Cherry Knolls Swim Team

Good morning Neptunes!!

First off, we wanted to congratulate everyone on our win against Homestead Farm II! While our swimmers showed a lot of strength in the water, we are also incredibly proud of their team spirit and sportsmanship. Thank you to all of the amazing parent volunteers who helped the meet run so smoothly despite all of the event combinations–we appreciate you so much!

This season has already started off with a bang with four records (1 relay, 3 individual) broken in the first meet alone. Congratulations to Henry Sundberg, Milo Hilst, Charlie Moskoff, Lincoln Lindquist, and Charlie Sundberg on this amazing accomplishment! We are so proud of all your hard work!

Many of our Neptunes also made the “Top 25” list in their events this weekend. Our RMSL league is publishing the “Top 25” swimmers in every event weekly. Keep up the hard work and awesome swims!! Ribbons (12 & unders only) are in Family Folders.

Looking forward to the rest of this week, we are still closely monitoring the weather conditions in the morning. As per the Parent Reps’ most recent email, we will be in touch regarding practice cancellations (via email) by 6:30am, if they’re necessary.

On a sunnier note, we have our Take-Out Tuesday restaurant night this evening at Chipotle (Dry Creek and University) from 4-8pm. If you would prefer to order online, please use code “K7GVDXB” on the app. The coaches will be there, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone!

This Saturday (6/7), we have our first home meet of the season against the Heritage Green Gators. Just a reminder, entries are due by 10pm TONIGHT! We highly encourage every swimmer to get a good warm up before the meet starts, so please arrive before 6:45am on Saturday morning. Parents–please make sure to help your swimmers get to heating on time so that Saturday will run smoothly. We are always so grateful for your help on this!

Each week, the coaching staff gets together and picks four 10-and-unders and four 11-and-ups from the previous week who exemplify what it means to be a Neptune. Congratulations to the following swimmers for all of their hard work, sportsmanship, and team spirit:

10-and-unders: June Smeester, Jonah Steller, Jay Blankenship, and McKenna Lee

11-and-up: Ben Cote, Leah Stafford, Avery Burch, and Theo Andrews

Good Morning Neptunes! Congratulations to everyone on our first home meet win against the Heritage Greens Gators! We are so proud of our swimmers for all of the hard work, sportsmanship, and team spirit they showed this weekend. Thanks to all of our parent volunteers for helping the meet run so effectively; we couldn’t do it without you! Thankfully, the weather is looking much better this week! Expect a full week of practices according to the typical schedule. This is especially great news for Swim-A-Lap on Wednesday morning, which is our biggest fundraising event of the year! Make sure to get those pledges in and see below for the complete timeline of the morning. The coaches would also love it if you joined us for our second Take-Out Tuesday at the Southglenn Noodles & Co TONIGHT from 4-8pm! Let the cashier know you’re with the Neptunes and use the code “GIVING25” when making an online order. Hope to see everyone there! In other fundraising news, our annual Meatball Sub Family Night Dinner is next Thursday (6/19). We would love to get a full group of 13-18s to volunteer, so please encourage swimmers to sign up if they're free to help out! Our second (and final) home meet is this weekend (6/14) against Bow Mar South! Just a reminder, all entries are due TONIGHT AT 10PM! Please arrive before 6:45am for warm-ups. This is going to be another close one, so we encourage parents to avoid signing kids up for races that they may disqualify in. Please reach out to your child’s coach if you have any questions as to whether or not their strokes are legal. The head coaches will also be monitoring the entries and will check in if we are unsure. Also, the heating process ran so smoothly this weekend–let’s keep up all of the good work with helping kids get to their races. On a similar note, please inform the coaches of all scratches as soon as possible. We appreciate all of your help on this! Looking ahead to the finale of the season, we encourage families to start thinking about whether your swimmer(s) will be participating in prelims this year. This week is always a blast, so we would love to have everyone join us in this next level of competition! Each week, the coaching staff gets together and picks four 10-and-unders and four 11-and-ups from the previous week who exemplify what it means to be a Neptune.
