31 SWIMMERS REGISTERED FOR WINTER 2010-1: DEPOSITS DUE JULY 15TH;

SUMMER SEASON/PROMOTION SCHEDULE EXPLAINED:

 

            Last week, information regarding the Winter 2010-11 training session was mailed out to each swimmer. Within that information, direction was given that Elite Swimmers wishing to return to Elite to train next year must mail their $300 deposit ($300 deposit per swimmer, not family) to Coach Bill by Thursday, July 15. All swimmers who mail in their deposit will reserve a training spot in their training group.

 

            Here is the link to the list of Elite swimmers registered for Winter 2010-11: http://www.eliteswimclub.org/Tryouts%202/Home%20Page.htm

 

            This procedure allows Elite to understand its training group sizes prior to tryouts (on Tuesday, July 20). The deposit also triggers the purchase this summer of a team uniform for each swimmer.          

 

            Swimmers who miss the deposit deadline but decide they would like to train with Elite will need to attend one of the two Elite tryouts to earn a roster spot.

 

“SOFT SELLING” ELITE IS LIFEBLOOD OF CLUB;

BILL AVAILABLE FOR CLINICS AT SUMMER CLUBS

 

            Summer Swim Teams are the lifeblood of year round swim clubs like Elite. Swimmers who enjoy the training and competition of their summer clubs form the vast majority of new swimmers into “winter” or “club” swimming.  

            The expected terrific swimming performed by Elite swimmers this coming summer in their dual meet and championship competition will be the main selling point of the club. Elite swimmers will be among the best (if not the best) swimmers in their races. They should be, they have worked hard and have earned that right!!  

            Parents of Elite swimmers are requested to “soft-sell” Elite; meaning they should await an approach by an interested swimmers/parents, but then earnestly provide information to such people upon their approach. Elite parents and swimmers are highly encouraged to point perspective swimmers to the team website and to instruct interested parties to email Bill regarding questions about the club.

            As in past summers, Head Coach Bill is available to provide a swim clinic at local summer clubs. If your summer club or summer swim coach has an interest in a clinic by Bill, please contact Bill to set up a clinic date!
