Durham v Gridley Dual - Trying something new!

Good afternoon!

Based on feed back, we are using a different format for the Dual on Wednesday, June 12.  The events will go from youngest to oldest.  Keep in mind it will still take time to get through all the events but the littles will go first in each stroke set.

As usual, we will have relays first, but youngest to oldest. 

The first individual event will be an assisted 25 Freestyle for 6 and under and Event 28A will be assisted 25 Backstroke for 6 and under.  These events will be for kids that need help to make it all the way across the pool. As with all events, the coaches will assign the swimmers, but the exciting news is that we can even have Mini Dolphins participate in these two events. 

We are also going to have an event/heat sign out for display to help everyone track where we are as far as the events go. It is black with big orange numbers, so it is highly visible.

And, we now have a bull horn as you probably noticed Coach Zinnia using it last night at the Dash.  It helps tremendously for announcements!

Please remember to sign up for the dual either online or at the pool by 10:00am on Wednesday, June 12, so our coaches can place swimmers in the appropriate events and heats.

We will set up at 5:00pm.  Coach directed warm ups at 5:30pm.  Dual starts at 6:00pm.

Striped group will practice in the morning of the Dual as usual from 8:00am - 9:30am. However, all other groups including Minis will not have sessions on Wednesday, June 12 because of the Dual.

We hope these changes will make the Dual even more fun for everyone!  

Thank you and have a great evening!
