27th Annual Spook Splash 2010-2011 Team Meets

We have

chosen which

meets we the

Lander Swim

Club will be

attending as

a team this

winter

season. This

allows us to better plan our training and

gives athletes and parents a better

timeline to set goals to attend the meets.

SAVE THESE DATES!

The Lander Swim Club hosts

one of the very first meets

of the winter season and it

is approaching fast. The

meet provides us all with

many opportunities:

‐a chance for swimmers to

experience their first meet

at home

‐a chance for parents to

share in the excitement

‐a chance to see old friends

and make new ones from

all Wyoming

‐our biggest fund raiser for

the year!

We need your help!

Volunteers are still needed

for various tasks. Please

sign up for timing,

concession stand, or other

jobs at the Lander Swim

Club bulletin board at the

pool. Please email us at

[email protected] to

volunteer, too.

When athletes arrive we

will put their event, heat,

and lane numbers on their

arms with indelible ink so

they know when they swim.

The baby pool will be

drained to make our team

area. It’s important for

swimmers to stay in the

team area as much as

possible.

Lander Swim Club Rules:

A tiger shark’s home is the pool—Take Care of It

Take care of yourself, be prepared for

practices and meets.

Take care of your teammates.

Wondering what your athlete

should pack for the meet? Here’s a

helpful checklist:

Suit, goggles, cap

2‐3 towels

Extra warm clothes to

wear in between events

Snacks or money for

concessions

Books/homework

Games, cards, Legos

Swimmers can bring electronic

games but coaches will ask

swimmers to turn them off to

focus on their events when

necessary.

It can be a challenge for

athletes to set their sights

on Winter State because it

can seem so far away. Goals

can help swimmers attend

practices because they have

something specific they are

working to achieve. Meets

and competition teach

athletes concepts they will

use their whole lives like

how to handle nervousness,

how to psych themselves up.

They learn to how to focus

on both the process of

working toward something

and performing. At swim

meets they learn how to

make new friends, and the

emotions that go with

winning and disappointment.

Please help your athletes

make goals by showing them

what they have done in the

past and be supportive of

what they want to do in the

future. USA Swimming has

wonderful times database that

helps athletes track their

progress: www.usaswimming.org.
