Hi Parents, 

We have been bombarding you this week with emails and information but we hope you have found this information to be helpful. Here is another email chock full of information and requests for responses from you.

Friday Practice Reminder

• 8 & Unders: No practice! See you at Champs!
• 9-10 year olds: 8 - 9 am
• 11 & Ups: 9 - 10 am

Champs Reminders & Schedule of Events

• No personal tents are allowed at Champs! We will have a team tent where you can set up your chairs & hang out with the team.
• It will be hot & humid. Bring plenty of water or sports drinks of choice as well as snacks.
• Traffic is unpredictable and varied. While it normally takes 45 minutes to get to Cecil, we recommend allotting more time than that to ensure a less stressful arrival to the venue.
• Remember that all swimmers must wear a team cap! If you are in need of a new cap, please get in touch with Meredith Connell, [email protected].
• If you have not seen the heat sheets that were sent out on Wednesday, please check the website for them and review the entries. If you have any issues contact Terry Davis immediately at [email protected]. 
• We are still in need of meet marshalls for Saturday afternoon! Meet Marshall is a position that varies in responsibility but could include directing pedestrian traffic, blocking entry to certain areas, or other various jobs that the league needs in order to keep the venue orderly for all of the swimmers and families. If you will be at the meet and are able to donate your time, one of the perks is that you get a parking pass!  If you are willing to help the league out, please contact Elissa Karl, our volunteer coordinator, at [email protected].

End of Season Party

• RSVP: Please join us for our end-of-season party on Monday, July 17th at 7 p.m. at Christ Church on Greenland Rd. We will have desserts, games and awards & recognition for all of our hard-working swimmers! If you have not yet RSVPd for your family's attendance, please take a minute to do that now so that we can prepare for the right number of people. Click here to RSVP!
• Volunteers: As you know by now, nothing happens on a swim team without the help of our families! If you have not yet fulfilled your volunteer obligations to the team, this party is a great way to finish up those hours! We need assistance with set up, monitoring the activity stations, and clean-up at the end. Please sign up here to help out!

Suit Collection 

• If you have any used team suits from this season or previous seasons, in good condition, that you would like to donate back to the team, we will be collecting these suits at the end of season party on Monday, July 17th. If you will not be at the party but have suits to donate, you may drop them off at Dawn Beeson's house, 209 W Berkswell. Next season these suits will be made available for purchase at a discounted rate for team members.

If you have any questions about Champs of the end of the season party, please don't hesitate to reach out! 

Go Dolphins!
