DOLPHINS VS. AGC SHARKS (Monday, June 8)
Good afternoon, Dolphins Families!
We are excited for our next away meet of the season against the AGC Sharks on Monday, June 8.
A Few Important Notes
This may not be a typical meet experience. Because June 8 had been communicated as a bye week for the past ten months, many of our swimmers, families, and committee members have existing travel plans. As a result, we expect a smaller team presence than usual.
All four co-chairs will be out of town. Committee members who remain in town, along with our coaching staff, will do everything possible to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for our families.
For swimmers who are away, we have worked with the league to allow Heat 1 times from our June 1 meet against Capital City to be used for the June 8 meet, so those swimmers can still be represented. As a result, many absent swimmers will appear in the lineup as "phantom swimmers" using their times from last week's meet. If you are planning to be out of town and notice that your swimmer has been declared for the meet, please do not change their status. This has been done intentionally so that their June 1 performance can be included in the June 8 results.
While the meet may look a little different, our focus remains the same: supporting our swimmers, encouraging team spirit, and making the most of every opportunity to compete.
Swimmer Declaration Deadline
If you will be in town and have not declared your swimmer, it is extremely important that attending families do so ASAP.
The deadline to declare your swimmer is Sunday at 12:00 PM.
Our coaches spend many hours building meet entries and relay lineups, and they need adequate time to prepare for the meet. No swimmers will be added to the lineup after the Sunday noon deadline.
If your swimmer plans to attend the meet, please make sure they are marked as Attending in SwimTopia before the deadline.
!!BLACK OUT ALERT!!
Wear black and help us create a sea of Dolphin pride. Let's bring the energy, support our swimmers, and have a great time cheering on the team.
