UMSC Gators: NEW start time for tomorrow's meet at Fort!!!
I know tomorrow is the LONGEST DAY of the year, but Fort Washington is still concerned about "running out" of daylight for our dual meet?!? Therefore, we exhibited some good sportsmanship and negotiated the new times noted below (it is only 15 minutes earlier).
Fort Washington Swim & Tennis Club, 1003 Farm Lane, Ambler, PA 19002
Divers are to arrive by 4:00pm; warm-ups begin at 4:15pm; Diving Meet starts at 4:40pm.
Swimmers are to arrive by 5:00pm, warm-ups begin at 5:15pm. Swim Meet starts immediately after Diving.
Please have your child check in with the coaches upon arrival.
VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED
We are still in need of the following volunteers for Thursday’s meet:
Bench to Block – 1
Ready Bench – 1
Scorer’s Table – 2
Team Area – 1
Please contact Kevin O’Connor to sign up for one of these positions if you can help out. He can be reached at 215-704-4979 or [email protected]
Meet Reminders!
Swimmers/Divers need to keep the team area clean, both at home and away meets,
and to help pick up trash/clean up the area when the meet is over. If they
don't do it, it falls on the shoulders of the volunteers that are already
working hard to make our meets a success. Please remind your children to pitch
in and clean up after themselves and return any chairs/benches to where they
found them.
Please also remind your children to stay in the team area.We have volunteers that call the children and help get them lined up for their races.If we cannot find your child, they may miss their race. As you can imagine, it can be hard to corral all these little gators, especially when our volunteers may be unfamiliar with them, their names and their cute little faces.
What to Bring
A good reminder, especially for those new to the team or to swimming.
- Wear your team suit
- Swim Cap
- Goggles
- Several Towels (at least one to sit on and one to dry off with)
- Water Bottle
- Healthy Snack
- Sweat Shirt/Pants (it can get chilly in a wet bathing suit)
- Sunscreen
- Money for the bake table
- Something to do while waiting for their race - book, deck of cards, crossword puzzle, etc
Go Gators Go!!!
