Daleview Deep Water Aerobics

NEWS SPLASH! -- WATER AEROBICS IS HERE!

So here is the SPLASH:

Water Aerobics will be in the diving well - Deep Water!
No more than 12 athletes in each session during the week.
The coach is Mindy Sippel.  She was our coach last season.
Float belts and bar bell equipment will be provided. Bring your own if you can.
All sessions start on Memorial Day weekend – whoohoo!

Session 1: Sunday Morning, 8:30 - 9:30am

Session 2: Tuesday Evening, 8 - 9pm, then 9 - 10pm
When school is still in session, start at 8pm. After school lets out, start at 9pm. Depending on the August crowd, time could move back to 8pm.

Session 3: Thursday Evening, 8 - 9pm
Takes place in the diving well when school's out.

FEES: It is so complicated!

There are 14 weeks for the season! I need commitments from all athletes that they are thinking of a particular session and will pay for the 14 week season. The fees cover coaches and the small amount of expenses. Non-Members are paying a guest fee charge.

The Session Fee for the Daleview Member: 14 weeks x $3.50 totals $49.00
Daleview Member: 2 session/week cost (5% discount): $93.00 (cheaper than swim team, no food involved)

The Session Fee for the Non-Daleview Member: 14 weeks x $9.50 totals $133.00
Non-Daleview Member: 2 session/week cost (5% discount): $253.00

Coach says that 2 workouts a week is better for the mind and body.

Sorry --- No Drop-ins. But, card transfers are allowed!

So here is the Daleview Beauty!
A swimmer will be purchasing a card with 14 squares for every session they buy. The coach will be punching the cards at each practice. We all know that the summer demands some flexibility ---- if you miss a week, you can make it up at another session. For the athletes who have counted the Sundays, there are actually 15. Everyone is going to miss one session, either Sunday or Tuesday.

Sign-up is on a first-in basis.
Please sign-up for the sessions as soon as possible. We need 10 athletes at each session to make this work. We will cap the roster at 12 swimmes. If you know someone from outside Daleview who wants to join the group, please have them contact me. Daleview Members get priority until May 21, 2012.

Who wants to Swim Inside?
Become a Master of Daleview!

Masters Swim Team returns for 2012?
OK, a Masters Program --- A team of adults that come together multiple times a week during the Daleview season and take instruction from a Coach --- Cool huh!  
It was a wonderful time last season.  Lets do it again.
Coaches this Year is William Cove and Ben Hukill. Megan Healy will sub when needed

So here are the specs:

Average 12 swimmers in each session during the week, 15 at the most.

Session I:  Sunday Morning, 8am – 9am
We are looking that this is for the rookies, less competitive type.  Likes to be told what to do but does not like to sweat too much.

Session 2  Sunday Morning, 9am – 10am
A bit more experienced and competitive.  Please remember we are talking Daleview here.  I am sure the slow lane is still the slow lane.  

Session 3:  Tuesday Evening, 8pm – 9pm
This is the complicated one.  When school is still in session, start at 8pm.  After school lets out, start at 9pm. 

Session 4:  Thursday Morning, 6am – 7am
I am told that there is nothing sweeter at Daleview than swimming as the sun comes up.

FEES:  It is so complicated!
There are 14 weeks for the four sessions!  I need commitments from all swimmers that they are thinking of a particular session and will pay for the 14 week season.   The fees cover coaches and the small amount of expenses.  Non-Members pay a guest fee charge.

The Session Fee for the Daleview Member: 14 weeks x $3. totals $42.00
The Session Fee for the Non-Daleview Member: 14 weeks x $9. totals $126.00

So, if you would like to sign up for 2 sessions/week --- double the amount!  If you would like to sign up for 3 sessions/week --- triple the amount!

So here is the Daleview Beauty! A swimmer will be purchasing a card with 14 squares for every session they buy.  The coach will be punching the cards at each practice.  We all know that the summer demands some flexibility ---- if you miss a week, you can make it up at another session.  For the swimmers who have counted the Sundays, there are actually 15. Everyone is going to miss one Sunday.

Sign-up is on a first-in basis. Please sign-up for the sessions as soon as possible.  I suspect they will fill-up quickly.
