Greenmeadow CIT Events this weekend!
Hello Marlins CITs! (ages 13+),
Sharing some information about the CIT program - join us for our kick-off events this weekend!
CIT OVERVIEW & ORIENTATION - ALL 13+ MEMBERS INCLUDED
All Greenmeadow members 13 and older are welcome to participate in the CIT Program - joining as much or as little as they’d like. This year, we are including non-swim team members, ages 13+ (Click to register). Please update your CIT's contact info, here. We will have many events, which can be found below and on the calendar. Your Lead CIT coordinator this summer is Stacey Clifton, with help from Mari Ueda-Tao. We use a WhatsApp group for communication purposes. Parents and CITs, please join the WhatsApp to stay connected with this this link.
PRACTICE MEET - SIGN UP BY TONIGHT!
Don’t forget to sign up for the Practice Meet this Saturday, May 16th - by tonight! (Swimmers here & meet jobs here). We need CITs at the meet to help our younger Marlins. CIT meet jobs include things like organizing relays, helping the coaches, rallying kids in the clerk of course, and cheering loudly. There are no signups for this - just attend a meet and the Assistant Coaches will have a meeting at the start of each meet to go over your jobs. The more the merrier and volunteer hours are available!
ICE CREAM SOCIAL, T-SHIRT TIE-DYE & CIT ORIENTATION
All swimmers are also invited to a free ice cream social, t-shirt tie-dye & CIT Orientation this Saturday after the swim meet. If your CIT would like to volunteer to scoop ice cream or help with t-shirts, please sign up on the volunteer tab, here. We will have a CIT Orientation at the pool (with pizza and games) from ~12-1pm for our CITs after the swim meet and social.
IN-WATER PRACTICE HELP
We welcome CITs to help with swim practices, including getting in the water with the younger swimmers. Having CITs makes practices more fun for them and it's a great way to learn how to become a swim instructor. You’d help by correcting younger swimmers' strokes in the water, cheering on 2 hand touches, and making things fun for all. Please come as much as you can to help at these practices:
- 4:15 - 4:45 PM (Jr. Marlins T/Th and Adv. 8Us M/W/F)
- 4:45 - 5:15 PM (Beginning 9-10s)
13+ WEDNESDAY CIT ONLY PRACTICES WITH DINNER (FREE!)
Starting on Wednesday, June 10th, we will have weekly swim practices just for CIT swimmers from 7:00-8:00 PM followed by dinner at the pool!
CIT DIVE CLINICS
Our CIT dive clinics (for 10 and unders) will be on May 17th and May 31st from 10 AM - 12 PM. No experience is necessary - just review the dive progression videos below and follow the dive stages and sign up to help.
