Dear Dolphins,

Time Trials will be held next week on Tuesday, May 30th. The purpose of this exercise is to capture the swimmer’s race times for the first meet and to give our meet officials an opportunity to run through a practice meet.

By now you all should have downloaded the Free Swimtopia mobile app. Login using your email and password that you set up when you registered your swimmer and please declare whether or not your swimmer(s) will be attending time trials.

We need EVERY parent to please DECLARE by 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 27th.

A pdf of step by step instructions for how to declare attendance are included at the bottom of this email.

*Kara Bemis will be sending a separate email with information regarding volunteer sign ups. Once you receive her email, please sign up for a volunteer shift. We need all the volunteer positions filled so that time trials run smoothly for all of our swimmers.

TIME TRIALS INFORMATION

All swimmers need to arrive ON TIME at 5 p.m. and be ready to warm-up right away. 5/6 age group will be dismissed between 6:30-7 p.m. and all other ages between 8-8:30 p.m.

Each age group will first swim free and back. Once backstroke is finished, the 5/6 year olds are free to leave. The other age groups will need to stay and swim breast and fly. 9 & ups will also swim IM (time permitting).

To make dinner planning easy on parents, pepperoni and cheese pizza will be available for purchase. Please bring cash – $1/slice and $1/bottled water. Parents are welcome to buy and eat pizza too.

Swimmers are not required to stay past 8:30 p.m. If we are not finished, the coaches will resume capturing times on Wednesday during regular practice times.

If your swimmer is not attending time trials on Tuesday, it is ok. We will capture their times the next time they attend practice.

If you have any questions, please come talk with me at practices on Thursday or Friday this week.

Thank you and Go Dolphins!
