Good evening, everyone! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
Monday night is Forest City at Forest City. This is where our championship meet will be held on July 25, so it's great to see that 65 swimmers will be traveling with us. From the Rec., it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get there.
Here's hoping for a great meet tonight in Forest City! Bring water and
snacks, although there will be concessions available. Parents need to
sign up to assist with volunteer assignments like timing. The meet
should run fairly quickly.
Directions to Callison Recreation Center, Forest City: Away meet at Forest City: Warm-ups are at 5:30pm. Take I-40 West to Exit 103. At the end of the exit ramp, turn left. Take HWY 64 to Rutherford County. After passing through Westminster Community, turn left on Hudlow Rd at the traffic light. Follow Hudlow Rd to West Main Street in Forest City. Turn left on West Main Street. Take the first right right (Westview St), and then the first left onto Clay St. The pool is on the right.
Thursday night is our meet away at Granite Falls. A large number of you have already signed up, but in case you haven't, you have until Tuesday evening to do so. If you are out of town, shoot Coach an email to let him know you will be attending.
The season is rapidly coming to a close. We need to make sure everyone gets their two meets in before the championship meet. We have the two meets this week, a home meet with Forest City and the 11&Up Sprint/Distance Meet to go in order to fulfill the requirement.
Also coming up are two weekend events: July 11 will be our second stroke and turn clinic at the Rec. from 10-12am. MORE IMPORTANTLY, we need you all to get your tickets for the Crawdads' Game on July 17. There will be fireworks! $9 a ticket with the majority of the money coming back to us is a great deal and great fun. This money will go to help finish up our fundraising goals from last year. If each SWIMMER were to buy a ticket, we'd have over $600 to that goal. PLEASE HELP US OUT and HAVE A GREAT TIME DOING IT!
Team pictures will be held on Friday, July 24, prior to our Pre-Championship Spaghetti Dinner. Coach has forms to chose picture packages from, so check with him before or after practices. Sportpix out of Shelby will handle our pictures again. They should be returned in time to get to you at the end-of-season Pot Luck and awards night.
See everyone tomorrow! Don't hesitate to email if you have any questions!

Take us out to the Ballgame!
Good evening, Torpedo Family!
Last summer, we were able to raise funds for most of the new lane lines for the pool. We are still working to get our last several lane lines and a new line reel, which is roughly $2,400 total. We are going to work this year to finish the campaign we started last year.
The Hickory Crawdads have partnered with us to help raise money for VTST this summer through ticket pre-sales for a home game on July 17th against the Augusta GreenJackets. The game starts at 7pm at Hickory's L.P. Frans stadium.
Swimmers should be able to begin selling tickets on their own beginning June 8th. Find Coach Andersen to figure out how many tickets you might want to sell ahead of time to family, friends, and acquaintances. Also, we will sell tickets during the home meets on June 23 (vs. Granite Falls), June 30 (vs. Black Mountain and Transylvania), and July 14 (vs. Forest City).
We encourage all of our swimmers, their families, and friends to plan to attend the game, even those participating in the Sprint/Distance Meet the next morning, July 18. Let's make it a great outing!
