As of Monday, April 6, we have only 22% of all SwimMAC swimmers participating at any level in our Swim-a-Thon. To make this year's fundraiser a success and to keep our dues manageable for next year, we need a 100% participation. We are all in this as a team. Let's show our swimmers, our children, our team that we stand behind them and support them.
Check out http://www.active.com/donate/SwimMACCarolina to see our totals and which swimmer and practice group are at the top of our leader board.
AMY MONROE: ROCK STAR, SWIM-A-THON HERO INDEED!!!!!
Nova, Nova, Nova.....number 1! The Latin Nova team was the first training group to raise $2,000.00. When a training group raises $2,000.00 the coach of that group has to dress up like a Rock Star and perform. Well Friday night Amy Monroe lit up the viewing room with a riveting performance of Beyonce singing a tribute to Tina Turner. The song was Proud Mary. Words do not begin to describe Amy's performance starting from costuming, highlighted by super dance moves. Check out the video. See the Nova Groups Message.
OK swimmers and parents, wouldn't it be fun to see Alan Pfau as Greg Daughtry? Who would Coach Carrie, Coach Stephanie, Coach Laura Beth, Coach Ashley, Coach Chris, Coach Kirsten, and Coach Kathy be? Russ Kasl.....would he be Jean Kruppa......afterall Coach Russ is a drummer yet a metal-head.....Coach Larry Lee....who would he be.....Coach Patty, where would that one go? David Marsh.....that is a good one....staff it's time to come up with a double dog dare for David! The real question is, who will be the next Rock Star? Swimmers and parents.....go for it!!!!!!!
