The fourth and final event is the annual WAVE pool party, which will be

Sunday, June 15 at the La Porte WAVE pool. The pool is located in La Porte's

Little Cedar Bayou Park at 600 Little Cedar Bayou Drive. It's pretty easy to

get to. Just go up Hwy. 146 toward La Porte and follow the signs. Little

Cedar Bayou Drive intersects the feeder road. If you go too far, just go up

to Fairmont and take a right. Then make your first right. it will bring you

right back to Little Cedar Bayou.

For those who have never been to the WAVE pool, it is a ton o' fun.

Basically, it is a big pool that they have rigged to make some pretty

sizable waves. You sit in a tube and bob around and try to hang on. If you

desire, you can also go tubeless and body surf.

See the attachments below for the meet results and top times

Come and pick up the master pieces tonight Friday the 6th!!

Hello Fellow Fins,I just wanted to remind everyone about the big Timbercove meet coming up tomorrow. This is one of the Fin's true rivalry’s as the kids go to school with each other so make sure to be well rested and hydrated for the meet!! A Volunteer check in station will be set up under the pavilion where the computer input is so when you arrive report to the volunteer table for your assignments and pick up your child’s swim events sticker at the same time. Every family needs to check in at the station with the volunteer coordinators Nicole and Michael.  

There have been some questions about who needs to volunteer?  The answer is every family has committed to 5 shifts (usually one half session per meet) to run the meet.  No family should have to work the entire meet or more than 5 shifts if everyone honors their commitment.  For home meets we need over 60 volunteers to sign the kids in, line them up, sort the swimmers in heats, time the swimmers, run the cards, enter the data, score the meet, etc.  So please support your team, kids and fellow parents by fulfilling your commitment.  I have included the volunteer contract below for your review.

 Tracie FordFins Co-President  

Parent Volunteer Contract CLEAR LAKE FOREST FINS 2008 

Volunteers keep our team afloat.  The Clear Lake Forest Swim team is a volunteer organization and to successfully run a swim meet, parent participation is required.  Each Family is required to work at least 5 shifts during the season meets. There are over 60 jobs that need to be filled for each home meet. Some positions require training but most do not.  Signing up and fulfilling your volunteer obligation is essential for the continued viability of the FINS.

I/We _______________________________________acknowledging that the Clear Lake Forest Fins swim team is an organization relying heavily on volunteers, agree to work my/our assigned shifts or personally make arrangements for another adult to work them.
