Over the weekend, the Dolphins met the Connecticut Belair Gators for a rematch of last year’s final A-Meet. It was a tight win for NWB last season but this year the Dolphins beat the Gators by almost 100 points, with a final score of 440 to 352.

We had 126 best times, 40 All-Star Times and a handful of first time swimmers. We showed great spirit and sportsmanship, which sets the tone for a great season. Good job Dolphins! Thank you to all of our volunteers!

Our first B-Meet of the season is WEDNESDAY! The deadline to declare your swimmer is TONIGHT (6/14) at 11:30pm. Please make sure that you are also selecting events for your swimmer. Swimmers are allowed to participate in a maximum of 3 events. If they swam an event in the most recent A-Meet, they are not eligible to swim it again, unless they DQd. Coaches get the final say in what events a swimmer swims.

The theme for this meet is DISNEY. We had lots of creative costumes on Saturday. Let’s see it again!

Our first day of morning practice will be Friday. Please see the schedule above. ALL SWIMMERS SHOULD PRACTICE WITH THEIR APPROPRIATE AGE GROUP.

Start planning for the Dolphin Bakeoff! Swimmers can team up with other dolphins or work alone to create the most creative and delicious dessert. Coaches will judge the desserts and give out awards for Spirit, Creativity and Taste. Afterwards, swimmers will get to sample the desserts!

Finally, please declare your swimmer for the next A-Meet. It is on Saturday, 6/20 at Kentlands. DO NOT assume that your swimmer will not “make” the meet. Please declare your swimmer “Yes” if they are able to attend. Anyone is eligible to swim in Saturday’s meet and the lineup is impacted by swimmer’s times and availability.

Coaches will begin giving swim lessons when morning practices begin. Availability will be posted every two weeks. Please review the Swim Lessons page on Swimtopia. We will send an email later this week when lesson registration opens!

Let’s have a magical week,

Maddie, Teddy, Charlotte, Mia & Pernille
