Hello Diamondbacks!

Our last HOME meet (and Poster Contest) of the season is Thursday, June 22d against Pinewalk.  Let's all start doing our rain stay away dance!  Please check your email through out the day Thursday.  IF a change has to be made due to the weather (either delaying the start of the meet or canceling) I will be informing everyone via email (please do not text me inquiring on the status of the meet).  Please have your swimmer(s) at the pool ready to swim at 4:00pm.  Don't forget towels, goggles, chairs, sharpies and plenty of cash (concessions needs to sell out!)!!!  Also, the coaches will be awarding swimmers who beat their personal best times with beads so encourage your swimmer(s) to try their best!

Let's make our last home meet of 2017 awesome!!!

Poster Contest!  We will be having a poster contest for our final home meet as well.  Swimmers are asked to make a poster to be hung up around the pool for our meet.  Swimmers may bring their posters to practice on Thursday (or bring it to the meet with them).  There were will be awards (such as "Best Diamondback", "Most Colorful", etc.)!  Swimmers may also work with a partner if they want but we ask that no more than two swimmers per poster.  And please make sure your swimmer includes their name and age on the back of their poster.  (The poster contest is not mandatory but it does look really cool when we can cover the interior of the pool fence with our posters - also prevents other teams from hanging their own signs....)  :)

Congratulations to our Swimmers of the Week:

6 & Under's:  Piper Williams and Luke Perez

7 & 8's:  Caylee Hooker and Ian Russell

9 & 10's:  Regin Hendrickson and Jason Fain

11 & Up's:  Mary-Grace Durham and Brayden Chrismon

Banquet!  Our team banquet is this Wednesday, June 28th at the pool.  We need some volunteers to help with cutting watermelon ahead of time and for helping serve food!  Please!!!!  If you can help out, please email our Social Chair, Tam Ahmed ([email protected]).

Championships!  The 2017 ASA Divisional Meet is Friday, June 30th from 3:00pm to 6:30pm (approximately).  RSVPs for this event are due tomorrow, Wednesday, June 21st at 10pm.  This meet is held at Georgia Tech's aquatic center in the same pool that the 1996 Olympics were held.  It is an awesome opportunity for our swimmers!  On our website there is a tab for "ASA Championship Meet FAQ" that should answer any questions.  But feel free to email me with any as well ([email protected]).  If you would like your swimmer(s) to swim in this meet please go on our website and RSVP prior to Wednesday, the 21st.  RSVPs must be submitted on time, there will be NO opportunity for late entries.  When you RSVP, in the comments section (below where you mark "yes" or "no") please type in what two events your swimmer would like to swim (swimmers get to choose their events for this meet but the coaches are happy to offer recommendations if you would like to speak with them).  If you want to try out for this swimmers must attend ASA Divisionals and you MUST note this in the comments section of your rsvp.  You will also need to submit a $20 fee per swimmer for this meet.  Please either give checks to me or put in my mailbox (300 Leycroft Court), payable to Dunmoor Swim Team.  Attached are the swimmers (and events) that I have received thus far.
