Hello Diamondbacks,

Great news, in case you haven't noticed, the pool cover is off!  It is almost time to begin our season and we couldn't be more excited.  Our returning coaching staff includes: Head Coach Trey, Coach Tory, Coach JP.  We added Coach Cassidy, who assisted us last year, and Coach John Durham, who has swam with us for 13 seasons.  Wirth Federico will also be assisting us.  We have plenty of talent and experience in the coaching department once again this year.  Let's Go Diamondbacks!!

Afternoon swim team practice starts next Tuesday, May 5th! The coaches initially will be doing dry land practices in the pool parking lot and as soon as the pool is ready, they'll get the swimmers in the pool. Below are the practice times for each age group and what to bring to practice. Please remember that it is very important to wear closed toe shoes to practice. The coaches will do running activities during dry lands practices and we want to prevent any stubbed toes!

Volunteer status:  Thank you to those of you that have already offered to help where it is needed.  In that same note, I still need a few more people to step up and lead concessions for at least 2 home meets.  If your children enjoy Fun Thursday and Fun Friday Donuts, maybe you would like to step up and organize those.  It take a village to run a swim team!!  My position is still open as well.  It will make for a much easier transition if someone would like to shadow this season and take over next season.  

 For more information about swim team and the 2015 schedule, go to www.dunmoor.swim-team.us.  We will see you all next week.
