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
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.

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.
