Today's E-mail


Getting an email from the YDC swim team is now kind of like finding a ticking time-bomb in your inbox.  But today's email was instructive.

The Y team typically sponsors a Winter Splash swim meet in January.  This is what used to be (I think) the MEYO Octopus meet, and it's the weekend of the 11th and 12th (I'll be out of town).  The problem is that most of the people who used to run the meets -- they volunteered to do this -- have left the team, so replacements for the Volunteer Coordinator, Head Scorer, the person who runs the Colorado, Head of Clerk of Course, Head of Awards, and Officials all have to found!

It will surprise me if this meet runs.

This weekend I'm meeting with parents of other HS swimmers to talk about what we'll be doing at the end of the season.

  1. I hear you on the emails; we received a few more today and that stone in my stomach appeared again (and with good reason since it looks like another tempest in a teapot).

    1. Guess I wasn't clear: the email was about the Winter Splash, and which volunteers are needed. MR wants to figure out if it's feasible to run it.

  3. The interesting thing in the email (to me, at least), was the comment that this would be the last meet of the year, i.e. no YMCA Silver State.
