First Meet!
Hello Dolphins!
Our first meet is this coming Tuesday (6/4) at home. Please arrive by 5:00 ready to go. If you are not able to be there and have not already signed your name on the poster, please do so ASAP!
In order to run a home meet, we need many volunteers. Volunteering does not prevent you from watching your kids swim. Here is the link for volunteer sign up this season. We need lots of volunteers at home meets and a couple parents to run bullpen at away meets. If you will be at most of the meets, I encourage you to sign up for bullpen.

Roles - Responsibilities
Concessions - 1 person to organize throughout the season; 3 people to man the concession stand during the meet. Please arrive early to get set up for sales and begin cooking hot dogs. You can step out to watch your child's race since the concession stand is not in the pool!
Timing - we need 12 timers for each home meet to record times for the races. Heads up, you may be in the splash zone!
Card Runner - collect cards from timers after each race and take them to the computer.
Bull Pen - corral swimmers and give cards to swimmers before they head to the blocks for a race, older/experienced swimmers will help kids get to where they need to be after you give them the card. This role is best for parents who will be at most meets so that the person handing out cards is consistent.
Ribbons - put labels on ribbons after races and sort them by team. Dolphins ribbons are filed into a box for swimmers to collect at practice. Visiting team ribbons are sent with the coach at the end of the meet.
