Communication
Return to Tigers Swim Team Homepage
With a team as large as this, communication is a challenge. We have several means in place for the exchange of information between parents, swimmers and coaches. Please avoid talking to the coaches during practice; their priority is to your kids at that time.
Bulletin Board
The Swim Team Bulletin Board at the pool is the only 100% up-to-date source of information. Parents and swimmers should check this bulletin board daily. All Line-ups and notices will be posted on the bulletin board.
Web Site
The pool’s website, www.glenwoodpool.org has a variety of information related to the Swim Team and is maintained more frequently during the summer. But, for the MOST current information, you will need to consult the Bulletin Board on a daily basis.
A minimum of one parent from each family must (but all parents/guardians are encouraged to) subscribe to the Swim Team List-Serve (simply send a blank email to glenwoodswim-subscribe@yahoogroups.com). This distribution list allows for quick and easy dissemination of important team information. As a courtesy, please avoid posting messages to the list-serve which are intended to be direct responses to a specific individual and/or non-swim team related matters.
NOTE: As a general rule, email is not an efficient or reliable means of contacting the coaches. The computer in the coaches’ office is not connected to the internet at this time. The easiest way to contact the coaches is through the Coaches’ Mailbox (see below).
Family Folders
Each Swim Team family has a folder in the coaches’ office (inside the door, to the left) where ribbons, notices, and other material will be put. Please check your folder often.
Coaches’ Mailbox
The Coaches’ mailbox is the green metal mailbox mounted on the wall just outside the door to the coaches’ office. Any notes for the coaches can be left in here. It is checked several times daily. This is also the place to leave notes regarding swimmers attendance. If any swimmer is going to be unavailable for any meet, for any reason, the coaches must be notified in writing. When writing the note, please clearly indicate which meets the swimmer will or will not miss. For example: “Billy is gone until Saturday” does not make it clear whether or not Billy will be available to swim in the meet on Saturday.
