Because we are transitioning away from this website, we recommend you look up Vortex news on the Team Vortex Facebook page.
If you do not want to use Facebook, we are publishing as much as possible in the March newsletter and via e-mail! We will host
a training session for the new website on Tuesday, March 30, at 7 p.m. at a location TBA but likely over at CSU.

For swim meet information, search Colorado Swimming Inc. and pull down their Meet Schedule page. We are hosting the Shamrock on 3/21, and we will participate in at least the following meets: Brighton April Fools on 4/3, Eaton Spring Splash on 4/16 - 17, and FAST LC Open on 4/30 - May 2. You can view the meet information .pdfs from that page. We will distribute entry forms for the Brighton meet via email a bit later in March.

I got the forms up on the website. So go to the swim meet calendar to download the meet information. Also don't forget to become a fan of Vortex Swim club on facebook.

Hi everyone, I have forms for the following swim meets:
1. Cheyenne Feb Meet (Feb 20-21st) for swimmers not swimming Silver State or State Championships.
2. Splash and Dash (Feb. 14th) for swimmers close to qualifying for Silver State or State.
3. Silver State Meet (Feb. 26-28) for swimmers who have qualified or are close to qualifying.

The system will not allow me to enter meets. So please email me at jackcolo@pacbell.net to get a copy of these meets.

Many of you know that our website has been down. We had a database failure which will explain why you may not find some of the information you're used to. We are working on restoring the swim meet calendar and other sections of the website this coming week.

In the meantime, please check your email tomorrow for our TEAM GEAR FUNDRAISER which begins MONDAY, 2/1 and lasts through MONDAY, 2/8.
If our team meets a target order, then a percentage of the proceeds go right back to Team Vortex!

Also, come sample some delicious coffees that are part of our coffee fundraier. The tastings will be held at Mulberry Pool Monday and Tuesday during practice. The company will also offer free ice cream for your kids!

TOMORROW, August 7, is the last day to register for the Horsetooth Open Water swim, which takes place on August 16.
Email coachjackie@teamvortex.org for an entry form.

We also need six volunteers to help with timing and registration on the morning of August 16. Contact Coach Jackie if you can help.

The 2009-2010 swim season will begin on August 31, 2009 at Mulberry Pool. Registration will begin at 4:45pm followed by practice at it's regularly scheduled times.
