I just wanted to confirm....there will be no practice in the AM. I did tell the swimmers that it probably would be cancelled due to the weather so I just wanted to confirm that I have spoke with Dave and we have decided to cancel.
See everyone on Friday or Saturday!

Volunteer Program
Hi Parents:
I wanted to clarify that the SDSC will continue to offer our volunteer incentive program once again this year. This program is designed to encourage parent participation in the many tasks and events that take place throughout the year. The only change from last year's program is that we have reduced the number of free memberships to two (due to anticipated fiscal realities)
For new parents, this is a ballot system - for example, if you volunteer to time at a meet - you receive a certain number of ballots to win a free membership.
I will send complete details, including the contact info to send your volunteer activities as well as a copy of the chart with corresponding ballet rewards to each family by email.
Thanks everyone,
Tanya

Practice Today (Regional 4:00-6:00)
Hello Parents,
I just wanted to let you know that I will not be travelling to Summerside due to the weather. It has started to snow here in Charlottetown and is predicted to snow at times heavy this afternoon/evening. I have sent a practice to Lori and she is going to get the practice started. I have shortened the workout a bit so they can be picked up around 5:30.
Just a reminder...no practice for the Tri-Team members tomorrow AM. Also, check the blog in the AM to make sure the Dolphins practice is still on for the non Tri-Team members...calling for 25cm this evening/overnight.

Parent Opportunity
PARENT EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY
JANUARY 26th
6:30-7:30pm
Credit Union Place
LANCE CANSDALE, SWIM CANADA OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
ALL DOLPHIN PARENTS INVITED
The SDSC Executive and Head Coach Tracy Stevenson would like to invite the entire parent body of the SDSC to an important educational opportunity. We strongly encourage every parent to attend to become more familiar with where your swimmer is as an athlete and where they are going when it comes to their long term development as a swimmer.
LANCE CANSDALE (BSc., MSc.) - DOMESTIC OPERATIONS DIRECTOR for Swimming Canada
Lance Cansdale has been involved with swimming in many capacities for over 20 years as a nationally ranked swimmer, a successful national level coach and a successful swim administrator in both Canada and the United States. He comes to Swim PEI as the Domestic Operations Director for Swimming Canada. Previously we knew him as the Halifax Trojans Head Coach and the Swim Nova Scotia Provincial Head Coach.
A key focus of SWIM CANADA (SNC) is the implementation of a Long Term Athletic Development Strategy and this will be the focus of Lance's meeting with parents in both Summerside and Charlottetown. This will provide you with an excellent opportunity to understand the aspects of your child's training as they progress from new to experienced swimmer. This will be a very useful seminar with time for questions as well. Again I would like to encourage parents to attend and learn more about why, in swimming, we do the things we do.

Dolphins Rock!
WOW! What an amazing weekend!
First, I would like to thank everyone for attending our Pep Rally on Friday night. It was great to see all the creative posters, hear the "cheer off" and learn about how important healthy eating is during training and meets. LOVED meeting our Jr. Dolphins - hope you guys had fun!
Also, a great day of swimming during our development meet today. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! It started off a bit rocky as this was our first meet without J Hammer as meet manager, but you stepped up and helped in so many ways :) A special thanks to John Bowser, Swim PEI and the Charlottetown Bluefin parents for your ongoing support as well.
Next week the Tri Meet will be held at the CUP on Sunday. It is a short meet (10 - 1:30) so if you would like to volunteer - please let me know, OR, simply come on out to cheer on Team PEI!
Thanks everyone,
Tanya
