Good morning GPS Family,

Don't forget, we have our awards picnic next Wednesday, 7/22.

EVERYONE is invited, regardless of training group, age, qualifying meets, or even if you missed the previous two weeks for vacation. Let's all join in one final time for the 2026 season.

Sign-up for food, drinks, & utensils - Awards Picnic Sign-Up Genius

• Date: Wednesday, 7/22
• Time: 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
• Location: Walter's Park Pool

PJSL Qualifiers - Practice this week (7/20 - 7/24) is only open to those attending championships, regular practice times. This gives us the chance to focus on those swimmers to better prep them for the league champ meet. 

• Qualifiers list is attached.
• 52 swimmers qualified, only 18 signed up so far.
• Entry Deadline: Sunday, 7/19, 5:00 pm
• Leave a note for you individual events order of priority. In this way, we know which individual event to drop if your swimmer is placed in two relays.

Awards Picnic - ALL - Besides a last time this season to hangout with the team and see friends:

1. We hold fun relay races in the pool that night.
2. Each swimmer gets an "Athlete Report Card"
3. Each swimmer gets a "Certificate of Participation"
4. 20 different swimmers will be awarded specialized season trophies & plaques
5. East delicious food. :)

Later this week I'll send an email with Fall/Winter swimming options too.

Hope to see there,

Coach Drake
