Fun Event

Post date: Mar 13, 2015 2:00:07 AM

Hi Ladies (parents too),

Coach Holly's sister is putting on a great event which she has written a little something below. I am looking for at least 10 girls to take on this challenge and support this great cause. Please get a hold of Holly (hollykay@charter.net ) or her sister if you have any questions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am swimming across the "Mighty Mac" on Labor Day 2015. This swim is between 4-6 miles depending on currents etc... For more information about the swim please follow: http://www.mightymacswim.com/

In order to swim each swimmer is to raise $2,800 benefiting Habitat for Humanity.

To help raise money I am hosting a "mock swim meet." The swim meet will be held at East Grand Rapids High School pool on Saturday March 21st, 2015. Warm up will start at 4:30PM and the meet will start at 5PM. If you want to deck enter (not suggested) that registration will close at 4:30 in order to get names entered into the system.

Registration forms are posted. Cost is $25 to swim 4 events plus 2 optional relays. If you want to swim in a relay (only 200 Medley & 200 Freestyle) you MUST register with me (no deck entries for relays). If you decide you want to be in a relay with someone in particular please tell me who you'd like to swim with. Otherwise I will make relays based on preferred stroke.

To pay for the event follow http://www.mightymacswim.com/ click donate in the upper right corner. In the drop down click on my name. Enter registration amount ($25) and follow instructions. I will be emailed when you pay.

Also, please either print out release of liability paperwork (if you're a minor please print the release of liability for a minor) and bring with you, or sign the release when you get to the meet.

A few notes:

No pools will let me rent their scoring systems, so we will have hand timers (not that we are scoring the meet anyways). We will be diving in off the side (again won't let me use blocks- liability issue).

The entrance to the pool at EGR is off of Wealthy next to the new Jose Babushka restaurant. . Please park in the Bagley lot to the West of the school.

I'm really looking forward to this event! Please register ASAP so that I can let EGR know how many people to anticipate.

Let me know if you have any questions. Please pass on to any family/ friends you think would be interested!
