The MacDolphins final swim meet of the 2011 season is a home meet on Tuesday, July 19th against the Deveraux Devil Rays. 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.

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.
Scratches and No-Shows
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.

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.

Interested in learning to play water polo? Now is your chance!
Following last summer’s success, the Triangle Water Polo Club plans to offer another 5-week summer league at the Triangle Aquatic Center (aka TAC). The league will officially begin with games on July 23rd. Subsequent games will be played on Saturdays with the last game on Aug 20th.
Prior to the season opener, we will hold three clinics/practices at the TAC. These clinics will provide new players with the fundamentals of water polo and experienced players the chance to shake off the rust. Clinics are open to players from all teams.
Clinic dates are:
- Sat July 9th at 7:30-9:00 AM
- Sat July 16 from 1:00-2:00 PM
- Wed July 20 from 7:00-8:30 PM
The TAC team will also hold practices on Tuesday nights during the month of August. Practices at TAC are open to members from all teams. The cost of practice is $5 per night. There may be a small i.e. $5 fee for some of the games as well, depending on the pool.
If your child can only participate in a portion of the season, that is okay. This is a Grassroots effort with a goal of having fun!!!
If you are interested in participating please contact Rob Dickens. Please also let me know if you can attend the clinics, and which Saturday games you can attend. If you want to participate but would prefer to stay closer to home, I would be happy to put you in touch with the Springdale or Sanford coaches if those locations are more convenient.
