Happy last week of the season GMST families!

This season has gone by so fast and it is hard to believe we are in the last week of practices. Just a reminder that Friday, July 25th will be our last practice. 

Beaver Brook Meet: Our last swim meet of the season is Tuesday, July 22nd. Please RSVP online by today at 4 pm. If you RSVP to attend, please ensure that your kids are at the meet. We have had recent issues with swimmers not showing up after RSVPing yes- which affects our coaching staff and other swimmers when we have to cancel relays or move things around last minute. There are also still volunteer positions that need to be filled for the meet- please sign up to help us at this last meet! The meet theme is Western. 

Smoky Mountain Invite: We have SMI this weekend over at Springbrook. The 11 & ups will swim on Saturday, and 10 & unders on Sunday. More information regarding the meet will be sent out when we get it. A few have asked so just a reminder that we cannot add any more swimmers into the meet. The deadline to register for the meet was last Thursday, so if you did not sign up by then, we cannot get you into the meet. 

Team Banquet: Our banquet is on Tuesday, July 29th from 5:30-8:30 at the pool. We will be swimming and will have dinner and awards. Please try to RSVP yes or no online for this so we can get a good headcount. The banquet committee is working on food options now and a solid headcount would really help with planning.

PR Board: If you have seen the PB'O'Meter at the pool recently, you can see that we have achieved 848 best times on the season so far. To celebrate getting to the 800 time mark, we will have ice cream for the swimmers after their practice on Wednesday. This will be for morning and night practice, but is limited to one per swimmer.  

Swimmers of the Week: These swimmers showed outstanding performance at City Meet and practices this week. They have gone above and beyond both this week and the whole summer. The swimmers are:

Ky Smither, Bryce Bronner, Wade Shewmake, and Sloan Hodges

Make sure you see Coach Sam for your certificate and prize. 

Be on the lookout for meet information emails this week and good luck to all our swimmers that are starting school back this week.
