Coaches Corner

 

 

 

In an effort to increase my efforts in communicating team events, activities, and new policies I am now introducing a new way to receive team information.  I will do my best to regularly send out an email with updates and announcements.  The best way to stay informed is still to constantly and consistently check our website dalycitydolphins.org.  If you would like to voice your opinions so the board and I can properly make decisions on the future of the team please attend our monthly board meetings. Thank you all for your feedback so that we can continue the growth and success of the Dolphins.

Zone 1 North Championship Meet

This Saturday and Sunday (1/23- 1/24)

 

  Zone 1 North Championship meet was this past weekend.  It was a big success.  I’m sure most of you have already seen the trophy on the deck, but if you haven’t we won 1st place in our division!!!

It was a very impressive win with second place two hundred points behind DCD.
Joelene Latief, Chris Lee, and Yanni Velasquez dominated their age group and were invited to represent Zone 1 North at the All-Star meet.

Thank you to all the parents and swimmers who braved the harsh weather to attend the meet.  Without your enthusiasm and sacrifice we would not have done nearly as well.

 

Equipment Bags

 

Today Wednesday the 27th is the last day to hand in your order forms!!!

 

FAQ

 

Do I have to order the bag or can I use my own?

   As long as it holds all of the equipment and has the swimmers name on it I don’t have a preference on a bag. You can use your own.

 

What if I have my own equipment?

  If you would like to replace some items on the order form with something you already have please bring it to the pool before the order deadline so that I can approve its training value.

 

What if I don’t buy the equipment?

  The equipment I specified has very specific training and teaching qualities to better your swimmer.  If you do not purchase the equipment your swimmer will not have the training tools necessary to participate with their group.  Anytime a piece of equipment is used that your swimmer does not have they will not be able to participate during that portion of practice.

 

Does my swimmer have to bring their equipment to practice every day?

  Yes! Their equipment should be valued as important as their swimsuit.  Your child will not be able to participate in portions of their practice if they do not have the required equipment and will have to wait on the wall until that piece of equipment is no longer being used.

 

 

Winter Schedule

 

Remember the winter schedule starts February 1st.  Please be sure to check Team Unify for the new schedule.

 

 

 

Fundraising

 

          When the new pool is completed and the Dolphins move next door it will not come cheap.  We will have a much larger bill to accompany a much larger training facility.  If you would like to keep our dues reasonable we need to increase our efforts in fundraising.  Please let me know if you have any ideas to help DCD raise money.  Also, we need help coordinating these fundraisers.  It is always the same three volunteers in charge of fundraising. They need help and your support.
