TOP OF THE MORNING TO YOU, SAILFISH FAMILY!!!

We’re going to get right to it this morning, because this SCOOP is going out late. Plus, I really tried to find some good knock-knock jokes about Independence Day to include here, but really couldn’t find any. (I suppose that’s because FREEDOM RINGS. Duh.) Here’s the SCOOP FOR THIS MORNING!!!

NO PRACTICE JULY 4 & JULY 5

Enjoy the holiday and stay safe!

MODIFIED PRACTICE SCHEDULE NEXT WEEK

Please be sure to check the schedule that Coach Henry included in his email yesterday.

END OF SEASON SAILFISH BANQUET - BUY YOUR TICKETS SOON!

End of Season Sailfish Banquet | Saturday, July 13, 2024, 5:30 pm - 10:00 pm.

Celebrate an ENDLESS SUMMER at our annual end-of-season banquet. We'll be offering a buffet dinner catered by Cafe Rio and dessert. Dinner, awards, dancing and fun for our Sailfish and all their families! Purchase your tickets by Sunday, July 7. (Go to our website and login. Click on “Online Store.”)

Our menu is allergen-friendly. We'll have GF and vegan options as well. If you have additional food allergy concerns, please contact Colleen Kaufman with any questions.

A note on attire...many guests, including our coaches, enjoy dressing up in "Resort Casual" for this party. Swimming is optional for this event but most of the kids will want to swim at some point (and some parents, too), so bring or wear your swimsuit if you’d like. Lifeguards will be present and the Baby Pool will be open!

Meal Tickets: $20 Adults & Children (Ages 13+) $15 Children (Ages 3-12).

END-OF SEASON COACHES GIFTS

At the end of each season, we collect cash gifts for our coaches. We’ll distribute them at our end-of-season banquet. If you would like to contribute, you can contribute on our website. (Go to the website, log in, and choose “Online Store.” You will see the Coaches’ Gifts available there. Please note that you can select more than one denomination and more than one of any listed denomination to add up to the total amount you want to contribute.) These gifts, though totally optional, are greatly appreciated by our hard-working coaches and volunteer coaches.

SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS FOR THE END-OF-SEASON VIDEO

Did you capture amazing photos of your swimmer and their Sailfish friends this season? Submit them for potential inclusion in the end of season video that will be shared at the banquet!

Please keep in mind horizontal images are preferred to fit within the movie screen. We will try to include as many photos as possible along with all the video footage we’ve been capturing throughout the season.

Text your high quality photos by Wednesday, July 10 to Colleen and Kris Kaufman at 310.880.5952 (Colleen) or EMAIL THEM HERE.

Thanks!! 

MAKE-UP TEAM PHOTOS

Imagetek Photography is offering a makeup for photos if you missed picture day. There’s no guarantee that it will make it to the group photo but you can get the individuals. You can reach out to Patrick by calling him at 303-797-5027. He said you can come to another swim team or other sport photo day. Just reach out to him and he’ll get you all set up! Or text Imagetek at +1 (303) 955-0375.

PICK UP YOUR RIBBONS!!!

Your swimmers worked hard for them, so be sure to have them pick them up! Ribbons that swimmers earn at meets (and occasionally other items, like Super Swimmer awards, etc.) are in a box kept on the main desk at the pool. Be sure that you pick yours up!

That’s all there is for this Sailfish SCOOP. Have a GREAT Independence Day! 

(Again - missed opportunity for another joke here. Maybe something about the Liberty Bell? I’d hoped to find one that really cracked me up… Haha.)

LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOU ARE SWIMMING!
