CENTRAL ZONE OPEN WATER CHAMPIONSHIPS

Good luck to Adriana A., Avery H., Emma Rog., Tate H., and Zephyr S. this week at the open water championships!

 

SUMMER SESSION

Starting Monday, we will be following the summer practice schedule.  Please review to make sure you know what time your swimmer needs to be on deck.

 

WELCOME JUNIOR COACH MEGAN

Please join DFAC in welcoming Megan Berkley as a Junior Coach!  She is currently a swimmer in our senior group and will be assisting with the purple and silver groups this summer.

 

MEET DIRECTOR

DFAC is still in search of a parent who is willing to step up and join the board as our Meet Director.   Andi can assist and train during the June meet.  This is not a role the rest of the board can fill and need a parent volunteer to fulfill this role.  Please email me at [email protected] or Andi at [email protected] for more information.

 

AMAZON WISHLIST

Please consider helping DFAC with purchasing items off the DFAC Amazon Wish List.   All purchases are greatly appreciated!
