We are officially diving into Week 3 of the summer season, and the calendar is packed with some of our absolute favorite team traditions. Grab your calendars—here is everything you need to know about the exciting week ahead! Including SWIM BUDDIES ARE BACK (more details below)

📅 This Week’s Events

• Wednesday, June 10th: The Cookie Exchange! 🍪
  • A sweet tradition to mid-week practice. (See note below if you are donating team drinks!)
• Friday, June 12th (5:30 PM – 7:00 PM): First Pep Rally & Pizza Party! 🍕🎉
  • Come ready to bring the energy, eat some pizza, and get hyped for our first big swim event, time trials.
  • This week's pep rally is paint the sheets, lets get those sheets ready to hang at our home meets.
• Saturday, June 13th: Time Trials ⏱️
  • Reminders: 
    • Declare your swimmer: The best way to ensure we have a quick an easy time trial is to be able to have the meet prepped and ready ahead of Saturday. By declaring early we can make decisions to combine heats where is makes sense. (if your swimmer cannot make it, please let us know)
    • Signup to Volunteer: As this is only for our dolphins, we need to fill all the roles to successfully run a meet, please lets make sure every spot is filled.
  • Arrival: Please plan to arrive early so we can get events started as close to 8:00 AM as possible.
  • Why it matters: This is a crucial event for our swimmers to establish their baseline times for the season. It’s also the perfect "dry run" to see exactly how summer swim meets operate, and it offers fantastic practice for our incredible volunteers!
    • Remember swimming is a timer sport!
  • Concessions: We will have a lighter concession menu than a normal dual meet, but breakfast foods and drinks will absolutely be available to keep you fueled.

📣 Important Announcements & Reminders

• Drink Donations: For those who signed up to donate drinks to the team, please bring them to the Cookie Party on Wednesday or the Pep Rally on Friday so we can have them organized and chilled for Saturday's meet.
• Team Gear Pick-Up: Katie will be at both the Friday night Pep Rally and Saturday's Time Trials with team t-shirts and caps. If you haven't picked up your gear yet, please see her there!
• Swim Buddies are Back! 👫
  • Swim buddies are one of the absolute best ways for our kids to build community. It gives them a dedicated friend to cheer for—and someone to cheer them on in return!
  • How to join: The Swim Buddy form is attached to this post, and we will also have printed copies available at the guard shack. Please sign up and share a few fun details about your swimmer so our buddies can start connecting!

Let’s make it a great week, Dolphins! See you at the pool! 🌊
