Good luck to all of the swimmers at the NVAL Championship meet this weekend in Redding. Swim fast!
We have just completed our summer session. Our team grew so much this summer. We finished the season with over 100 swimmers (Dolphins and Masters). WOW!!!
Thank you to our amazing coaching staff that we have had this summer: Coach Cari, Coach James, Coach Jessi and Coach Mary. We appreciate all of the amazing contributions you have made to our team! As fall approaches and schools begin we will miss seeing all of our coaches everyday. We would like to wish Coach Jessi good luck as she begins preparations to go away to college at the U.C. Santa Cruz. Coach Mary will also be leaving for college in Omaha, NB again soon. Good luck to both of you and thank you for your dedication to our swimmers.
Welcome Coach Gina Schweitzer! We are happy to welcome Gina to our fall session. Gina has years of competitive swimming and has also been teaching swimming lessons at the North Valley Swim School. Welcome!!!
Next week there will be no swim team, August 4-August 8.
Dolphin Fall Session will begin on Monday, August 11th. The session will run until the end of September. When school starts we will be practicing after school with all groups starting at 3:00. This is always such a fun tradition for the kids when they start school. The cost for the entire session will be $60 per swimmer (Aug. 11 - Sept 30) There will be a few Wednesdays where we do not have the pool. These days will be scheduled in advance and Coach Cari will keep the swimmers updated!
August 25- 29 we will have a stroke clinic for the Fall session kids. Each day will focus on a different stroke. Our Coaches will work on proper stroke technique and improving each childs' competitive swimming skills.
Our end of the year swimming wrap up party will be on August 24th late afternoon. More details to follow for this celebration of all the swimmers accomplishments. At this gathering we will also be voting for new DASA swim board members. If you are interested in getting more involved, consider putting your name in for the board. The board meets monthly and helps set the coarse of the team for the season. The nomination papers will be in your team folder on the 11th .
Team Photos will be here next week. Photos will be in the family folders on the 11th. Thank you to Teri DuBose for doing such a beautiful job on these memories.
Thank you for everything each of you has done to make this one of the best Durham Dolphin seasons ever!!.
