Hello MacDolphins!
First off, I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who participated in Tuesday’s meet v. the Apex Breakers. I believe they are the largest team we swim which made the meet go on for what seemed like a very, very long time. Luckily, the swimmers had some great races and everyone kept on cheering right until the very end. This summer I will be emphasizing best times so when a swimmer gets at least one at a meet, they will receive a “speeding ticket” with their times on it. This is redeemable for one free popsicle at the snack bar. We are still working out some of the details, but should have them for the kids on Monday.
Next Tuesday we swim the Olive Chapel Otters and it is also the day we take our team photo. Individual photos will be shot from 3:30 to 4:30 with the group photo to immediately follow. Please arrive at the pool on Tuesday no later than 4:15 pm. Parents did an excellent job of scratching on time last week… thank you! Please remember to scratch your swimmer NO LATER THAN SUNDAY NIGHT. The other coaches and I have to do the line ups after Monday morning practices and it significantly cuts down on the stress of making the heat sheet if all the scratches are in on time.
Also, I have included the morning schedule below. Remember that the afternoon practice times have changed as well. 6 & Unders will now start at 4:00 pm, with the 7 & 8s starting at 4:30 and the 9 & 10s starting at 5:15 pm.

Next Friday afternoon will be a special practice… Costume Day! Have your swimmer dress up in a crazy costume that they can wear while playing games in the water. The crazier the better!
Thanks for all of your support! Please email/find me at practice with any concerns or questions.
