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).

Here are some particulars:
  • Team pictures will be taken before the meet. Swimmers who want an individual picture should be at the pool no later than 3:30. All swimmers need to be at the pool by 4:15 for the team picture.
  • Swimmers should be check in and be numbered when they arrive so warm ups can start on time after the team picture. The swimmer check in table will be located near the entrance of the pool. Please make sure to check in when you arrive at the pool.
  • The MDCC snack bar will not be serving food during the swim meet, only candy will be sold from the snack bar. Food will be available for purchase from the Home Swim Meet menu which will be set up under the awning in the baby pool enclosure.
  • Senior recognition will take place after the Breast Stroke events are complete.  The MacDolphins have six seniors graduating this year, please join us as we recognize their achievements and commitments to the MacDolphins swim team.

Scratches and No-Shows

Please don’t wait until the last minute, if your swimmer(s) won’t be at the meet and haven’t scratched yet, please do so ASAP. If you aren’t sure, double check the Deveraux scratch list to make sure your swimmer is listed. The scratch system has been improved to include a confirmation e-mail once the scratch has been entered into the system.

Will your swimmer(s) arrive late or leave early? The MacDolphins’ scratch list allows for “partial scratches” to accommodate those swimmers who will only be a part of a swim meet. If you know you swimmers will miss a portion of the meet, please enter a partial scratch or note it on the e-mail or text message.

NOTE: Telling one of the coaches at swim practice that your swimmer(s) will not be at a meet does not mean they are on the scratch list – you still need to submit your scratch using the web site, email, or text message.

Volunteers

Please check the Deverux Job Assignment page to see where you can help. We are still in need of a few volunteers to fully staff the Deveraux swim meet. All families are asked to volunteer for four (4) positions during the season.
