The Dolphin Week at a Glance e-Bulletin provides all the information you need to know, some reminders, and where to find additional information. Please remember to log-on to the website to view all the content.

THIS WEEK'S MEET

This week we will be at home hosting the Ridgewood Barracudas. They're a fun team and have been at our pool many times. They have been part of the PWSL since 1974. Their website is at Home - Ridgewood Barracudas

Please remember to have your meet declarations in by 8:00 on Sunday night. This is the deadline each Sunday for the meet that Saturday.

Since we are at home this Saturday, we need our volunteer clean-up team. Each family volunteers for one clean-up for a home meet. We started this last year, and it worked well and with all the help. We turned the pool back over to the HOA in record time. Sign up for clean-up crew on the meet volunteer pages.

Nothing Bundt Cakes will be at the Ridgewood meet this Saturday selling buntletts by the clubhouse.

NOTES FROM COACH WENDY

Coach Wendy sends out a weekly email to brief everyone on how the meet went, and information for the upcoming Saturday meet. Please make sure you watch for her email to read this important information.

STUFF YOU NEED TO KNOW

This week, morning practices start on Friday, June 13th. Remember there are no practices on Friday nights.

Swimmer T-shirts and Spirt Wear are in. Please look for them at practice this week and pick up your gear. Also, custom name caps are in. Stop by and grab yours if you didn't get them this past weekend. We are making plans to open the Spirit Wear store again. Watch for news on that.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS and INFORMATION

Please read your emails! There is a lot of important information and communication about upcoming events, meets and team needs.

Meet Volunteers-when you arrive at the pool, please make sure you check in at the Welcome Tent and let our Volunteer Coordinator Michelle know you are there. Also, you must be on time for your position at the start of the meet and shift changes.

Make sure when you come to practice, to first check in at the Lifeguard station. HOA members and Non-Resident pool members should scan passes. If you are not a pool member, let them know you are with swim team. If you are not members, your swimmers cannot use the pool when they are not practicing. If you know an HOA pool member, see if they could sign them in as guests.

When you arrive to a meet, please stop by the Welcome Tent and let Michelle, our Volunteer Coordinator know you are there. Be prepared to attend briefing meetings and be at your post before the first splash. Meets will be delayed if you're not at your post at the start of the meet or at shift change. Sometimes the designated shift time slot runs a little late, please be patient as the meet timeline can shift to accommodate meet needs to fix an issue.

FUN STUFF

This Wednesday, June 11th is Team Picture Day starting at 5:30. Please arrive at the pool by 5:15, in your team suit, looking dry and picture perfect! ALL swimmers are included, Mini Dolphins too. There will also be a Food Truck at the pool, so make plans to get some dinner as well. We expect the parking lot to offer limited parking, so be prepared to park on a neighborhood street. DO NOT park in a bike lane. MCPD will issue tickets for that.

Friday, June 13th is our first Pep Rally of the season. Let’s hula on over to the luau! Please join us for our first pep rally of the season - Hawaiian style! RSVP and sign up to contribute a food item or be an "event staff" person. Let's make this a fantastic event! Bring your lawn chairs and your team spirit!
