Good Evening, Bluefins-

Happy Father's Day to all the Bluefin Dads! 

TIME TRIALS RECAP:  What a great day of swimming! All in all the meet went well and we got it done very quickly. Full disclosure to the new families: from here on out, the meets will run a little longer. Since it was only our team and no official DQs, we were able to move the meet along quickly. For the rest of the season be prepared with - chairs to sit in, cash for concessions (or lots of snacks), and an abundance of patience. Our two Stroke & Turn judges were able to take notes to share with the coaches so they know what they need to work on with the swimmers throughout the coming weeks. If your swimmer had a helper or was one of the last swimmers to touch the wall - don’t worry! Summer swim is all about learning and progressing. The results are attached.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS - PLEASE READ:

• On Wednesday we have our first fundraiser at Peace A Pizza (15 Mellor Ave. 21228). There will be an event posted to the pool’s Facebook page tomorrow for you to share with your FB friends - PLEASE DO! Tell all your family, friends, and neighbors that they can eat at Peace A Pizza on Wedensday, 06/21 between 3:00 and 7:00 pm and the team will get a portion of every order. Dine in or carry out, just mention the WVP Bluefins at the register when you pay. Please spread the word, this money helps with the awards and end-of-season party.
• Saturday is our first dual meet of the season. Be sure to DECLARE YOUR SWIMMER BY WEDNESDAY at 11:59 pm. We will NOT be able to add swimmers after the deadline because we must send the roster to the other team. Also, make sure to sign up for jobs. Let’s have them ALL filled before we show up to North Carroll on Saturday.
• On Friday we will have our first Potluck of the season. More information will be sent later this week.
• The only people allowed in the pool during practice are registered swimmers and coaches. Parents are not allowed into the pool to assist their swimmers due to insurance rules. Please let the coaches and helpers to work with your kiddos without distraction. If you think your child needs more one-on-one attention, there are swim and stroke & turn lessons available. Please ask Coach Lydia ([email protected]) for more information.

Have a great evening!
