The Seal Buddy program is an important element of the strong team spirit of the Strawberry Seals and is really key for helping the younger swimmers get comfortable in the big team environment. We hope you will all participate in the fun buddy events we have planned. This will only work with your help. The hope is that the buddies will cheer loudly for one another at meets, will help increase confidence and will foster inclusiveness. The buddy list will be posted at the pool, too.

Please let us know if you have any questions or ideas. We welcome input as we get off to a great season.

See you at the pool!

Seal Buddy Coordinators

We have several events planned for the Seal Buddies this season, including the following

Buddy Week

The week of April 20th-24th we will place a large box at the pool during swim team practice Monday-Friday. Please have each buddy make something --a special drawing, a craft whatever your child would like, and attach a photo of him/her with their name and a note. Please put the craft/art in the box poolside and have your son/daughter check everyday that week to see if their buddy has left something for them in the box.

Buddy Activity Time

At our Seals Potluck evening event starting at 6pm on Friday May 8th we will be doing some fun activities with our buddies. Please make sure your child attends so our Strawberry Seals team spirit can soar. This is key bonding time. We plan to do buddy team tug of war, wheel barrow races, a water balloon toss and to top it off a whipped cream run!

Buddy Phone Days

We encourage buddies to try and call each other the Thursday or Friday in early evening before one of the first few meets. You can choose the day. To break the ice, we have three suggested questions for the first call.

1.What events are you swimming?
2.What is your favorite thing about swim team?
3.What is your favorite thing to do with your family when your not at swim practice?

After that, we hope that buddies will call each other before meets to say GOOD LUCK on a regular basis!! We will provide you with your buddy's phone number in the Seals' booklet.
