Encourage the swimmer in your life with a fun sign

Ranked #21,934 in Sports & Recreation, #528,471 overall

On those cold gray days when jumping into the pool is not too appealing, a cute sign for your swimmer's bedroom might be just the encouragement they need.

All over America young swimmers are donning their caps and swimming their hearts out for their school or community rec centers, as they dive into the pool in the frenzy that is a swim meet.

It's great fun on a hot summer afternoon to dive into the cool water while Mom and Dad and Grandma cheer you on. But how about those swim team practices where the coach is wearing sweatpants and a jacket, the jet stream's delivering an artic blast from Canada, and the last place anybody wants to be is in the pool, indoors or not.

These are the moments that require a bit of encouragement and a show of appreciation. A unique gift sign might be just the inspiration your swimmer needs. Check out my ebay store and find a great sign to inspire your great kid at <ahref=www.stores.ebay.com/Century-of-Signs-Family-Sign-Shop. 

Cheerleaders Need Some Cheering On Too!

It's not all fun of games and competitons; cheerleaders spend long hours at practice too.

Cheerleading is an athletic endeavor that rivals any other sport for endurance, coordination and skill. Today's cheerleaders spend long hours, both in conditioning and practicing their routines.

Gone are the days when a cheerleader's primary aim was to be on the sidelines, cheering on the athletes. Today a cheerleader is as athletic and strong as the player she or he is encouraging on the field.

Cheerleaders are expected to be in top condition, and spend hours at the gym to achieve the strength, tone and flexibility they need to execute challenging routines, pyramids and formations.

Does Your Swim Team Need to Raise Money?

For many swim teams, finances become a problem at some point. Here are some ideas that have worked for us:
1) Gift Wrapping at Barnes and Noble.
During the holidays, Barnes and Noble lets various groups set up a gift wrap table. They provide the paper and supplies. While there is no charge for the gift wrap, most customers leave a dollar or two tip, which the swim team can keep.

2) Pool parties. Our pool rents out to families and organizations for after hours pool parties. We provide the pool and the lifeguards, and charge around $200. for the facility.

3) Pizza sales. A local pizza shop allows us to sell pizza at the pool, which they provide to us at a discount.
