Dolphin Update: July 2, 2024

Before I get to the necessary details, I want to first remind all that if you are ever looking for team information, it can be found on the website! www.spotswooddolphins.com


All of the weekly updates can be found by clicking on "news and updates." In our digital world, we all ask the question sometimes... "I know I read that somewhere, but I cannot recall if it was an email, a text, a blog..." The website is meant to be a place where the team information is congregated in one place. If it is not working effectively to that point, then please let me know and bring any helpful suggestions as how we can enhance your team experience.


Our third meet is tonight! This will be our final away meet (save for champs at JMU). We will compete against, ERRA - which is also the largest team in the Valley Swim League (VSL). Details for this meet:


  1. SWIM MEET TONIGHT:

    1. ERRA address is 1250 Barracuda Drive.

    2. Parking is ample, but with their large team the spaces fill up and so many must park around the drive. Do leave a bit of time to get inside the pool gates and set up so that your swimmer is ready for the 5:25PM warm up time.

    3. Part of that setup will be having swimmer numbers and events written on your swimmer's arm(s).

    4. The lineup has been set, and you can find it in your remind app links or on swimmingly fan.

    5. ERRA is the host team, and will have concessions for sale including tropical smoothie. They will have a couple of small smoothie choices and some sandwiches.

    6. Volunteers: please use the signup genius to fill the needed roles! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508094EAFA623A6FC1-42971365-meet

    7. I will be arriving late (around 5:45PM). If you need any help, please ask your coaches.

  2. Calendar CHANGES: please make the following changes on your swim calendar:

    1. Due to the holiday, there is no practice on July 4th. We also know that we have MANY swimmers out of town, and will plan to have NO PRACTICE on Friday July 5th as well. Please enjoy the holiday!

    2. Tuesday July 23 will be our swim-a-thon and pizza party!

    3. Wednesday July 24th: pre-champs practice JMU Godwin Hall 7-8PM

    4. Thursday July 25th: will be our end of season celebration (details to come)

    5. Saturday July 27th: VSL champs at Godwin Hall. (no change here, just a reminder).

  3. Champs details: heat sheet ads are due on July 12. If you are interested in purchasing an ad for your child, or for your business please let me know. If you need help creating one, I can also assist. Every swim family gets a heat sheet booklet (which costs the team $6). I have many leftover from past years, so this year I plan to align with the policies of other teams and order for only those who will be present at champs, unless otherwise requested. Ad sales are of benefit to our team, as the income from each sale goes directly to our team. Quarter page ad: $25, Half page: $50; Full page: $100. I will have an example heat sheet booklet at the pool for your perusal!

  4. With the holiday taking up a long weekend, next week's meet will come quickly! Please make sure to sign out your swimmers for the meets on the 9th and 16th.

  5. GO DOLPHINS!
