Dolphin Update: Dual Meet Wrap Up & Tentative 2027 Meet Schedule

Greetings, Dolphins!

While it was unfortunate to have to call our final dual meet early, it was absolutely the right call given the severity of the storms moving through the area. Safety always comes first, and I am grateful for the good fortune of having just completed Event 31 when lightning struck during our meet at Massanutten. Congratulations on the win, as well.

Even if you are unable to attend Champs, please don't check out of team communications yet! There will be forthcoming information on Tuesday's Season Wrap Up Party as well as an end of season survey that will help our leadership create the best future Dolphin experience. As far as meets are concerned, please be aware:

1) 2026 Dual Meets are now complete:

a) RESULTS: remain on the SwimminglyFan app.

b) RIBBONS: all swimmers should have received ribbons for any and all events he/she participated in this season (except in cases of DQ). Coaches distribute these during practices. Please let me know if your swimmer is missing any.

2) Champs information was sent earlier this week. IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DCLARED YOUR SWIMMER PLEASE DO SO TODAY BY 8PM. If you are having trouble logging into swimmingly, please contact the coaches to confirm your attendance status.
