SVY Swim Team Web Site Upgrade
As previously mentioned, SVY Swimming will be moving to a new web site. I am really excited to announce that we are now planning to switch over to the new site on Tuesday, January 31st. The new web site provides easy access to team information, swimmer times, upcoming meets and team events.
Here is what to expect
Every family will be given a login to the site, The login will be based on the primary email address listed for each account. You will receive an email with instructions on how to setup your password. Once you have your login, you wil be able to:
- Update the contact information for the account and for each swimmer
- See your swimmer's time history for all meets going back to 2000
- Look up best times for your swimmer
- Download the OnDeck Parent app to your smart phone and access your information and best times from your smart phone
- See information about the team that is only available to members of the team
This is the frist step in the transition. Over the coming months,
we plan to do much more with the new web site including:
- Providing access to your meet fees and escrow account balance
- Signing up for volunteer assignments at our meets
- Online sign-out for swim meets
Please click here for a preview of the new site

!! Somerset Patriots Fundraiser - Save the Dates!!
Yes folks, it's that time of year again where you can help SVY raise some funds by volunteering to work at Patriots Stadium at the food stands. Come help out and fry a finger (chicken finger that is!!) or serve a soda. This is a significant fund raiser for the training trip! All swimmers 14 and over must volunteer for at least one game and if your swimmer plans on going on the training trip at the end of the year then they must volunteer to work at least 2 games. Below are the available dates to volunteer, you can email Allen Zdroik at aszdr@verizon.net with any questions. If not enough volunteers show up for the assigned date SVY will lose part of the profits as the stadium will assign their workers to make up for missing workers.

If you are going to volunteer make sure you show up in the proper "uniform"...black, navy or khaki shorts or long pants, a white collared polo shirt with closed toe shoes (no short shorts, flip flops or sandals). If you come to volunteer and are not wearing the proper clothes SVY will lose a percentage of their profits!!

The Sand Shark Team
If you've ever wondered why we have a "pre-team" here at SVY,
well look no further than Miss Mara Valenzuela.
Click here to see Mara's college swimming news and profile from Bryant University.
A recent SVY Grad, Mara is now off in her 1st year of NCAA Division 1 competition. Her achievements in and out of the pool are countless but none of them would have been possible if she didn't first join the Bridgewater YMCA Pre-Team.
Registration is on going and the session begins January 8, 2012 and runs for 12 weeks
until March 25, 2012. This session also includes participating in the "Miles of Miles" Swim Meet here at the Bridgewater YMCA on Sunday, January 29, 2012, which is hosted by the SVY Swim Team. For more information on how to register, email Barb Adam at badam@ymcasomersetvalley.org, or come on down to the Bridgewater
YMCA to sign up.
Any previous member of the SVY Sandsharks, Hurricanes, or Blue Dolphins are welcome to sign up right away. New swimmer's assessment is conducted by Head Age Group Coach Brian Greene most Sundays at the Bridgewater YMCA. Please call ahead to reserve a spot in the assessment.
We feel that there is a competitive swimmer out there in everyone.
Come on down to the Y and find out more.
Happy Holidays!!!
