This season, the Torpedo is going to need a lot of support from parents. We have had this in the past, and we want to continue and get EVEN MORE of you involved!
There are several ways you can help the team out over the course of the season, and here are a few examples:
1. Carpool! Save money and help the Torpedo win away meets! By offering to carpool with other swimmers and their families, Torpedo swimmers can save money and give support to their teammates at meets we swim in Forest City, Marion, Granite Falls, and Morganton. If a swimmer's parents are unable to get them to a meet, help out by offering a ride! We don't want to miss opportunities in the pool when transportation can be provided.
2. TIME! Get the best seat in the house (and sometimes coolest depending on how big splashes may be off the block!) while helping out with one of the most essential jobs at a meet! If you can push a button and write down numbers, timing is for you!
3. Stroke and Turn! You don't have to know anything about swimming for this job; we teach you all you need to know! Join Coach Andersen and other parents from around the league at the Valdese Rec on June 16th for training on how to be a stroke and turn official! Just in case you decide later in the season, there is a second training on July 14! Bring friends to either one because the more parents we have involved, the easier it will be for everyone to run the meets!
