Dear SBAC Families,

It was brought to my attention this week that some families have been dropped from the team list and didn’t receive recent e-mail messages. I don’t know how this happened but I apologize for the mistake and I’ll do my best at making sure everyone is included on the list. Here’s my additional solution for the future: I will continue to send out an e-mails on Sunday night (and the occasional one during the week) but I will also post the information on the team blog swimsbac.com. If you’re ever unsure about the schedule or the latest news on team events please go to the website.

Here’s a few quick hits before the weekend.

1. I put in an order for long-sleeved SBAC swim team t-shirts last week. I talked to the designer today and he said that the order would be finished tomorrow. Because we have a swim meet in Ojai on Saturday I am going to bring the t-shirts to afternoon swim practice on Friday. I don't have a final cost per item yet, but the cost is likely to be around $15. These shirts are 100% cotton so I’d recommend getting one on the larger side. (I didn’t purchase any XSMALL, only SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE and XL. If the team runs out of a particular size I will make an additional order as soon as possible). I will only accept cash for the t-shirts.
2. I will not be attending the swim meet in Ojai this Saturday but Carolyn and Amanda will be there to assist your athletes with coaching and support. (I will be at a different swim meet with our older kids). Carolyn will be selling team swim caps at the swim meet in Ojai at the cost of $3 each.
3. Please try to arrive at the swim meet in Ojai at least 45 minutes before the start of the competition to make sure you are signed in and warm-up up for the day.

see you at the pool
