OBX Swim Club

Yard Sale on Saturday, May 31st

We are preparing for a group Yard Sale to benefit OBX Swim Club on Saturday, May 31st, 6-11 A.M. at Compass Rose (beside Walgreens).   Please bring your items priced and if you have tables to use for setting items on please bring them too.  I have 2 tables and a tent.  Swimmers are encouraged to participate!!  Also, Swimmers - please make a bold, colorful poster or two for display day of event: Yard Sale, Baked Goods, Breakfast, Support OBX Swim Club...be creative!

I am going to bring coffee to sell and Sandy Moore is looking into a donation of biscuits.  If you would like to bring a whole baked good to sell that would be great.  For example- brownies, cake, pies, muffins, cookies, etc...This will be our last fund-raiser of the season so lets make it a good one! 

Please let me know if you can not be there.  If you do not have items for a yard sale - ask your friends, neighbors, moms if they have anything to donate.  The more items, the better!  Check your swimmer's folder for a flyer this week and if you have any questions contact me... Thanks!  Amy Lowe 441-5883 or 619-4956.

Nalgene Bottle Health Concerns

Early last week, some parents expressed concern about the Nalgene team water bottles and their affect on health.  After doing some research and making calls to the Nalgene offices, following is a link that may help to clear up concerns and provide further information:

WOW!!!!  All children that swam this past weekend did great.  I was so inspired by the way the entire team swam, and can't wait to see what we can do at the Derby meet in a couple of weeks.

Congrats to NEW age group champ swimmers and events:

Kate Donati -- 50 Backstroke
Sarah Mandis -- 50 Freestyle

Great Job ladies and to everyone else for a job well done!!

All swimmers that were eligible to go to Bolles are now signed up.  Get ready to have some fun in another 2 months.  I will have a tentative itinerary sent out to all participants at the end of this month. 

The invitations for the month of June are posted at the YMCA at this point.  There will be invitations via e-mail sent out very shortly.  Please check in the next week or so.
