Practice Week Tapering

The week before Champs is referred to as taper week. Our swimmers will be tapering down in preparation for the Champs meet. This means that they will swim less yardage.

Eric and Shawn will have them work on sprints, relay starts, turns and finishes. Because the practices will focus on intensity, rather than endurance all practices will end approximately 15 minutes earlier (8:00 - 9:15, 9:30 - 10:15, 10:30 - 11:15, and 11:30 - 12:00).


4:40 - 5:20 Friday Practice at Chabot College

Remember: There will be no practice at the Chabot Swim Club on Friday, July 26. Instead, the practice will be held at Chabot College from 4:40 - 5:20. Each team is assigned three lanes in the deep end and three lanes in the shallow end.

Please purchase a parking pass from the yellow machines in the parking lot on Friday and another on Saturday. The cost is $1, the parking fine is $25. Vehicles may exit and return.

The cost is $5 for adults, and $3 for kids (payable at the door). Please sign up on the bulletin board if you're coming for dinner so we know how much to order.

We also need volunteers to serve at 5:00 and clean up at 6:00. The Talent Show begins after dinner.


Swim Wars - Attack of the Marlins T-shirts

Those fabulous T-shirts (designed by Mark Racette) have arrived. Suzi will pass them out to all who have paid from Monday through Thursday. Thursday through Sunday, Darlene Saunders will pass them out. Contact Suzi if you lost a T-shirt at the Glenmoor meet.

Champs Program Sales

There will be a limited number of programs available. If you didn't purchase one in advance, you may do so on Saturday for $10.

Champs Info

Included with your Marlin Memo (in your Child's folder or received by email), you will find your Champs Volunteer Assignment and an informational packet from the league. Please read this information carefully. If you have questions, please contact Suzi or Vicki.

All 100 swimmers and their parents can't fit into the space that is designated to us on the deck. We also have another space designated to our team by the basketball courts. Please set up your chairs, tents and coolers at that location. When your child isn't swimming, you will want to hang out there.

Team Spirit Activities - We will do a one minute cheer between 8:05 and 8:15. We are unable to include swimmers in this cheer if they have been called to line up for the medley relay.

IMPORTANT: Please remove the contents of your child's file by Thursday. Ribbon Coordinator, Maria Lindgren, needs to bring the box to Champs for Awards distribution there.
