Good luck on Saturday against Downs Farm! Unfortunately, I will not be at the meet I had made prior arrangements for this weekend before I knew I was coaching. I know you guys are going to do great, you’ve been working really hard the past two weeks. Show off that Wenonah Energy !

Time Trials

Swimmers & Parents,

Saturday, June 18th will be our swimmers first opportunity to post times for the season. 13-14 and 15-18 year olds will warm-up at 7:45 and begin Time Trials at 8:00 (50 of each stroke and a 100 IM). 9-10 and 11-12 year olds should be at the pool no later then 8:30. 9-10's will swim a 50 free & 25 of the other 3 strokes, while the 11-12's will swim a 50 of each stroke & a 100 IM. The 8 & under swimmers should be at the pool no later then 9:15. Each 8 & under will swim a 25 of each stroke, if he/she is uncomfortable or does not know how to swim a certain stroke YET they do not have to swim it at the time trial (we will be learning butterfly over the next 3 days ). Please be on time for your swimmers listed arrival time, everything will run much quicker if everyone is there to be placed in appropriate heats and lanes. Based on the practices that we have been having, I am looking forward to seeing what our swimmer are capable of doing.

If you can not make the time trial this Saturday its not the end of the world, however if a swimmer does not have times I can not put them in the lineup for the following weeks first "A" meet of the season.

Coach Chris

Golf Outing Fundraiser - RESULTS

On behalf of the Wenonah Swim and Dive Team, I would like to thank Dave Rucci, Rud Porter, and Brian Briggs for all their hard work and dedication to this year's golf outing.  Their efforts (along with everyone's generosity and contributions) raised over $4,000 for the Swim and Dive Team.  We will use the money to supplement our coaches salaries, buy the team gifts for the kids, and get some new equipment for both the swim team and the dive team.  This year's outing was amazing and a great time was had by all...except those that left their putt SHORT in front of 30-40 people at the putting contest!  I would also like to thank CJ Sprigman and Connie Han for volunteering their time and energy as well.  Dave and Brian started this event last year and based on this year's success, I'm sure it will become a long lasting Wenonah tradition that benefits our kids for years to come.  Thanks very much guys!

Thanks,

Swim Clinic

Swimmers and Parents,

This Saturday, June 9th Wenonah will be holding their 2nd annual swim clinic from 7:30am - 9:30am. The clinic is FREE to anyone on the swim team. The first hour (7:30-8:30) will be for swimmers 11-18 years old. The second hour (8:30-9:30) will be for swimmers 10 and under. I am trying to have a couple special guest coaches to come in and help coach the swim clinic. This will be a great way for swimmers of all ages to improve their technique in all of the strokes. I hope to see all of you there!!

Also please send your kids with swimming fins to practice everyday. We will not use them every single day, but I would rather the kids have them everyday just incase. It is very important to the 8 & under swimmers to have them, we will be using them most days!

Coach Chris

Wenonah Swimming: week one and swim clinic

Wenonah Swimmers & Parents,

Our first week of the season got off to a great start. We had a good turn out in all the age groups. I am especially excited about our 8 and under group this year. There is a huge number of little guys that are "A" meet ready 3 weeks before our first meet!!! To top it all off, not a single kid complained that the water was too cold.

This Saturday June 11th, The coaching staff will be holding our annual free swim clinic. It will be open to anyone on the swim team. I will post the times of the swim clinic by the end of tomorrow. It will be broken up into two separate age groups (11 and over the 10 and under). Hope to see everyone there.

Coach Chris

Swim & Dive Team Golf Outing - Who Hasn't Paid or Signed Up?

Just a reminder, that we are only two weeks away from the golf outing.  This is the biggest fundraiser of the season and we need for it to be a success.  For those that haven't paid, we REALLY need your check ASAP.  Our primary fundraiser of the year will be a great success as long as we fill the foursomes.  Any unpaid no-shows will cost the team $$$$, so please get a check, made out to "Wenonah Swim Club" to Brian Briggs, Dave Rucci, Rud Porter or me right away.  Checks can be dropped off at the club and placed in the Briggs, Porter, Rucci, or McNamara family folder at the front desk.  Remember June 10th is just around the corner!

Thanks,

Re: 2011 Swim & Dive Team Fundraiser

We've already made over $150 for the team!

Since today is the first day of May, you may be wondering what to do with the clothes that you're kids have out grown.  We have our new clothing drop bin in the parking lot of the swim club, which will directly benefit the swim and dive teams.  You can drop clothing, shoes, boots, cleats, linens, blankets, and stuffed animals, as long as they're in usable condition.

The Wenonah Swim & Dive Team will make $0.15 per pound with a minimum of $500.00 for the season.  It's easy and convenient.  Please forward this and let everyone know where to drop their donations.

Help us get a great start for the 2011 season!

Thanks,
Dave McNamara

Although most of you haven't even dusted off the irons yet, we wanted to give everyone plenty of time to get their foresomes together for what looks to be a great time and a great fundraiser for the swim and dive teams.  $100 entry fee includes golf, cart, a gift, prizes and a catered lunch by Bogey's.  Ask anyone that made it on short notice last year, it was a great time and this year will be even better!  We will be playing a scramble (best ball) format with great prizes for the best and worst teams.  All proceeds will benefit the Wenonah Swim & Dive Teams, so please help us fill the golf course and make this event a success!  Forward this to everyone you know!

We are looking for hole sponsors, so please contact Rud Porter at rudyardp@yahoo.com or (215) 240-4369, if you are interested or know someone who might be able to help.  Contact Dave Rucci (roochman@comcast.net) or Brian Briggs (briggsy123@comcast.net), if you would like to volunteer.

Saturday is the day of the Cann Family Fund Raiser.  This is the last chance to get your tickets, get your donations in or just help out.  Everything is going pretty good, it is just a little hectic putting the final items together.  The event should be great thanks to all of the donations and support we have gotten from everyone.  If your still up in the air about attending you will be missing out on a great event and a chance to go home with some GREAT PRIZES!  Would you like, a trip to NYC with a 1 night stay at a NYC quality hotel and David Letterman tickets?  How about 4 Phillie's Luxury Suite Tickets including food and drink? How about a 3 night stay in the Pocono's over 4th of July weekend at the Prestigious Greystone Preserve.   How about, you name it we got it. Do miss out!  Contact me ASAP

Thank you
