To all of our Dolphin Dads, we wish you a happy, relaxing, and joyous Father’s Day!

Please read through the entire email! There is important information regarding this week’s meet! Thank you!

🐬Meet #2: Our second meet will be at AWAY against Plantar’s Walk on Tuesday, June 17th.

• Please update your swimmer’s status for this meet by 6pm tonight. It is very hard for us to make day-of-meet changes on deck!
• Plantar’s Walk is located at 901 Lynnwood Road Knightdale, NC 27545. Directions: Take 540 East to exit 24B Knightdale Blvd/US 64 Business E. Make a slight right onto Lynnwood Road. At the traffic circle, take the 1st exit and stay on Lynnwood Road. Continue about 0.5 miles. Turn left (at Oakgrove Drive) into the pool parking lot. They reserve the pool parking lot for us, but it may fill up. NOTE: the pool parking lot is a ONE-WAY LOOP. If the parking lot is full when you arrive, please park along Lynnwood Road (on the pool side). If necessary, parking is available on Oak Grove and Clay Hill. Please do not block driveways or walk through/between yards.
• Please plan to arrive by 5:15 in order to get settled and get your swimmer’s number on their arm. Our swimmers will begin warm-ups at 5:30.
• They will have concessions available: tacos/quesadillas, drinks, and snacks. Credit cards and cash accepted.
• Please consider bringing a camp chair (and pop-up, if you’d like more shade) as they may not have enough deck seating for us. We will be sitting on the left side of the pool deck.
• All volunteers will meet promptly at 5:45. Please review your volunteer position prior to the meet.
• Please take a moment to review with your child the events that they are swimming, especially right before a race. This will help when they get to the benches before lining up at the blocks!
• Not Attending: The following swimmers are listed as “not attending” for this meet. If this information is incorrect or if your child gets sick the day of the meet or something else comes up, please let us know ASAP. Coach Ben sets the lineup on Sunday evenings and it is really hard to make day-of changes to our line-up! Coach Ben @ 919-889-4232 or Jill @ 757-580-4021 or Joanna @ 973-670-0923.

🐬Practice Reminders:

• The more your swimmer attends practice, the better they will get! We’ve had poor attendance at practices lately and would like to encourage everyone to attend as often as possible!
• Sick Policy: Please do not send your child to practice if they are sick! If your child has had a fever or other illness, please wait at least 24 hours fever-free or symptom-free (off of fever reducing medicines) before sending your child back to swim.
• WALKING ON DECK: Please remind your children to walk on deck. There has been a lot of running and this is unsafe for everyone!
• Water squirters: Please remind your children to not squirt the coaches or any swimmers during practice.
• Ants & Bees: We’ve had a lot of ant bites and bee stings lately as there seems to be an abundance of each looking for water sources in this heat. If your child is bit or stung, there is After Bite available in the first aid kit hanging by the garbage/recycling bins in the entryway.
• If using the shared toys, please return them to the bin when finished!

🐬SwimTopia: A really neat feature of the SwimTopia app is the ability to see what your child(ren) is/are swimming on the day of a meet and to see their results during/after the meet. On the main page of the app, scroll down under your names to Upcoming Events, and click on the meet. The events your child is swimming in will be listed here on the day of the meet. It also shows what work shifts you have signed up for. If you’d like to see results from a past meet, click on Past Events directly to the right under “Upcoming.”
