may enter.

SEPT. 30 @ 10 AM- CIT HALLOWEEN DECORATING

Anyone who is 13 and older is invited to help decorate the pool for Halloween on Saturday, Sept. 30th starting at 10AM.  Breakfast treats will be provided and you can get service hours for helping. 

SCARY DISTANCE DETAILS 

The meet is optional and is just with fellow Greenmeadow swimmers, but very festive, so we hope you will all give it a try. There are goodie bags, a raffle for prizes, free food and chance to try longer distance races without any DQs if the kids are feeling adventurous.

Please sign up swimmers here (if you are not in Fall conditioning, you may participate, but will need to send me an email first and don't forget the final Save on the entries) and volunteers here. If you are new to the team, more detailed information on how to enter a meet is below and please email with any questions.

Who? The meet is open to all 2023 Summer and 2023 Fall Conditioning swimmers (Marlins and Jr. Marlins), but no adults for this one, just the kiddos. If your swimmer is currently doing Fall Conditioning, you can enter now. If you are not doing Fall Conditioning, I will need to give you permission to sign up, so please send me the names of the swimmers who want to attend and I will let you know when you may enter.

Cost? The cost is $15 per swimmer, which includes a spooky swim cap, goodie bag, free bagels/donuts, and a raffle ticket per event entered. You can pay for the entry on our team store (here) or via venmo to @gmcamarlins.

Events? We will offer the events below and your swimmers may enter up to one distance of each stroke plus the IM. Remember, there are no DQs, so be brave and go big!

• 8 & Under: 25 or 50 of fly, back, breast, free, and 100 IM
• 9-12: 50 or 100 fly, back, breast, free, and 100 or 200 IM
• 13+: 50 or 100 fly, 100 or 200 of back, breast, free, and 100 or 200 IM

Volunteers? If you have a swimmer, you are expected to sign up to volunteer for at least one shift here. If you only have Jr. Marlin swimmers, you do not need to volunteer, but if you have a Jr. Marlin and a Marlin, you are still expected to volunteer. Note that the end times for the second shift is just an estimate, so the meet may run longer or shorter depending on how many kids sign up. If you have any questions about the volunteer positions, please let me know.

Costumes? Yes! We encourage costumes for kids and adults alike.
