This is the last week of regular practice and we are gearing up for Champs! We have our last home meet and it’s Senior night. Our Junior Seadragons will be showing us what they have learned this season at our Breakfast of Champions and Junior Seadragons Meet on Friday. Bonus on Friday will be our Team picture and (optional) individual/sibling pictures. It will be a great week!

Sign up for a picture time slot, volunteer or donate items>>

Picture Info: Our big group picture (ALL age groups) will be from 9 - 9:15am. Individual/sibling/friend pictures will be both before and after the group picture and sign ups are open. Everyone will receive a digital copy of the group picture that you can print at your favorite picture printing location. Individual/sibling/friend pictures taken will have download/rights to print and will accept monetary donations to the Seadragons. Sign up for a slot just like you would to volunteer for a job.

Championships – As we gear up for Championships, a couple of things to do:

**Coach Jen will send a more comprehensive message to the team after we have our league meeting.

• Sign your swimmer up/check their availability or send a message to the coaches [email protected].
• Volunteers are Needed – a big endeavor like Champs need all families who have swimmers in the meet to assist. Wyoming is responsible to provide volunteers for Timers/Backup Timers and Relief. We have slots for every session. Please sign up to assist or if you’d like to contribute to hiring a teen, we’ve typically paid teens $40 per volunteer session (since it’s not at our home pool). Venmo contributions to @April-Robles-2

End of the Season Celebration – Our end of the season celebration will be on Wednesday, July 19 - 7pm at the Wyoming Civic Center. Awards, Medals, and Ribbons will be distributed. Desserts and drinks will be provided. Let us know if you can be there and add a note to let us know how many family members can attend so we can plan. RSVP here>. Sign up to volunteer or donate items>>

Gift to Coaches: Our Coaches did an amazing job working with our swimmers. If you’d like to contribute to a group gift card to the Coaches as a special thanks, you can give April or Rich cash or check during Champs or Venmo @April-Robles-2 by Wednesday, July 20 at noon so we can present a gift card to the coaches at the celebration.

Help Support an up and coming swim team!
My name is Amanda Snyder and I am the proud parent of Wyoming Seadragon 15 y/o Joe Snyder. I am also a Spanish teacher at Western Hills University High School and headed into my 4th year of teaching there (my 10th year overall). Last year, I was blessed with the opportunity to start a school swim team. (Read more about the team’s recognition) I have a lot to do as we work on building our swim team so I am reaching out for your help. I am in need of gently used/new items such as goggles, swimsuits, towels, swim caps etc. My students/swimmers are high school aged students who want to learn how to swim and be part of the school swim team so any help getting us started with what we need to be successful would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to grow the team each year. If you have any questions you can email me at [email protected]. If you would prefer to donate money instead of gently used or new items, you may venmo me at @Amanda-Snyder-14. I greatly appreciate your assistance and support as I work to build my school swim team.

Sincerely,

Amanda Snyder

We will have a special donation bin/and collection available during the Junior Seadragon Meet on Friday
