Hello Everyone,
Well we are three sleeps away from Provincials. The events are picked and the swimmers are working hard at perfecting their race strategies. The Dolphins Swim Club will have 42 swimmers participating this weekend. The coaches are thrilled with the amount of swimmers participating and hopefully next year we can have the entire team participate as this is one of the most exciting events for swimming on PEI!
On Friday, May 02, 2008, we are going to have a team building event for our swimmers at the pool from 4:15-5:30. For the first 45 minutes we are going to make posters to hang up around the pool deck. Our Club is going to provide the Bristol board but we are asking the swimmers to bring their own markers, pencil crayons, crayons, stickers, etc. to decorate the posters. No glitter glue please!! We have to keep the pool deck clean for the swim meet the next day. Following the poster decorating, we are going to practice our team cheers. The swimmers won't be getting into the pool so they do not need to bring their bathing suits. Street clothing is fine but just make sure they pack sandals or other footwear to wear on the pool deck.
Just a reminder, on Saturday and Sunday morning the warm-up starts at 8:00 AM. Please have your swimmer on the pool deck, ready for warm-up by 7:55 AM. Also, please make sure your swimmer brings their team clothing to wear on the pool deck and team cap to wear when racing. If your swimmer does not have a cap, they can be purchased from one of the coaches for $6.00.
That's all for now....hope to see all of you on the pool deck this weekend. Don' t forget your poms poms!!
Coach Tracy
