Hello Dolphin Families!

Ready for your first swim meet? Below is some general information and also the Meet information from the Foxridge Foxes.

TEAM GEAR: If you ordered team gear before the first deadline, we finally have the order in! (Thank you, Elyse, for picking it up!) I will have it at the pool tomorrow for pick-up at each practice.

LOST & FOUND: We do our best to pick up things left behind after practice. Whatever we pick up goes into our Lost & Found box located in the shed behind the baby pool. Feel free to check in there if you’re looking for something. Today I picked up a blue striped towel and green goggles.

DONUTS: Just a reminder, if you signed up for Friday donuts please call ahead and ask them for “kid donuts with lots of sprinkles!” They are usually happy to oblige.

For those new to the team, Friday is donut day after each practice.

MOCK MEET: Just to be sure it’s clear, we’ll be using the Starter unit at each practice. So, the 7:30am and 8:30am practices will still each be 50 minutes. (They will not be combined.)

VOLUNTEERS: We are looking good on volunteers. Thank you to everyone who has signed up already! We are still in need of:

Shift 2 – Scoring Table (need 1)

Shift 2 – Timer (need 2)

MEET DETAILS:

Arrive by: You should aim to arrive by 6:30am in order find parking, unload and find a place to set up.

Pool Address: 7070 East Mineral Avenue, Centennial, CO 80112

Our Warm-Up Time: 6:50 – 7:20

Meet Starts at: 7:30am

Team Colors: The Foxridge Foxes team colors are RED so please try not to wear red. Wearing BLUE helps us know that you are with the Dolphins.

Theme: Retro Hippie

Pool Details: They have a 6 lane, yard pool. The deep end is 11’ so it will be similar to our pool.

Parking: Please observe the no parking signs in the neighborhood. Please follow all neighborhood speed limits.

Visitor Seating Area:  The visitor section will be set up to the right (north) on the playground/lawn area.

Concessions:  Foxridge concessions will be available, cash or credit card, with plenty of pancakes, sausage, and burritos for breakfast, and hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch. There will be lots of treats, too!

Volunteer Shifts: Please listen to the ANNOUNCER for details on where to meet and at what time. There is usually a Stroke & Turn Judges Meeting and a Timers Meeting before the meet. They will also announce the shift change which is usually after Event 48.

General Meet Questions: Please use the “Meet Information” tab to find helpful info on things like general Meet Preparation (what to bring, etc), how to mark your swimmer, how to read a heating sheet (the Meet Program), how to read the individual results, how scoring works and the pool maps. There is also an “FAQs” page under the “For Parents” tab. If you still can’t find the answer, feel free to ask me or use the “Contact Us” page to find the appropriate person.

Meet Program: I will be sending out the Meet Program and Individual Entry List on Friday once I receive them from Foxridge.

PARENT NOTE: Plan on bringing at least 2 towels per swimmer and plenty of warm sweats. One of our families have these fun SLEPZON wearable blankets for their kiddos. They look warm and comfy! Just thought I’d share the info. :)

That's all for now!
