Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight! The kids looked like they had so much fun playing together and it was so nice to talk to so many parents in person. I hope we answered your questions you may have had tonight. Please let us know if you think of something else. 

Attached is our Big-Fish Little Fish assignments. Please let me know if you see a mistake or if I have missed someone. 

Having a Little Fish or being a Big Fish is a special job on the swim team. Please help/remind your child to make a sign, bracelet, buy a little something from the dollar store, etc to let them know you are thinking of them on the day of the meet. Some kids like to give a little treat, a homemade bracelet/gift, or a letter of encouragement. It doesn't have to be big and it doesn't have to be store bought. Remind them to find their buddy before the meet to tell them good luck and to help be that special person cheering them on during the meets! If you will miss a meet, please let your partner know in advance if you can. We hope this program helps bring swimmers closer and feel more a part of the Diamondback family! 

Tomorrow, I will send out a link with volunteer job descriptions so you can familiarize yourself with a volunteer job- don't be afraid to ask about a job. We have all been there!

I will send out more details for the meet later, but a couple of important times you should know and plan for are:

Find parking along the road side- there is no parking in either lot by the pool or tennis court. That is where our bullpens will be as well as King of Pops. You will see 3 spots saved- that is for our official and the coaches from the other team. The upper courts are for tennis players only. These are important to keep open for people who have matches and lessons during swim team time. 

4:15- get your child to the pool. Make sure their arm is marked after finding their events in the swimtopia app. Swimmers will check in with coaches

4:30-5:00- all Diamondback swimmers will check with a coach and get in a lane to warm up. 

5:00-5:30 Oxford Mill swimmers warm-up

5:30- TBD Swim Meet (We usually end by 8 pm if things are running smoothly)

Fun Fridays- 5:00-6:00 pm- come get your ribbons from the meet and enjoy some free play time with friends. Please see the sign-up that Deborah sent out for bringing treats. If you are not a Dunmoor member, we ask that you please leave when Fun Friday is over so our neighborhood families can also come enjoy the pool.
