There’s a lot of swim team activity going on this week as we head into the final leg of the season so please make sure you keep this email handy, and read to the end.
Monday Evening Meet @ Pleasant Valley - IM First: On Monday evening we will travel to Pleasant Valley for our 4th developmental meet of the season. Greenbriar warm-ups will begin promptly at 5:20PM so ensure your swimmer is at the pool in their Greenbriar Team Suit and Team cap ready to swim at that time by 5:05PM. The Individual Medley (IM) events (#45 - #54) will be swum first. The rest of the events (#1 - 44) will follow in order (free, back, breast, fly). The meet sheet will be posted, but will still show the normal meet order. We do still have several volunteer positions we need to fill to get this meet started and finished so sign up for a job your family can complete for the team on the job sign up page here.
Monday Team Movie - Despicable Me 4: Looking to beat the heat in the AC. Come join the team at the Monday Team Movie. More details to follow, but you can RSVP for your swimmers and coaches here: RSVP for Monday Movie
Team Pictures on Thursday:On Thursday morning, Olson Photography will be at the pool ready to begin shooting individual photos of our 13-18s and Early Bird swimmers at 7:30AM, followed by the team photo and then individual photos for our remaining swimmers. All younger swimmers should arrive by 8:25AM to be lined up for the team photo. We encourage all swimmers to attend in their team suit so that our team photo is representative of our team. Olson has implemented a digital order form in addition to having their traditional envelopes for cash/check payment (available on Tuesday). Digital ordering instructions can be found here. After you create your account you will login to place an order. To complete the order, our Head Coach’s last name is McAndrews and you will find “Greenbriar Swim” in the league dropdown.After pictures several of our families are heading down to King’s Dominion.
Saturday Meet Kings Ridge @ Greenbriar:Next Saturday morning is our final NVSL dual meet of the season. As it’s also our final home meet of the season we will celebrate our graduating seniors (Ted Kim, Sky Lan, Evie Miller, Coach Will Murphy, Andy Reynolds, and Keira Cooley). The deadline to indicate whether your swimmer is available for consideration or not is Monday night. You may do so in the Swimtopia Mobile app or click here.
13&Over Progressive Dinner (Saturday): One of our long-standing traditions is on the evening of our final Saturday meet is a Progressive Dinner for our swimmers aged 13 & Over. We need to know whether your 13&over swimmer will be in attendance so that hosts can plan accordingly by indicating as such here. We also have signups available for 13&over parents to assist our hosts in making this a fun evening for our 13&over swimmers.
Pictures Needed: This season we’ve not had dedicated photographers capturing those exciting moments for our team on and off the pool deck. Because of this we need those pictures you’ve captured of our swimmers that you’re willing to share for our end-of-season slideshow. If you have photos you'd like to share, please feel free to upload to the album 2024 Season Photos
