Hello Dolfin Families!

 

Hard to believe we are starting week 8 and our final week of Spring practices! The shift to Summer practices brings a completely different energy with morning practices. It is very important to read the weekly emails for important information and deadlines. It's about to get crazy and if you are new to the team please know that once you get through the first year it gets much easier. Don't hesitate to reach out to me, age group liaisons or board members with any questions. Please do not contact the District Office with Dolfin questions. 

 

As I mentioned in the Parent Zoom meeting, I will be doing all meet entries for all of the age groups. You may enter your swimmer in 2 events for Wednesday night meets and 3 events for Saturday meets. There may be times I have to adjust the requests based on event limits and having enough swimmers in each event. I will also be submitting the relay teams so please add a note if you will be late to a meet or need to leave early. Changing relays on deck at the last minute can get crazy when someone doesn't show up. We have a rule that you must show up for warm-ups to swim in the first relay unless you have communicated ahead of time. Showing up for warm-ups is important for all swimmers. If your swimmer is entered in a meet and for some reason they cannot make it, please text me.

 

This week at practice we will work on relays since we will have relays at all dual meets. We will continue to work on starts, turns, and stroke corrections all season. You may have noticed that it is harder for coaches to communicate with swimmers at this pool, so we pull them out of the water a lot more. You will also see coaches in the water with the younger swimmers more, during the summer to help with hands on corrections. Learning how to swim strokes correctly takes time and every swimmer learns at a different rate. Please try to have fun and enjoy the process. 

 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

 

See you on the pool deck!

Hello Dolfin families : )
 
There is a lot going on this week:
 
Season long jobs: With Time Trials under our belt we had a chance to review our needs and it looks like we will need a few more season long jobs filled.  We will need another Starter/Ref, an additional ribbon writer (this job can be done at home meets or at home and will be shared with the Alvarenga family) and a ribbon filer (this job (filing the ribbons from the ribbon writers in the family files) can be done during practices while your swimmer swims).  Please email me at  [email protected] if you are interested in any of these jobs.
 
New regular meet jobs:  New jobs have been added to all regular meets.  Remember you need 4 regular meet points to meet your volunteer requirements.
 
Concord City Meet work shifts:  Work shifts for Concord City Meet are now open, however, these jobs are based on the needs from the 2019 meet and may change slightly based on the needs this year.  If changes need to be made you will be notified by email. Even though this is an invitational these jobs count towards your regular meet points.
 
Battle of the Ages work shifts:  Battle of the Ages work shifts will open on Friday, June 4th at 8am.  Remember you need 3 points (most jobs are worth one point except for the Twitter job which is worth 2 points) to meet your volunteer requirement.  
 
Devil Mountain Pentathlon:  Work shifts for Pentathlon will open on June 4th at 8am.  This is an Invitational meet so if your swimmer is signed up to swim you need to sign up for a work shift.  There will be one clerk of the course work shift that is a three hour shift and will be worth 1 regular meet point because of the length of the shift.
 
As always if you have any questions please email me at  [email protected]
 
Thanks : )
