Photos of the MacDolphins who swam in the Cary City Meet on July 16th have been posted. Final results should be available in the next day or two.
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.
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.

Please plan to attend the Swim Team Banquet at 6:00pm on Thursday, July 21, 2011 at the clubhouse. Make your reservation through the MDCC website or by calling the club. They will be taking reservations now through Tuesday, July 19th. The awards ceremony will be held at 7:00pm followed by a pool party from 8:00pm – 10:00pm.
Other than the heat, the weather cooperated for the first time in almost a month and the swim meet went off on the date as scheduled! The results from Tuesday night’s meet against Regency Park are now available. For this meet we used Park Village’s timing system and they ran a glitch free meet.
This week the posted results include any DQs that were recorded. There were a couple places where the information on the DQ sheets wasn’t real clear so there is a small chance the DQ was assigned to the wrong swimmer. The majority of the DQs this week were in the breast stroke events.
Unfortunately we had a quite a few no-shows and very late scratches for the Park Village meet. If your swimmer(s) will not be at the meet, please let us know!
Messages sent to the scratch@macdolphins.org email address or the 919-410-6322 text number automatically get forwarded to Coach Elyse and several other people so it is the best way to let us know. Please do not call the MDCC pool and leave a message with the guard staff as those messages rarely make it to the swim team.
Congratulations to Melissa Hamrick and Duncan McSorley 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.
Tuesday July 19th is the final swim meet of the 2011 Summer Season. ,The MacDolphins host the Devereaux Devil Rays and will also recognize our seniors after the completion of the breast stroke events.
There is no swim team practice, July 13th, for the MacDolphins due to the Emerald Point Wet ‘N Wild Trip. Practice will resume Thursday on the normal schedule. Enjoy the free afternoon!
It was at least 100 degrees on the pool deck yesterday afternoon but it wasn’t raining! It was nice to finally get a full swim meet in without having to worry about the weather. Unfortunately the heat wasn’t on the MacDolphins’ side, falling to Park Village 287-227. Results will be posted in the next day or so.
