The Friends of South Windsor Swimming Fund
 

The Friends of South Windsor Swimming is a community group established to support swimming at South Windsor High School.  Our objective is to raise funds to cover the cost of varsity boys and girls swim teams at South Windsor High School for three years beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. These teams will enable approximately 60 students in grades 9 through 12 to benefit from participating in interscholastic swimming and diving.

For nearly 20 years, South Windsor High School swimmers have been restricted to swimming at other high schools as a "team of one" and SWHS was one of only two towns in its 21 town high school “District Reference Group” that did not provide varsity swimming & diving as part of its athletic program.   On February 9, 2010, the Board of Education voted to establish Boys & Girls Varsity Swimming and Diving teams at SWHS with the stipulation that it be privately funded for the first 3 years.  

We are reaching out to you, the South Windsor community, for help.  Please donate to the Friends of South Windsor Swimming.  With your support we can “fill the pool.”  Thank you for your support!

Parking at the Wapping Fair
Volunteers Needed on
September 11 & 12!

We are working with the Jaycees to have our swimmers & parents collect donations for parking at the Wapping Fair on Thursday through Sunday of the Fair which should be the busiest days.  We will need a lot of volunteers for this event (older students and adults--need to be safe around the traffic).

The police Explorers will be directing/parking the cars so we only have to collect donations at the two parking lots.  We get to keep 50% of the proceeds a portion of which will help offset uniform costs so all swimmers should try to help--girls and boys!  Please email back and let me know if you would be willing to work a shift or two that weekend.  More help means shorter shifts!  

As always, let me know if you know other people who would like to be on our email listing or if you have any ideas/suggestions/feedback.
