Activities:
- We will have prize boxes for the swimmers to pick from based on how many laps they swim! All water themed objects or Overlee Colors. Who doesn’t want a dinosaur rubber ducky or some orange sunglasses?!
- The top 2 swimmers (most laps swum) for each age group will win a 30 minute lesson with one of the coaches!
- Throughout each hour we will have fun relays, and team spirited challenges for the swimmers to participate in!
- Get ready to jam out to some music, and belt out some of your favorite songs as you swim
Volunteers:
- Parent/s must come to come and help their swimmer count laps or arrange for a stand in as needed.
- We also need parent volunteers for snacks/drinks for the swimmers to fuel up on after they swim. Last names A – J bring bagels/cream cheese, donuts, or pre-packaged snacks. Last names K – Z bring bottled water or Gatorade. Food and drink can be brought up to the grassy area when you arrive for your child’s hour.
- We ask that 2-3 parents help us to pick up after the event (SENIOR PARENTS PLEASE).
