Renee, I never swam either, in fact I have a bit of a fear of water because of
a childhood incident. I was adamant that my kids would not have to experience
that fear. So it began with lessons to make them safe around water and
blossomed into swimming competitively. I've just learned about swimming through
being around it for 11 years. Osmosis if you will....pun intended.
Our goal with the handbook is to make it easy for anyone, no matter their
skill set, to take on any one of these positions. I would assume on some level,
some would have a natural leaning one way to a certain position. The way the VP
position is now written is just needing someone to be organized and methodical.
In fact, all these positions could be accomplished in that manner.
I want to walk away knowing a team will continue to flourish at Collindale.

Well, apparently I’m not all that great at calendar things as I didn’t pick up
on that either. No worries, it’s all good.
Yes, I agree about the additional VP tasks. My concern with any of these VP
things is that I feel so uneducated about some of the swim protocols. I never
swam or participated on a team prior and don’t know what I don’t know ;-)

I made a huge mistake by inviting Parkwood/Buckinghorse to the meet on July
11th. Westfield is hosting us – rather than it being our meet. I just sent
them off an apology..
Renee, I have been thinking. Since the VP position has not been very well
defined as far as tasks, AND since I seem to really mess up scheduling year
after year, AND since you have a great handle on the calendar, how about the VP
tasks include scheduling? I think scheduling, maintaining the master calendar
and the handbooks would be great tasks for the VP position, in addition to
fulfilling president tasks when the president is unavailable…
Thoughts!
Man, I feel stupid right now!!
