The MacDolphins last swim meet of the 2010 season is an away meet on Tuesday, July 20th against the Apex Breakers. Apex is off Salem Street in downtown Apex. Allow 15 minutes travel time from MDCC to Apex. Here are some particulars:
- 6 & Unders will swim first (good news!!)
- There is parking in the parking lot and the grass area adjacent to the pool. After these areas fill up, we can park along the street adjacent to the pool. They asked us to encourage carpooling to cut down on the number of people that will have to park along the street.
- They have a modest snack bar with pizza, hotdogs and drinks.
Scratchs and No-Shows
For the Park Village meet we had a total of 47 scratches and no-shows. Very few of the scratches come in after the heat sheets had been prepared. We only had 1 no-show at the Park Village meet! Thank you parents for scratching your swimmers! A few late scratches are anticipated and happen at every meet but No-Shows really make the jobs of the coaches and volunteers harder than they need to be.
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 Apex 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.
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.

The results from the last night’s MacDolphins swim meet against the Park Village Porpoises are now available.
Thank you parents!
A special thank you to all of the MacDolphins parents from your Technical Team. We only had 1 no-show last night so our heat sheet was very clean. It took a little more than an hour to process the few deck changes and load the times from the timing system and points from the score sheet and produce a results report. Thanks to everyone who submitted your scratches early, it really helps a lot.

The MacDolphins won their 4th meet of the season tonight. The MacDolphins defeated Park Village 213-160. Unfortunately weather once again played havoc with the swim meet, causing the meet to be called complete just after the 15-18 girls Breast Stroke Main Event due to lightning.
