Mini-Dolfins
Spring Mini’s is currently full with a waiting list. We are doing our best to work through the current enrollment and move swimmers who are ready up to the team. If you are wait listed, you will be contacted if a space becomes available for your swimmer.
Summer Mini’s still has some openings, but we do expect that to fill as well. The last opportunity to try out for summer mini’s will be Friday, June 3. Try outs are free, but pre-registration is required. Register for the June 3 try outs here. You may register for programs before you attend try outs.
Team Website
Some information on the website is only available if you are logged into the website. Returning families can use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page if they have trouble accessing your account.
New families should have received an email from the Dolfins website to finish setting up their account for the team website. The email has the subject “Your password to access Pleasant Hill Dolfins On-Line”. If you have not received that email, or if the link has expired, you can use the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. If you still have trouble logging in, please contact me at [email protected] or (925) 682-0896.
Please note that each family has one login email. Additional emails on your account receive team communications only.
Waivers
Waivers are signed electronically in our registration system. Swimmers who do not have a waiver on file will receive a separate email from our registration system ([email protected]) with the subject “Please complete enclosed waivers for Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District”. You must click on the link in the email to sign and submit the waiver. Waivers must be signed for your swimmer(s) to participate in practices.
Work Fee Deposits
ALL swimmers must have a $500 Family Deposit check turned in before they can participate in practices (one deposit per family). Please make checks payable to “PHD” and write the swimmer’s name on the memo line. Checks will ONLY be cashed if work assignments are not completed. There is no Family Fee for families with Mini’s only.
Work assignments will be discussed at the Parent Meeting on May 19 at 7:30 pm at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center (233 Gregory Lane).
Checks can be turned in to the District Office (147 Gregory Lane, M-F 9am-5pm) until noon on April 11. After noon, checks will be collected at the pool when swimmers check in for practice.
Lifeguard Training
The District is hiring lifeguards and swim instructors for the summer! All applicants need to have American Red Cross Lifeguarding Certification. We still have space in classes starting April 2 (weekends), April 4 (spring break) and April 23 (weekends)! These positions are great opportunities for swimmers to give back to their community and learn valuable life skills. Check the website for classes and application information.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the pool soon!
