Swim Team Registration Reminder

Sat, 19 May 2012 09:08:16 GMT

This is a reminder that Swim Team “Registration” will be held this Sunday, May 20^th from 2-4 at the Langley Club pavilion. Members of the swim committee will be available to answer your questions about the team, volunteering and anything else. Sport Fair will be there with sample team suits, which you will be able to try on and order. We will also have new apparel available for purchase. We plan to have pictures of the new apparel on the swim team website (langleywildthings.org) later today.

If you register by 2pm today, you can pick up your free team t-shirt on Sunday.

Please note that registration is completely online this year (including payment) so we will not be accepting paper registrations or checks on Sunday. Follow this link for more information on registration: http://langleywildthings.org/NewsShow.jsp?&id=175067&team=recnvsllcst

If you have already registered, please take a moment to verify your email address and upload a picture of your swimmers. Follow this link for more information: http://langleywildthings.org/recnvsllcst/__doc__/173737_2_How%20to%20Verify%20Email%20and%20Upload%20Swimmer%20Picture.pdf

Finally, Coach Mason and the other coaches will be at the Langley Club pavilion Saturday, May 26^th at 1pm. Mason is excited to meet our swimmers and parents prior to the first practice. You will also be able to pick up your free team t-shirt if you have not already.

For any questions, please contact Lance Schone at lance.schone@gmail.com

Swim Team Volunteer Sign-up Reminder

Fri, 18 May 2012 23:34:38 GMT

This is a reminder that sign-ups for swim team volunteer slots open on langleywildthings.org tomorrow, May 19th at 9am. To volunteer for a job, click the Job Signup button found next to an Event or Team function.

Before signing up for your volunteer slots – which will be filled first come, first served – please take the time to review the updated Parent Volunteer Requirements (below). Here are two key points:

· Every family has mandatory job requirements and must sign-up for their required number of slots before children may swim in the first meet.

· MOST of your meet job requirements should be as a timer or official (vs. snack bar/food pickup) to ensure that the most critical job slots are filled first and the burden of these more time intensive jobs are shared equally among all families.

We hope that the updated volunteer system -- with an emphasis on fair, balanced expectations and 100% pre-season volunteer sign-ups -- will help ensure that Wildthings meets and social events run even more smoothly. Thank you in advance for your support!

If you have questions about swim team volunteer requirements, please contact Kathleen Mullery (skmullery@verizon.net) or Genie Strong (geniestrong@verizon.net)

For more detailed information, please refer to the Volunteer Requirements found on the Swim Team site: http://www.teamunify.com/recnvsllcst/__doc__/173260_2_Volunteer%20Requirements%20&%20Job%20Descriptions.pdf

2012 Langley Club Swim Team Information

Sun, 13 May 2012 01:16:53 GMT

We are so excited to get the summer swim season under way. This email might teeter on the brink of information overload, but we wanted to pass along all of the pertinent information so that everyone can have an amazing summer, right from the very start.

As many of you know, we will be welcoming Mason Walsh as our Head Swim Coach. Mason grew up swimming and coaching in the NVSL and swam at VA Tech. Chris Paul, Sam Spears and Will Brumas will be our Assistant Coaches. In addition, we are excited to have many returning Junior Coaches.

We have updated the swim team website and plan to use it as our primary communication source this summer. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the site, as you will be referring back to it quite a bit this summer.

Online registration for Swim Team and Junior Swim Team is now open. The link below will direct you to our updated swim team website. (I have also attached a document to help guide you through the registration process.)

www.langleywildthings.org

New this year, we will only be accepting credit card payments. The cost is $175/per swimmer for Junior Swim Team and $200/ per swimmer for the Swim Team. There are discounts for 3 or more swimmers, and the website will automatically calculate those discounts.

Two very important steps in the registration process:

1. Update your email address and verify it through the website. (Otherwise you may not get the many team emails!)

2. Please upload a picture of your swimmer(s) to the site. The site is 100% secure and this will help the coaches as they familiarize themselves with all the swimmers!

If you have any questions with the registration process, please contact me at lance.schone@gmail.com. Alternatively, you may attend our registration session at The Langley Club on May 20^th from 2 to 4pm.

There are new team suits this year. Sport Fair is our vendor once again. The costs (including tax) are:

Male Jammer all sizes $44.10

Female all sizes $59.85

Sport Fair will be at The Langley Club on May 20^th for suit sizing and orders. If you cannot attend, you may visit Sport Fair in Arlington at any time.

In addition, we will be offering Wildthing shorts, sunglasses, sweatshirts and caps for sale. Stay tuned for more information on apparel. If you have questions regarding apparel, please contact Heather Bensten Schone.

As always, the commitment of parent volunteers is critical to the success of the Wildthings program. Other than the coaches, we are a completely volunteer-run organization, therefore there is a volunteer requirement for each swim family. Whether you are a returning swim family or new to the Wildthings, please review the updated Parent Volunteer Requirements, which outlines the volunteer requirements per family, the new volunteer deposit, the available volunteer positions and the sign-up process. We hope that the updated volunteer system -- with an emphasis on fair, balanced expectations and 100% pre-season volunteer sign-ups -- will help ensure that Wildthings meets and social events run even more smoothly. Thank you in advance for your support! Volunteer slots will open on langleywildthings.org on May 19^th at 9am. If you have questions about swim team volunteer opportunities, please contact Kathleen Mullery or Genie Strong.

Our practice schedule is very similar to years past. For your reference, here is the link to the 2012 Practice Schedule.

The Swim Committee has updated the Swim Team Handbook to include information on the latest NVSL rule changes and parent Volunteer requirements. This is a great reference for new and old swim families and we encourage you to refer to it throughout the season.

We are all looking forward to a fun summer swim season. If you have questions, please feel free to contact anyone on the Swim Committee with questions.

A Message for All Langley Club families

Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:33:35 GMT

Dear Club Members,

Over the past few weeks, some members have expressed concern over conditions at the club. In general, the grounds are untidy; there is a lot of food, trash and debris on the grass near the tables; and the bathrooms are not well-maintained. We have addressed these issues with the pool management staff and expect conditions to improve immediately.

However, please remember that we are a small member supported and operated club. All families have a responsibility to help keep the club clean, tidy and safe. Members are expected to clean-up after their families and guests. Please consider the following when you visit the club:

-Clean up trash, food and other debris on club grounds;

-Supervise young children, particularly in the bathrooms;

-Replace equipment/furniture after use; and

-Notify pool staff or a board member when you notice an area that needs attention.

If you have any questions, or would like to discuss any other operations or maintenance issues, please contact Jan Brown (jandavidbrown@hotmail.com); Tom Bascom (tom@linkspace.net) or Dean Walter (dean.walter@dhs.gov).

Thanks for your consideration and assistance.

Regards,

The Langley Club Board

Club Website FAQs

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:11:59 GMT

Hello Club Members,

We hope you are enjoying the summer! As the season winds down, we wanted to take a minute to highlight some of the features and functionality of the club’s new web site:

Website Layout: Our website is based on an off-the-shelf solution that was developed by another swim club in the Atlanta area and is available for other clubs to personalize with their own content . This solution allows us to borrow functionality that was developed with a swim and tennis club in mind, but we do need to work within a pre-set structure and navigation scheme.
To get around the website, there is a navigation bar in the upper right hand corner, and on the bottom of the home page is a bulletin board which is automatically updated for site activity and upcoming events. “Quicklinks” at the bottom right of the home page offers shortcuts to commonly used pages (like our File Library which includes regulations, bylaws, and registration forms).

Members-Only Section of Website: Part of our website is password protected, allowing us to share information with each other in a secure, private forum. Logging in for the first time is as easy as 1-2-3:

Go to our website http://langleyclub.org/Default.aspx
In the upper right hand corner, click the “Sign On” button (You do NOT need to “Create an Account” – basic profiles were set up for each Club Family using our Club Directory)
Click on “Forgot Your Password” then enter the email address that you provided for the Club Directory

A new password will be emailed to you, which you can then change the next time you log on to the website. Included in the Members-Only section of our website:

Ability to RSVP for Club activities and social events. You may want to sign up now for the Labor Day Pot Luck http://langleyclub.org/Event.aspx?id=2467
Access to our Club’s Member Directory http://langleyclub.org/user/Directory.aspx
Discussion board to share ideas/concerns related to pool operations, swim team, social events, or other club issues http://langleyclub.org/user/Boards.aspx
Club Photo Gallery for posting/browsing photos http://langleyclub.org/user/Albums.aspx

Updating Your Member Profile: Please check your member profile to be sure that your family information and communications preferences are accurate and up-to-date! To view your profile:

Log in using your email address and password (see above if you aren’t sure how to do this) http://www.langleyclub.org/SignOn.aspx?returnUrl=~%2fDefault.aspx
Go to the Directory subtab of Members menu http://langleyclub.org/user/Directory.aspx
At the bottom of the page, click on “Please ensure your profile is complete and accurate”

Once you have your Member Profile up, check for the following:

If you would like to receive Club announcements (e.g., about social events, weather-related pool closings) at more than one email address or to your cell phone as a text message, add the information in “Additional Email Addresses and Text Messages”
Change how your name appears in the online directory under “Displayed name”
Include the ages of your children in the directory under “Phone numbers and family information”. You will need to follow the tip on including date of birth so that your child’s age automatically updates as they age.
Decide what types of email communications you would like to receive (e.g., tennis, swim, social) by checking (or unchecking) the appropriate boxes in “Email List Subscriptions”

We hope that you are enjoying the new web site! If you have any questions, suggestions or just need help getting used to the site, you can submit them anonymously using the Orange Feedback button, or contact either of the board members who serve as website administrators:

Jennifer Anthony jennifer_l_anthony@yahoo.com 703-848-2614
Annette Kielkopf kielkopf5@verizon.net 703.821.2976

Thank you,

Jennifer and Annette

We'd love your photos!
