CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SINGLE AGE STATE SWIMMERS!

It was an exciting weekend in the pool!  A total of 23 swimmers competed for DFAC at the Single Age State meet, showing impressive focus and determination. Congratulations to every swimmer - we’re incredibly proud of everything you achieved!

 

SWIM PRACTICE UPDATE

Please see email #2 about observing practices.  The board recognizes this change is hard and the current guidelines are different than what was previously allowed.   The club is required to adhere to USA rules and regulations and losing access to the mezzanine presents different challenges with SafeSport.  The board and coaches are doing our best to work through these as quickly as possible during this trial period.

 A couple of items to highlight from the email as a reminder:

  • Parents are only allowed in the designated bleachers (no outside chairs, beanbags, etc).  This is the first 2 sets of bleachers on the pool deck (please do not use the 3rd set as it will interfere with the coaches/senior swimmers).
  • Parents WILL NOT INTERFERE with practice.  This includes, but is not limited to:
    • Communication during practice with the coaches (in person, text, TeamSnap, etc).
    • Siblings moving around pool deck
    • Parent involvement in practice
  • We are guests of DAHS.  Please be respectful of the staff and the space.
  • This is a one-week trial period.
