Millburn Pool Summer Swim Team

Fell a little behind, but our Millburn kids notched a win against North Caldwell on Thursday night. As you have come to expect, no detailed results. But I really, really hope to catch up this coming weekend. We'll see.

In the first home meet of the year, Millburn emerged victorious against a tough East Hanover team!

One of these days I'll be home for long enough to actually get some results posted. Really. I promise. Until then, you at least know that we won. And then we try to do it again tomorrow night!

HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE! 

Every year we usually put together some sort of swim team apparel.  We have a bit of a new look this year! Attached to this email is the flier, I will also print copies of this to put in all of the mail boxes.  Orders must be into Tom or I by WEDNESDAY July 7th or LATEST Thursday July 8th at practice.  

We will not accept orders after Thursday morning at practice.

Wednesday is picture day! Pictures will start at the pool at 3:30.  Please plan to be at the pool between 3:15-3:30.  If you are getting an individual picture taken, make sure you have your team suit on at the pool at 3:30!

We are starting the swim meet a bit early.  We wish to get all of these pictures done quick including the team shot! The meet will start at 5:45 with a 4:45 warm up!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

Once again, clothing forms are due Wednesday July 7th, latest Thursday July 8th at practice. Swim team photos 3:30 at the pool.  Warm up at 4:45, swim meet 5:45!   Have a happy 4th!! 

2010 Order Form

Coach Kelly

Dear Parents,

I would first like to thank the parents' work and commitment to help keep this team running. As the Coaches, Tom and I consider ourselves very lucky to receive the strong support we have had so early in the season. We appreciate the work of all our volunteers in timing, marshaling, scoring, ribbon writing, and the activities that are still to come.

However, we had some organizational difficulty at the Summit meet that forced us to make over 65 scratches, replacements, and adjustments to our Meet Sheet. Please understand that it takes us several hours to put every swimmer into events they want to swim on top of arranging relays. When we find out at the last minute that a swimmer cannot attend it forces us to reorganize all the events they were slated to swim. For example, at the Summit meet, we were forced to scratch two relay teams because one member of the team did not show up, and we did not have enough time to find a replacement. This means that 8 swimmers were unable to swim, simply because we were not informed. It is very stressful and upsetting for us as coaches to have to tell several swimmers that they wont get a chance to swim because one person had not told us they were not coming.

In order to assure that future meets run smoothly, we ask that if your child cannot make it to the swim meet, you tell one of the coaches by the end of the practice two days before. You can contact us by phone, email, or tell us in person.

So, please call/email/tell us if your swimmer(s) will be attending the Wednesday night HOME meet against East Hanover by 11:15 AM Monday morning.
Following that, please let us know for Thursday night's HOME meet against North Caldwell by 11:15 AM Tuesday morning.

For those who have been prompt in making us aware of your childrens' absences, we are most appreciative.

Thank you,
The Coaches
