Hello Everyone,
 
The Blizzard Classic is quickly approaching this coming weekend! This is a great opportunity for all the 11 and over swimmers to experience a trials and finals championship format swim meet, with the 10 and unders having a fun session between the trials and finals. Here are some quick notes:
 
1) Hospitality: Anyone who would like to donate fruit, baked goods or anything for the coaches, officials and parent volunteers are asked to email Carol before Thursday, so she can coordinate menus. Carols email address is ajm227@comcast.net
 
2) Entry and warm up times are posted at the website. Please be 15 minutes early for all warm ups.

3) Finals: Please remember Finals for 11&12 will include a final heat, 13-14 and Open will include a consolation and final heat with the exception of all Friday events are timed finals and selected 13-14 events will be one heat for finals. All swimmers who make finals are expected back in the evening.
 
4) Parent work schedule: We will post the parent work schedule shortly. However, please remember that it is NSSC policy for parents to work when their child is swimming. One North Shore Swim Club parent per family is required to help in all NSSC hosted meets that your child participates in. These meets are the only fundraising responsibilities put upon each family for the entire year. Parents will be responsible for as many sessions as your child is participating in, per meet. Failure to satisfy the Fund Raising requirements will result in a $200.00 assessment per session not worked. Parents are required to complete the entire session they are scheduled to work, even if your swimmer is done for the session.
 
 
Sincerely,

Tony Padvaiskas
