Hello Cuda Parents!

We hope all the kids are having a great start to school, and that you'll be back with us next summer! We have a few things for you to start thinking about, so please read through the email.

We want to give some info for next year, including board positions that will need filling in order for the team to happen. While we have a couple months before a new board is appointed, please reach out if you have any interest now so that we can answer any questions, and gauge if we will have a season, as we can't have a season without people to run it.

As of now:

Pete Hubert is stepping down as president, leaving open a spot, as his youngest is now in college. A huge thank you to Pete for all he has done over the many years!!!
Danya Bloch will move up from VP to President for at least 1 year.
Marcia Duryea will continue as treasurer for one more term.
We have Katja Dow to move up as VP. We NEED a secretary!!
Josh Gallagher will be stepping down as statistician, as his son most likely will not be swimming next year, but is willing to help train someone. This position is probably the most important- we literally cannot participate in meets without a statistician. It is possible for 2, or even 3, people to team up for it, so feel free to talk to your friends about sharing, and please reach out NOW with interest or questions!  This position requires you, or one person in your group, to be at each meet and enter times, finishing positions, and dq's as they come in, to a team provided laptop. You'd also print out the labels for ribbons from the team printer with supplied materials.  

We will be hosting champs on our own next year- which will mean your participation will be required for a shift- so please save the date of July 27th! If you absolutely cannot be there that day, please reach out early to take on a role in another position that will aid in our efforts. Hosting Champs is a big responsibility (and a requirement to be in our league), but also can bring the team a big reward, so it's all hands on deck... literally!

Just a reminder that if someone signs up for the first time, and notes you as a referral, you'll get a discount code to save on registration!!! As you probably know, summer swim is one of the best ways to get conditioned for other sports. It's low impact (giving joints a rest), but builds endurance and lung capacity. People ask me all the time how my son got so fast on the soccer field- the answer is SUMMER SWIM!!!! Swim is NOT "his sport," but he enjoys it well enough, and it really helps him with his sports! So an ultimate passion for swim is not a requirement for being on the team! We ask that our swimmers are team players, and are willing to challenge themselves. That's it! As an added bonus, the more families we have on the team, the less volunteer shifts we have to require of each family! Please start planting the seeds on your fall sport sidelines now!

If you're interested in taking on a coordinator position for the team in general, or continuing your position, please let us know ASAP so we reserve it for you! 

Thank you!
Pete, Danya, Marcia, Katja, and Josh
