[GBM ENews List] Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays team GBM!!!

A brief note of season's greetings and thanks to all who have helped make this another great year for our team, concluding last weekend with a very successful BU meet.

I would like to echo Coach Crystie's thanks to all the folks who made this possible:

• Boston University Fit Rec Center Staff for ALL that they do

• Doug Sayles, NE-LMSC registrar

• Our officials - led by Bob and Priscilla! 

• Simmons Swim & Crew for providing back up timing on Saturday & Sunday

• Joe Fraier from Swimwear in Motion for supporting your swim supply needs

• Great Bay Masters - Bart & Jacqui & volunteers for the concession stand

• NELMSC & NEM for all their support

This list of course omits a most important person, our team hero Coach Crystie herself, to whom we owe special thanks for the many key roles that she plays for our team: coach, meet director and promoter, recruiter. She ably manages and coaches the programs at Dover and Portsmouth, directs three excellent meets each year at Exeter, JT and BU, and plays a wider role in our LMSC as Coaches Chair supporting masters coach development around the region. Behind the scenes she has developed strong relationships with key partners, spending considerable time in planning, preparation and problem solving to ensure that our workouts are varied, challenging and enjoyable and our meets are professional, well organized and a great experience for swimmers. On behalf of all of us I want to thank her for sterling endeavors and to congratulate her on another very successful year. Under her leadership our team is prospering.

I would also like to heartily thank the very many folks who have been generous with their time and efforts supporting the team throughout the year, notably our Board and our many volunteers.

I very much appreciated spending time with many of you on deck at BU last weekend enjoying the spirit and camaraderie of our team. Congratulations on great swimming! There will be a fuller meet report in due course.

Please keep our friend and and team mate Darwin and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Warmest good wishes

Guy

[GBM ENews List] BU meet - volunteers welcome

Hi Team

I hope your swimming is going well and that everyone entered for BU is raring to go and ready for relays!

As many of you know, this meet is hosted and managed by GBM under Crystie's able meet direction. Bart and Jacqui have again graciously volunteered to manage the food concession at the meet.  These additional elements are important to the overall financial success of the meet, which in turn supports our team throughout the year.  We would be delighted for any VOLUNTEERS from the team, friends and family, to help out with the concessions throughout the weekend.  If you are able to help at any time through the weekend, please let Bart and Jacqui know or tell the folks who are working the food and meet T-shirt concession.  I really don't understand why, but some GBM partners attending our meets actually find working the concession more interesting than watching the swimming! ;)

Thanks for your support.

Go GBM!!

[GBM ENews List] Fwd: BU Meet

Hi team GBM

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you on deck this weekend at BU.

As many of you know, our friend and team-mate Darwin will not be with us this weekend. As a gesture of support and solidarity for Darwin we would like to invite you to join us wearing purple ribbons (a symbol of awareness and support for pancreatic cancer sufferers as well as for other causes). Crystie and Kevin have ribbons for anyone on the team who would like wear one. I know that this message sets a somber tone, but I also know that Darwin will want us to enjoy our time at the meet and to celebrate and enjoy the camaraderie of our team as he always has in his irrepressible, big-hearted style.

Guy

(PS apologies if you are getting this for the second time, I used the incorrect group email list before so I am resending to be sure it circulates to the team)

[GBM ENews List] Swimming Saves Lives

Hi Team

I would like to draw everyone's attention to the following from the latest NE masters swimming email:

1. USMS Adult Learn to Swim Certification -

 

I have been involved with USMS in the creation of the NEW ALTS certification program, which we plan to roll out in January 2015. As a certified ALTS Instructor, you will have the training and backing of USMS to run your own ALTS program, teach adult swim lessons, and train volunteers for the April Is Adult Learn To Swim Month initiative.

 

There will be two beta tests for the class, the first of which will take place in New England on January 17th at Bard College at Simon's Rock in Great Barrington, Mass. The course will cost the general public $295. This price has been discounted to $100 for NE-LMSC members who participate in the first beta-test class. For those who require more financial assistance, your NE-LMSC Board of Directors has authorized an additional $50 subsidy if needed.

 

You can help us make this offering the best it can be by taking the course and providing thoughtful feedback after the class is done. If you are interested, please see the USMS website for more information and write to me at nechair@usms.org if you need the additional $50 subsidy.

This is related to the USMS "Swimming Saves Lives" Initiative. http://www.usms.org/giving/?utm_campaign=top_nav&utm_medium=about_usms 

 

I believe Coach Crystie plans to attend.  I would encourage others who have an interest to take a look.  Please let me know if you would like more information on this program

[GBM ENews List] USMS Registration & Fall Mini Meets

Hello GBM'ers!  

Below is a quick summary of your current renewal/registration options for US Masters Swimming.  We highly suggest that you register for 2 reasons - first; it opens the opportunities to participate in USMS sanctioned swim meets (it's required to participate) and two; it provides a lot of resources including online technique and training tips, forums, and a really fantastic magazine. 

As of September 1, you have two registration options available online:

1. An end-of-year 2014 membership, which is discounted from the full-year 2014 price. It expires on December 31, 2014.
2. A year-plus membership, which is a 2014 membership PLUS a prepaid 2015 membership (available only online). For this option, the member makes LMSC and club selection and receives a 2014 card immediately. Then, in November, the member will be asked to confirm LMSC and club choice for 2015. When that's complete, a 2015 membership card is issued, and that one will expire on December 31, 2015.  Note that the year-plus membership includes an additional $10 discount off the USMS portion of the 2014 membership fee. 

To register go to http://www.usms.org/reg/ 

Upcoming Swim Meets:

October 18th - Simmons Swim Fest, Boston, MA - entry form attached. 

October 26th - Concord Mini-Meet, Concord, MA - entry form attached. 

I will be attending both of these meets and will look forward to seeing folks there so that we can work on diving, racing and having some fun before the Championship meet in December (save the date for that too: Dec 12-14, info: http://scmchamps.blogspot.com/ )

[GBM ENews List] Bob Fernald Conquers the English Channel

Huge Congratulations to team mate Bob Fernald who today swam the the English Channel. Setting out shortly before 5am UK time this morning, Bob completed the swim in a fast 10 hours and 50 minutes.  Bob's achievement is all the more remarkable because in April he broke his ankle in a nasty domestic accident, which kept him out of the water for quite a while, and he is still on crutches.  Kudos on your fantastic effort Bob!!
