2008 Swim Team Offers Sponsorship Opportunity
The Venetian Pools Swim Team will offer a limited number of sponsorships for the 2008 swim team season. These sponsorships offer you the opportunity to showcase your business to more than 500 Venetian families and hundreds of guests during the seven-week summer swim league season.
The Venetian Pools Community Association is a registered 501 (c) 3 nonprofit corporation. Sponsorships allow the Venetian Swim Team to enhance the experience for their 150+ swimmers. The swim team is self-funded and relies on dues and fundraising to exist.
Sponsorships for 2008 are available for $200. This sponsorship allows the opportunity to display your black and white company name or logo on our team t-shirts, presence on the swim team website, as well as recognition in our heat sheets sold at home meets. Since there are a limited number of sponsorships, they will be secured on a first-come,first-served basis.
To secure a 2008 Venetian Swim Team Sponsorship, please complete the
application form, submit a $200 check payable to Venetian Pools Community Association, and send a .jpg file with your company logo.
Questions regarding sponsorship should be directed to Cynthia Smith at
(404) 377-7308 or cynthiabsmith@yahoo.com.
The deadline for sponsorships is April 15, 2007.
Sponsorships received for more than $200 are tax deductible and treated as charitable donations.

Venetian Poolsharks – Successful In The Pool & Out!
The 2007 Venetian Poolsharks began their season in May with 3
things on their “to do list”:
1.Make good sportsmanship their top priority;
2.Make practices perfect (because “practice makes permanent”);
3.Have fun!
Not only did the Poolsharks meet each of these goals, but they did it with flying colors. The Poolsharks ended the 2007 season with a 4-1 dual meet record, making their coaches – Jessica Berkowitz, Andrejs Duda, Alissa Muldoon, Joey Gosselar, Laura Quade, Annie Gibbs and Kim Farris -- very proud.
After their last dual meet, the Poolsharks led the Venetian Pools community in a swim-a-thon, donating $1150 and over 40 “gently used” suits to Inner Harbor, an organization that helps abused children and youths.
Almost one hundred Venetian swimmers competed in the DeKalb County Championships on July 2 & 3. Sixty of those swimmers qualified for finals in 128 individual events and 25 relays. The Championship meet was an incredibly exciting one with the lead changing hands between Venetian and Echo Ridge several times during finals day. There were many hard fought races, Venetian personal best times and moments of Poolsharks’ sportsmanship. In the end, Venetian finished second place to Echo Ridge.
Congratulations to the following:
Age Group Champions: Venetian’s 6&under Girls, 6&under Boys, 10&under Boys and 12&under Girls.
Individual Event Champions: Margaret Carlton (6&under Girls 25 Free); Ian Grum (6&under Boys 25 Back); Kendall Nelson (8&under Girls 25 Fly); Sam Berg (10&under Boys 25 Free); Dean Farris (10&under Boys 100 IM, 25 Back and 50 Free); Kim Farris (18&under Girls 50 Back).
Relay Champions: 6&under Boys Free Relay (Nick Katinsky, Jack Reilly, Caleb Rumsey, Ian Grum); 10&under Boys Medley and Free Relays (Robert Alexander, Sam Berg, Luke Jackson, Dean Farris); 14&under Girls Free Relay (Molly Brown, Hattie Alexander, Anna Solomon, Jen Farris)
Special congratulations to Dean Farris for setting a new 10&under Boys 50 Freestyle DeKalb County Championships Record with a time of 28.61 seconds.
The entire Venetian community should be proud of what the 2007 Venetian Poolsharks have accomplished this summer. Go Poolsharks!!!
