Raleigh Swimming Association is offering a new track-out swim camp this Spring. Sessions are Monday-Thursday from 8AM-12noon. One camp is offered for each track-out. Check it out at: Wahoo Water Camp at SwimRSA and RSA’s Wahoo Water Camp.
On July 19th the News and Observer ran an article called Where the Neighborhood Swimmers Meet. It is a nice article where the author reminisces about her past summers as a swim parent and how this summer is different as her daughter has aged out of swim team.
There were several follow up comments from parents that are worth reading too (like this one and this one from our own swim parent Angela Smelcer).
The MacDolphins held their end of season banquet last night followed by a pool party. A great time was had by all! Thanks to everyone who helped put the banquet together and to all of the families who attended despite the heat!
Congratulations to the following MacDolphins on their awards:
Swimmer cards for all swimmers who did not attend the banquet can be found in swimmer’s folders. Please clean out your swimmer’s folders, many of them have quite a few ribbons, time slips, and speeding tickets in them!
Photos from the MacDolphins’ swim meet against theDevereaux Devil Rays on July 19th have been posted.
The MacDolphins lost a thriller against Deveraux Tuesday night. Results from the meet have been posted. Like last week, posted results include any DQs that were recorded. We believe that some of the MDCC DQ slips ended up in the Devereaux pile so there may be a few that were not recorded. The majority of the DQs this week were in the breast stroke events. We had three heats where timing system glitch caused a loss of times, we continue to working on our process to eliminate any glitches.
Congratulations to Mitch DeForest and Sarah DiPangrazio who were MDCC’s triple winner this week. Team and pool records will be updated later in the week, look for any news in the weekly newsletter.
The Swim Team Banquet is Thursday night at MDCC! Call the club for reservations ASAP if you have not already registered.
The MacDolphins lost a thriller last night to the Devereaux Devil Rays 259-255. The meet was very close all night and it came down to the relays. The MacDolphins needed to win 7 of the 10 Freestyle Relays to regain the lead but alas it was not to be. The MacDolphins won 6 of the 10 relays. Many of the relays were very close adding to the excitement.
Results from the Cary City Meet have been posted. 19 MacDolphins swam in the 2011 Cary City Meet. Congratulations to all MacDolphins who swam in CCM, a great time was had by all. Thanks to the parents who helped by volunteering and to Coach Elyse and Coach KB for the breakfast spread and for working with our swimmers all day.
Results for the entire meet are available at: CaryCityMeet.org
