The Wheaton Swim Club is pleased to announce that we have been asked by Illinois Swimming to help host the 2010 Age Group State Championship swim meet!  This is a great honor and the coaching staff is looking forward to showcasing our club. 
However, this year will be a little different in that we will be CO-HOSTING the meet with Patriot Aquatic Club at Stevenson High School.  This means a shared work load and twice as many volunteers to help put on a great meet for the swimmers of Illinois!  This is the first time in Illinois history that two teams have teamed up to co-host a championship meet.  However, it is NOT the first time that PAC and WHTN have worked together to host meets.  We are extremely excited to combine the talent pools of two great teams, along with the finest facility in the state to run a great meet!
Since this will be a co-hosted meet, most of the administrative work will fall on the coaching staff.  However, we will still need a contribution or time commitment from EACH family on the team in order to run a great meet.  Our team will be responsible for providing timers, concessions workers, admissions volunteers, and hospitality workers throughout the meet.  We will also be looking for donations for concessions and hospitality.  Please consider at this time how you can help! If you have a special connection (local restaurant, etc) that you think could be helpful, please contact us!

AGE GROUP STATE DETAILS

• Dates: July 30-Aug 1
• Location: Stevenson High School, Lincolnshire, IL
• Meet & T-shirt Theme: Email us suggestions! 
• National Team.  Each swimmer on the National Team will be asked to work 3 sessions of the meet.  This will cover most of the timing slots.  It is also a great way to earn National honors / service hours.  It is also a great way to give back to the team, and have fun with friends. (Plus you get a free t-shirt!)  A service letter will be given to each student after the meet.
  

Thanks in advance to everyone for their help.  The Wheaton Swim Club has a reputation for hosting the BEST RUN meets in the state, and we know that we cannot do it without you!

You will all be receiving an Age Group State newsletter shortly, which will have great detail about the meet. In the mean time, feel free to contact us with any questions!

Sincerely,

The Wheaton Swim Club Coaching Staff
