7 Ways To Make Valentine\u2019s Day Special With Your Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Gigi Picard, Swimming World College Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

February 14<\/span>, aka Valentine\u2019s Day, is right around the blocks. It is such a delicious holiday: the only way most of us can justify sneaking a chocolate fix midseason.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Valentine\u2019s Day celebrates romantic love between significant others showered with flowers and ice cream, it also honors love connections between family and friends. After all, sweet is good for all of us!<\/span><\/p>\n

So who says you can\u2019t bring Valentine\u2019s Day onto the deck with your swim and dive family? Personally, I\u2019m gearing up for a pre-Valentine\u2019s Day celebration Friday practice with my pink cap, goggles with a red bungee cord, and ruby red water bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for some ways to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day on deck, I have some tips and tricks for you and your team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Customize Your Mask<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is the first Valentine\u2019s Day with official COVID-19 protocols, including mandatory mask wearing at practices and competitions. Instead of frowning behind a dismal face covering, simply buy or decorate one or more of your masks with some red hearts and singing cupids and spread a smile. Just liven up the deck with a little fun and a little love!<\/span><\/p>\n

Be a Secret Valentine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love a super secret Valentine? To give someone on the team a fun surprise with just a little innocent mystery, slip something sweet – maybe swimmer-shaped (dark) chocolate or candy hearts with a tiny Happy Valentine’s Day note on top – into random swimmer bags. Then stand back and enjoy the fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Valentine\u2019s Day Cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ah, yes, the traditional Valentine\u2019s missive. No matter your level of artistic talent, I recommend making swim-themed cards for all your teammates, headlined by silly invitations like \u201cWill you be my swimming-tine\u201d and perhaps adorned by waves and mini hearts. The cornier the better, I say. St. Valentine would approve. PS \u2013\u00a0I also know that there are sites that can produce Valentine\u2019s Day ecards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Show off a Stylish Red Suit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Perhaps this year in particular, as many swim teams are finally diving back into the pool, it seems truly fitting to break out a patterned bright red or deep blush pink suit to mark the Valentine occasion. Those Valentine\u2019s Day colors should really get the heart rates pumping in the pool for those intense kick or IM sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Host a Valentine\u2019s Movie Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Popular platforms like Teleparty and Zoom allow for teammates to bond by watching rom-com movies or movies like <\/span>The Greatest Showman <\/span><\/i>or <\/span>Step Brothers<\/span><\/i>. Of course good group viewing doesn\u2019t have to include an actual movie. The team could also come together to watch reruns of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette (these shows can get addicting, especially when there\u2019s a league bracket involved). On Valentine\u2019s Day, it\u2019s just all about connection and fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Virtual Game Day or Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is a perfect team bonding experience as well because games can bring out competitiveness, hilarity and happy memories. Some team games I recommend are Among Us, Jackbox Games, skribbl, Kahoot, Jeopardy and others. You may have favorites of your own. The key is to get the heart racing, and what better way than with a game.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Quick Zoom, Facetime, Call or Text<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most of us are addicted to our phones, which makes this by far one of the simplest ways to connect and be thoughtful on Valentine\u2019s Day. Just send out a quick \u201cHappy Valentine\u2019s Day!\u201d message with an emoji or GIF to your family, friends, teammates \u2013 or maybe even shoot your shot with your crush. Just remember, no one should ever feel alone on Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s my top-of-mind list. I highly recommend celebrating Valentine\u2019s Day with your team, and I hope these suggestions will spark some ideas of your own!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
