Esteemed parents, athletes,
and coaches:
4 Weeks down already! I
can't believe it, 2 short
weeks until our first meet.
Everyone is looking great,
getting stronger, and
staying healthy which puts
us right on schedule. I am
continually encouraged with
the fantastic parent
support. Honestly, what
other sport can you engage
with your kids during
practice. And race them,...
and wish you were faster
then them in some cases. I
love it, thank you all!
All right, week 5 is upon us
and it is really heating up
out there. Don't forget to
hydrate and eat during the
day. Some have been
complaining about cramping
and dizziness. If you
hydrate and eat well you
will be stronger in the
heat. This week we will be
turning up the workout heat
as well. It's time to start
another build phase of
training that will take us
through the next 3 weeks. Do
your best to make it to
every Tuesday and Thursday
practice at a minimum as
these will give you the
biggest improvements.
I've heard from a lot of you
about desiring a beach run
day on September 3rd. That
Saturday being labor day
weekend I imagine many will
be travelling and not at
practice. So I'll take an
informal poll at Mondays
practice and we'll confirm
what we'll do.
Special thanks to coach
David for putting together
the time trial at Saturdays
practice. I am looking
forward to seeing the times
and how everyone did.
That's it for now, It's
going to be another fun week
at practice!
My best to you and your
family,
Coach Jeremy |

Lap-a-thon Fund
Raiser
Our Lap-a-thon Fund
Raiser will be held on
September 12 at Saugus
High School. We have
setup a website that for
this,
click here to
register for the
Lap-a-thon. All athletes
need to participate in
this event. Be sure to
click the "Participant
Registration" link to
register for the event,
There are several
options once that page
loads up. You may choose
to pay $40.00 on the
spot, or register to
raise the $40.00 in
order to get the
lap-a-thon tee shirts,
the goal that are set in
the system are simply
suggestions that you try
and raise that amount
for the club. (We need
the help to keep this
fine program going).
The kids will run laps
at Saugus High School
for 1 hours, they will
use the website to set
their fund raising goals
and contact potential
sponsors (grandparents,
aunts uncles, family
friends and neighbors.)
They can also create
their own fund raising
page to drive people.
This is a new system and
we'd like your feedback
on ease of use.
All athletes who raise
$40.00 by the deadline
will get a special
2011 Lap-a-thon
Tee-Shirt. And the
athlete who raises the
most funds turned in by
the deadline will get a
grand prize. So far we
have been giving 4 Park
Hopper Tickets to
Disneyland/California
Adventure Theme Parks.
The gate price is
$105.00 for adults and
$99.00 for children
under age 3-9.
