We are excited to let everyone know that we will be tie-dying our team t-shirts on Monday, June 1st, throughout the morning. The 6 and unders must dye their shirts AFTER practice, 11 and up group must dye their shirts BEFORE practice, everyone else can either come early or stay after their practice. Our goal is to be finished by 12:00.

We have organized the process to make it simple and fun for everyone. First, you will receive your family’s swim team shirts. Next, stations will be set up in sequential order and volunteers will be on site to guide swimmers through each tie dying step. Finally, we will also provide clear instructions for how to rinse and care for the shirts at home to ensure the colors turn out bright, vibrant, and long lasting!

A few important points to keep in mind:

• Please do not wear good clothes or coverups to practice- as tie-dye can stain clothes.
• We will have disposable gloves, although there is typically some dye that remains on skin. This will come off after an afternoon at the pool!
• Plan to spend about 30 minutes dying your shirt.
• Shirts will be taken home in a plastic bag and will need to be rinsed according to the instructions provided.

This is a great opportunity for swimmers to personalize their team shirts and have some fun together. We hope that as many swimmers can attend as possible, but we will dye the shirts of swimmers who can’t be there on June 1st. (Due to the extensive set up, there will not be a second opportunity to dye shirts) The shirts of folks that cannot be there on June 1st will be rinsed and passed out to swimmers during practice on June 3rd or can be picked up during practice any time after this date.

In order to make this large project happen for 200+ swimmers and coaches, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS! Full volunteer hours are from 8:30 - 12:30, but if you can’t be there this full time, we will take your help for shorter sessions as well. Your hours helping with this process will count towards your volunteer obligation. If you can help, please text Julie Armstrong at 937-901-5607 to let her know. Julie will then forward your names and hours to the volunteer coordinator. Folks experienced with tie dye are particularly encouraged to volunteer, but all are welcome as we need lots of volunteers to make this run smoothly.

Lastly– we are asking for donations of various supplies that are needed to tie dye. If you have any of the following you are willing to donate, please bring them to the pool ASAP, before June 1st.

• Clean 5 gallon buckets (we need about 4– these will be returned to you so write your name on the buckets)
• Plastic grocery bags (we need at least 200!)
• Large plastic tubs for water (17ish gallon tubs with handles- these will be returned)
• Old drink pitchers or funnels (that you are willing to part with as they will be exposed to dye.)

Please text Julie Armstrong with any questions you might have about this process. We are looking forward to seeing everyone on June 1st!
