Wow – I am sorry to hear that. I will keep my eyes open – but you might want
to see if you can get qualified for positions at the University!

HI Fellow Parent Board Members,
This all looks great! You guys are awesome 😊
I apologize for falling off the map for awhile. It has been quite a journey
for me over the last 8 weeks, trying to get my voice back. I continue to
search for the missing (voice) and now I am on an additional search. I lost my
job last Tuesday, March 18th. My boss terminated my employment, so now I am
looking for a new job. I have been an Admin Assistant for over 20 years, plus
Receptionist and Human Resources experience. Please let me know if you hear of
anything.
I am looking forward to the new Collindale Swim Season and especially working
with all of you!
See you soon.
Karen K.

Hey All -
I won't be forwarding all the communication, bit thought the first one I got
might be fun for all to read. We may now have "officially" started the
pre-season. 😊
Yours, John

Thank you for this email. Please keep me updated on other Collindale Pool
information. My four kids, 13, 10, 7, 7 plan to swim with Collindale this
summer. I'm excited to have FAST coaches - that is a great move for the team.

Hello Collindale Swim Team swimmers and families! Can you believe it is almost
time for summer season to begin again? Hopefully everyone is looking forward
to the warmth of summer sunshine and being back in the pool! We don't have a
great standing e-mail list, so I'm forwarding this to a cobbled together list
from the last several years.
Organization of Collindale Swim Team Parent Board
Every year is a learning year! This year we are beginning the season with a
more structured parent board than we have previously had to help organize and
manage the team. While we are still working on some of the details around
bylaws and structure, we would like to introduce the board that will be helping
to serve the team this year.
Ø President: Heidi Mechtenberg
Ø Vice-President: Renee Ostergren
Ø Treasurer: Lisa Hubert
Ø Secretary: John Hutton
Ø Outward Parent Liaison: Dan Ostergren
Ø Merchandizing: Carol Clear
Ø Activities Coordinator: Trish Biggio
Ø Volunteer Coordinator: Karen Doty
Ø Inward Parent Liaisons: Trish Biggio, Carol Clear
These folks (and several others) have been busy since last fall getting ready
for the 2014 year and are excited to see things coming together. If you have
any questions or concerns regarding swim team, we would love to hear from you!
Please contact John Hutton at john.f.hutton@xxxxxxxxx.
Plans for Coaching
We are in the final stages of negotiating a contract with the Fort Collins Area
Swim Team (FAST) to provide coaching services for our team this year. We will
have a head coach as well as assistant coaches from their system with the
built-in benefits of the training and certifications required to be a FAST
coach. This is similar to the way we hired coaches last year, although we
worked through Splash Pool Services instead of FAST. With FAST, we will be
assured that our coaches have gone through background checks and have had
references checked. While FAST will be providing coaches, we will not be a
FAST team. We will remain a summer club (as we always have been) run by the
parents for our swimmers. We will have more details as the season gets closer
and will be happy to field any questions in this area. We believe this is
really a win-win for both Collindale Swim Team and FAST.
There has been some misinformation given that Collindale Swim Team will be
sharing the pool with FAST. To be clear, Collindale Swim Team does not own the
pool and never has. The Collindale Recreation Association decides who will use
the pool and when, and they have a long history of supporting Collindale Swim
Team. Last year, they also allowed FAST to use Collindale pool after summer
season was over during the time that EPIC was unavailable. (You could say that
Collindale Swim Team “shared” the pool with FAST last year, in that sense.)
The Collindale Recreation Board has given us every assurance that they want
Collindale Swim Team to continue to have use of the pool and whatever support
they can give us to help us be successful.
Schedule and Deadlines
5/5............... Registration email with information and
registration form
5/13.............. Parents Meeting
5/20.............. Parents Meeting (rain out date)
5/24-5/26.......... Memorial Weekend – Pool opens

Next Communication
On 5/5, we will have an information packet regarding meets, fees, forms, email
list, and coaches. Please plan on forwarding this to any prospective swimmers
and families you know that would be interested in swim team. Help us get the
word out!
We are very excited to move into a new season. We look forward to seeing many
returning faces as well as many new ones.
Go Collindale!
Sincerely,
Collindale Swim Team Parent Board
