It’s a busy week for Dolphins! Please read through this entire email for lots of details!

🐬There are NO practices tomorrow Monday, July 3rd or Tuesday, July 4th!

🐬Meet on July 5th @ Home vs. Planter’s Walk

Please be ready to warm up promptly at 5:00 (that means get to the pool before 5:00 so you have enough time to get settled and your swimmer has time to get their number and cap on). We turn over the pool to the other team for warm ups right at 5:30.

Please consider walking to the pool if you are able, to free up spaces for parking. If you are driving, please be sure to park at the top of the hill to leave room for the visiting team to park close to the pool. We extend this courtesy to the visiting team at each home meet. Park with your car facing inward toward the field to allow for as many cars as possible to park. Once inside, remember, we gather on the far side of the pool. Please consider bringing your own chairs and pop-ups for shade.

Volunteers: We have a few openings for volunteer positions for this meet. If you are able to cover a volunteer slot we would be extremely grateful. Please sign up now in SwimTopia. (on the mobile app>>view website>>three lines upper left corner>>volunteer signup calendar>>scroll down to Planter’s Walk meet>>click on the name of the person volunteering>>choose an open volunteer position). Please also be sure you have signed up for 4-5 volunteer slots this season. We have several families that have a few more to cover! This does not include volunteering at social events, only meets. We need all the help we can get—we cannot run a meet without our volunteers! Volunteers will meet promptly at 5:45 with our TSA Rep to review all positions.
