Hello Dolphins Families,

Get ready to bring the fun and team spirit — our Flipper Frenzy Relay Meet is officially back on and will take place next Thursday (10/16) in place of practice!

No need for additional sign-ups — we’ll use the entries we already have. Since the meet date has changed, if your swimmer wasn’t originally signed up but would like to join in on the fun, please let us know so we can add them. 

Swimmers arrive at 5:30 PM, they’ll get to choose up to 3 relays to participate in, so if your swimmer is in the White or Red group, please make sure they arrive by 5:30 to sign up.

Swimmers in the Blue group are welcome to stay and join the relays, or if they’d like to participate in just one and finish after their regular 30-minute practice time.

We’ll have one heat per relay (up to 6 teams per event), and we’ll move through as many as we can — it’s going to be fast-paced and full of laughter!

🌦 Weather Reminder: It looks like it may be cool, so please have your swimmer come prepared — pack a parka or something cozy to stay warm between races.

• 200 Medley Relay
• 100 Sweatshirt Relay
• 100 Underwater Relay
• 100 Exercise Relay (do an exercise at each end)
• 200 Noodle Relay
• 200 Free Relay (no dive, cannonball)
• 100 Ping Pong Relay (ball between feet)
• 200 Animal Relay (each swimmer = different animal stroke)
• 100 Waiter Relay (carry a baby pumpkin on a kickboard)
• Ladder Relay (25–50–75–100 distances)
• 100 Friendship Relay (high-five mid-pool)
• 100 Mystery Relay (revealed on deck)

This will be a fun, low-stress, high-energy night full of team spirit, laughter, and great memories — exactly what being a Dolphin is all about.

We can’t wait to see everyone next Thursday for the Flipper Frenzy Relay Meet!
