Swim Club members,
The season is well on its way and the holidays are fast approaching. In case you missed some of the emails covering various events, I'll recap the past month, comment on upcoming activities, and share a summary of key topics from our last Board meeting on November 14th.
1. Let's Swim. We had 22 SaddleBrooke residents complete our 17th Lets Swim clinic. This is an excellent way for the club to help our fellow residents gain confidence in their swimming abilities. Thank you to all our outstanding coaches who helped lead this clinic: Lyn, Steve, Allison, Jay, Larry, Liz, Terry, Carl, Claire, Bill, and Mark.
2. Fall Social and Meeting. Approximately 85 club members/significant others attended our social on October 24th. This was a great opportunity to get to know our newer members and get caught up with teammates since last Spring. We held a brief business meeting and recognized our latest group of All-Americans (all of our club All-Americans are found on our website. Under The Club tab, click Our Champions)
3. Comprehensive Swim and Social Events Calendar 2022-23 Our swim events and socials have been set and/or tentatively placed on the calendar for planning purposes. The calendar can be found on our website saddlebrookeswimclub.org under the events tab.
4. Ron Johnson Meet. The meet was held on October 29th and 30th at the ASU pool in Tempe, AZ. About 200 swimmers participated, including 24 from the SaddleBrooke Swim Club. The Swim Club turned in a 2nd place performance in the "large teams" category, with six athletes earning a "high point" award as follows: Samantha Martoni, Stan Strebig, Terry Heggy, Doug Springer, Wendy Weinberg, and Gloria Tolaro. Congratulations to all "high point" winners for their excellent work and to every swimmer (and significant other) who attended the meet!
5. Logo/Caps/Suits/Towels. As you may know, the Swim Club has a newly updated logo! Swim Club apparel featuring this new logo will gradually be "rolled out" over the next few months. We are currently taking orders for personalized swim caps through the end of December, and we expect to offer custom swimsuits and towels starting in January. For more info or questions: Claire.Guidas@gmail.com.
6. Long Distance Meet. The club will be hosting this meet February 25th/26th. Larry John is doing a great job preparing for the event. For those interested in competing, watch for additional information soon. This is a club event, and we'll need non-competitive members to help support the meet by timing, hospitality, lap counters, etc. Please put this on your calendars!
On behalf of myself and the Swim Board, have a great Thanksgiving! See you at the pool.
Mark Randall
President-Swim Board
