Swim Team Summer Week #6
Hello Swim Team Families!
What a fantastic end to our regular season last Thursday/Friday with B-Champs, Pool Party, Sleepover, Pancake Breakfast, and final practice! Thanks to everyone who volunteered and helped out, that was an epic 20 hours of swim team fun.
For many of us, things will be a little quiet the next couple of weeks as the postseason unwinds, and then we will all come together again for our big Swim Team Party & Awards night on Friday August 8!

Coaches Gift. As the season concludes, we invite you to contribute to a thank you gift for our amazing coaching team. Coaching at the Arb is so much more than a summer job, and this is a wonderful way to show your appreciation if the coaches have positively impacted your child this summer. Contributing is completely optional. You can find an envelope in the office (aka snack shack) or contribute via Venmo or Zelle (@kirsty-grainger / 206-931-7537). All collected funds will be divided among the coaches and presented at the team party. We will also have cards available for the kids to sign at the party.
Friday Aug 8 Swim Team Party & Awards Night. We will recognize our swimmers, bid farewell to our graduating seniors, hand out a few awards, carry out a couple more chaotic Arbor traditions (see below), and celebrate the swim season! All swim team/starter swim families are welcome. Let us know if you’re attending: RSVP
We will be serving up burgers and dogs (there will be vegetarian options, please email if you have any dietary concerns) with potluck side dishes/dessert. After dinner, we’ll have a short recognition program, and then party til bedtime! This is a rough timeline:
5:00 pm: Arrive
5:30 pm: Serve Dinner
6:00 pm: Recognition & Awards Program (while people are eating)
6:something -9:00 pm: Party!!
Here’s what to bring: 1. a potluck side or dessert to share, 2. swim stuff, it’s a pool party, 3. a white shirt… (any white shirt is fine, it will wash out)
Photo Slideshow. Do you have photos from the season? Share some with us so we can feature them in our annual slideshow! Share Photos for 2025 Slideshow. Or you can email them to this address and I’ll upload them for you.
Feedback Survey. Finally- we’d love to hear about how the season went for you, so we can continue to improve our program. Will you please take our short Feedback Survey? If you are swimming postseason and want to wait, that’s fine- we will leave it open until summer is over, and remind everyone a few more times.
Wishing good luck and fast swims to our postseason championships swimmers!
