Chaperones needed for bus to Moncton
Hello everyone,
We are looking for 4 or 5 parents to act as chaperones on the bus to Moncton this Saturday. The cost is $25 per seat, which is a great deal for a trip to moncton. This is on a first come, first serve basis. Please email me at jhammer@kennet.pe.ca or Tracy at tracyguimond@summersidedolphins.ca It is important we have at least four parents to help the coaches with the trip. Details about the bus trip are on the website with final details being posted shortly.
The bus idea is coming along great. We think this will be a great team building exercise for the kids. The t-shirts are in and it should be a great meet.
Please get back to me asap.
Thanks
J.

Moncton Swim Meet
First of all I would like to begin by saying...AWESOME JOB to our Dolphins swimmers that participated in the meet this past weekend! What a great way to kick off the season!
Our next meet is almost here already so I wanted to get all the information out to the parents ASAP. As most of you have already heard we are planning for the ENTIRE team to travel to Moncton for the CNBO Development Meet. This event is going to be a "team building" event for the Dolphin Swim Club. Arrangements have been made for the swimmers to take a team bus over to Moncton for the meet. We are encouraging all swimmers that plan on attending the meet to take the bus. Coaches have planned a few activities, some team cheers, etc. It will be a great opportunity for all of our swimmers to get to know one another and spend some time gelling as a team!
Here are the meet details...
Date: Saturday, November 3, 2007
Location: Universite de Moncton, CEPS
Meet Warm-Up: 10:00 AM (10:50 start time)
Meet/Bus Fee: $45.00 (this will cover the cost for the bus and the entry fee for the meet). Fees need to be paid by Monday, October 29, 2007.
Entry Deadline: Thursday, October 25, 07
Our team managers will be contacting you this week to find out if your swimmer(s) will be attending the meet.
Parents....I know most of you are going to want to go on the bus because it sounds like a whole lot of fun! Unfortunately this is just for the swimmers. If you plan on going, let the team manager know when they call. If possible, we will try to arrange a car pool for parents to cut down on expenses. We are encouraging parents to attend the meet, after all we do need some cheerleaders :o)!
If you require additional information about this event, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be posting more information as we get closer to the event so please check the blog daily.
See you on the deck!

Fantastic first meet
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to take the time to congratulate everyone on a fantastic first meet!! It was wonderful to see so many of our dolphin swimmers take part. Swimmers of all ages swam their hearts out and had fun doing so. I hope this is the start of a wonderful swim year and encourage everyone to continue to work hard and enjoy the year.
On another note, a reminder to check the site next week for details on our Halloween fun event and information regarding team transportation for the Moncton meet on November 3rd.

Timers are Required
Hello Everyone,
For those parents that would like to time during Saturday's Meet (best seat in the house). Please email Elaine Cormier (djcormier@pei.sympatico.ca)from the Charlottetown Bluephins swim club and let her know you are interested. For those people who might be a little leery, please read Elaine's mail below and you can see she wont bite. Please keep in mind Timing is a great way to learn about swimming and with the electronic timing systems that both Charlottetown and Summerside have, all you really do is hit a button.
see you at the meet!
Marya Carr and I are in charge of arranging officials for the meet and I wondered if you might know how many and who among your parent group will be attending? I need about five more timers and then we will be all set. If some of your parents are looking to gain some experience in other areas, we'd be happy to arrange that as well.

ATTENTION: CHANGE IN MEET TIME FOR THIS WEEKEND
Hello Everyone,
There has been a change in warm-up/start time for the meet this weekend. It seems the CARI pool has been double booked for the morning. The meet warm-up will now begin at 2:00 PM for a 2:45 PM start time. The meet should be done around 7:00 PM.
Our Dolphin swimmers are already registered so if your swimmer(s) can no longer attend because of the change in time please e-mail me ASAP (tracyguimond@summersidedolphins.ca). If the time is fine for you and your swimmer(s)...I will see you Saturday!
Sorry for any inconvenience...this doesn't normally happen!

Charlottetown Development Meet
Hello Swimmers and Parents!
I hope everyone is finally settled into their training groups. I know it was a little crazy trying to ensure that the new swimmers were placed in their appropriate groups. I think we are finally settled!
The first swim meet of the year has quickly snuck up on us. This meet is open to ALL Dolphins swimmers regardless of age and skill level.
Here are the meet details...
Date: Saturday, October 20, 2007
Location: CARI Pool, Charlottetown
Warm-Up: 8:00 AM (with a 9:00 start time)
Events: Each swimmer can swim up to a maximum of 3 events and 1 relay. Events will be picked by the swimmers Coach.
Meet Fees: $20.00/swimmer (flat rate). Cheques can be made payable to the Summerside
Dolphins Swim Club.
Entry Deadline: October 14, 2007
Our Club does have a few policies for swim meets. Please read below...
1. Parents or swimmer must confirm their swimmers participation with either myself or their coach PRIOR to the meet entry deadline. Entries cannot be made after the entry deadline.
2. Once a swimmer has been entered into the meet, they are required to pay the meet fees regardless if they attend the meet or not. The reason for this is because once entries are submitted to the meet manager, the host Club will charge the Dolphins for those meets fees regardless if the swimmer is there or not.
3. We encourage Dolphins swimmers to wear Dolphins clothing and bathing caps. For those of you that are new, you will be receiving your free t-shirt and cap shortly.
4. Swimmers must arrive on time for warm-up. If your swimmer is not there on time, I will have to scratch (remove) your swimmer from the meet as per the SNC/SWIM PEI rules.
5. All swimmers are expected to stay for the entire meet (even if they are finished swimming) to cheer on their team mates. If your swimmer has to leave early, please notify me in advance.
For swimmers and parents that are new to competitive swimming, there is a great information document posted on this website titled "Swim Meet Advice for Parents". If this document does not answer all your questions that you might be have, please do not hesitate to contact either myself or your swimmer's coach.
A swim meet is a very fun and exciting event for swimmers and at the same time is a great learning opportunity. Meets provide an opportunity for swimmers to apply the skills that they learned in practice. For those that have never experienced a swim meet....come watch! There is no other sport competition like it. The cheering in excitement in the air will be unlike anything you have ever seen!
If any of you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to contact me. We want to ensure everyone is enjoying being part of the Dolphins Family!
I hope to see all of you at the meet!
