Good evening swim team families,

We will be doing some team spirit activities after practice on Tuesday, June 14.

SPIRIT SHAKERS

All swimmers should bring an empty 6-12 oz (dry) water or soda bottle to make spirit shakers (bring two if you have them in case someone forgets.) These will be kept at the pool and pulled out at meets, mainly relays, for the swimmers to cheer with.

TIE DYE

We will have supplies to make tie-dye t-shirts. Swimmers should bring a 100% cotton white t-shirt in a gallon ziploc bag with their name on the shirt AND the bag. (We will have a sharpie to label if needed but it would be easier if they come already labeled). Shirts should be washed prior to bringing. The shirts will soak in a soda ash solution while the swimmers practice. When they are finished practice they can rubberband the shirts and dye them and take them home in their ziploc bag so the dye can soak. We should be able to pull out the dyes again on the 20th or 21st if this doesn’t give you enough time to purchase shirts by the 14th. Please only plan to do one article of clothing until we see how much dye we have leftover.

We are looking for some additional parent volunteers to help prepare the dye and assist throughout the practice (wringing out the shirts after pulling from soda ash, helping kids rubberband, helping with the shakers, etc.) Please text Jill Skiles if you can help 717-989-4041.

Thank you!

Jill
