Swimmer sign outs via email  

The coaches assume that all registered swimmers are available to participate in all meets unless they are notified otherwise. It is critically important to the coaches doing the meet entries and other teammates that parents sign out their swimmers from meets they can not attend, even if they are participating on a trial basis. This season we will be doing sign outs via email. Parent will email the address below with the meet date, swimmers name, age group in the subject line and any other comments in the body of the email by the sign out deadline for that meet. You will be reminded in advance each week of the sign-out deadline.

Sign out email address:           wyomingswordfish@yahoo.com

Example of subject line:         June 11, Michael Phelps, 9-10

Parent participation is required

In order to ensure the safety of our participants, well-organized meets, and the financial resources needed to fund the team, each family is required to work at 4 swim meet jobs, or 'meet positions' such as timer, griller, pre-meet bake sale set-up, 8-and-under swimmer supervisor, etc. Families whose oldest swimmer is 8 or younger are only required to work 2 meet positions, but we hope these families will seek out other ways to help the team outside of meets.  

 Parents are also asked to volunteer assistance or supplies for 1 team social event (breakfast, party, banquet) and to participate in a team fundraiser. Fundraising activities include providing baked or packaged goods for bake sales at each home meet and possibly other activities being planned.

Questions? Please contact: Allison LeBuhn or Carolyn Campbell regarding Meet positions, Kristen Knoebber for Social Events and Karen Jordan for Fundraising-- contact information listed below.
