Nine Grunions and our coaches traveled up to Santa Clarita a week ago to compete in the 2013 SPMS SCY Regional Championship Meet. All nine of our Grunions scored some valuable points and brought home medals and ribbons. Special shout out goes to Jacquie Cole, Sara Gilliland, Jeff Liu, Pat Powers and Stan Smith, each of whom brought home at least one gold medal! Don Derbyshire, Susan Duquesnel, Mike Miranda & Bart Parnes also competed, scoring individually in each of their age groups. Next time you see these Grunions, let them know how proud you are of them for representing the team! Go Grunions!

Silverado Pool's Summer 2013 schedule starts on Saturday, June 15th. What that means for us Grunions is that starting on Wednesday, June 19th through Wednesday, August 28th, the Grunions will not be having Wednesday Night Workouts due to scheduling conflicts with the City Pool. There will be additional reminders as we get closer, but please make note of these cancelled workouts.
In addition, please note that this summer the Grunions will remain at Silverado Pool for weekday workouts, unlike last year, when we switched over to Victoria Pool in Carson.

As a result of Yuji's resignation as the treasurer of the team effective at the end of April (he wants more time to travel the world spreading good cheer on how wonderful the Grunions are), the board has appointed Ruth Rawlings as the new treasurer for the remainder of the year. With years of business experience, Ruth is exceptionally well qualified to fill the treasurer position of the team. We are very excited to have her on the Board. From now on, please direct any questions you may have regarding membership dues and other related issues to Ruth.
As a reminder, the team accepts payments by PayPal, checks and Square. If you are paying with your personal checks, please do not give your checks to the coach on deck or to other board members. You should either directly give your checks to the treasurer of the team or send it to the team's mail box at 3350 East 7th Street, #123, Long Beach, CA 90804.

(Ya I know it says 2012, but I don't have '13, so deal with it :-) )
Hi Grunions, With the short course yards season quickly drawing to a close and long course around the corner, a lot of Grunions are half way or more to completing their UCOC events. Don't forget you can attend any FINA/USMS meet that is sanctioned. If you need more information on those meets please let me know. Check Off Challenge Current Results:
If you see any errors please let me know. For those newer swimmers, here is what the UCOC is about: In 2005, we decided to issue a challenge to all Grunions who wanted to push their swimming capabilities to the max. So with that we developed two challenges: Ultimate Check-off Challenge (UCOC) -In order to achieve this, a swimmer must complete all events offered at meets. Here is a breakdown of the events: 50 free 100 free 200 free 400 OR 500 free (depending on pool length) 800 OR 1000 free (same) 1500 OR 1650 free (same) 50, 100 and 200 back 50, 100 and 200 breast 50, 100 and 200 fly 100, 200 and 400 IM JV Challenge:For the JV Challenge, you remove the 200 fly, 200 back, 200 breast and 400 IM from the UCOC. If you complete the UCOC, you will get not only a certificate, but a nice patch we had made. Some swimmers who accomplished it in past years have had them put on their Grunion parkas, which look really nice. You will also get a second patch with the year in which you completed it. This is nice for those who do it each year to add on to their parkas. As for the JV Challenge, you will be awarded a certificate. But the catch with the JV Challenge is that you are only eligible to complete it once and get recognition. After you have completed the JV Challenge, you must then set your goals higher and aim for the UCOC. This is why it's called a "CHALLENGE". Kenny Brisbin Long Beach Grunions Head Coach |
