Hi Bannockburn Dolphins –

It’s the final countdown, only 9-more days until our Back to Pool Event and 17-more days until our very first practice! Here’s what you need to know:

Sunday, May 15^Th @ Bannockburn Pool:

-2:30pm-3:00pm - In-Water Evaluation

-3:00pm-4:30pm - Back to Pool Event

• If your swimmer requires an in-water evaluation, please sign up HERE (2:30-3:00pm). Don't forget to bring a suit, goggles and a towel!  After your swimmer is approved, don’t forget to officially register them for either the competitive team or pre-team.
• Get in style with brand new team merchandise including t-shirts, pajama pants, sweatshirts, towels, caps, hats and bumper stickers! Please be advised, merchandise tends to sell quickly so make sure to grab the sizes you want early in the season! We will be accepting cash and credit card payments.
• Purchase our 2022 team suit directly from Sport Fair! Staff will be onsite to help you select the appropriate size for your swimmer. We highly recommend getting your swimmer fitted for a suit…cause, let’s be honest, racing in a baggy, ill-fitting suit is kinda the worst. Just a heads up, to prevent any sticker-shock - girls team suits are $70 and boys jammers are $52. Swimmers are not required to purchase or wear the team suit, but many swimmers enjoy the team camaraderie.
• Pizza will be sold at the Back to Pool Event - $2/slice (cash or credit)!

**Unfortunately, other than the in-water assessments, no one will be allowed in the pool during the Back to Pool Event. We ask that you prepare your kids for this disappointment before arriving! Feel free to bring a basketball, as the swimmers are known to gather at the basketball hoop.**

Can’t make our Back to Pool Event? No worries, just show up anytime during the first week of practice and let a coach know if your swimmer needs an in-water assessment! Merchandise can be purchased at any home swim meet, and team suits can be picked up at Sport Fair (Arlington, VA).

Updated Practice Schedule – **IMPORTANT** we have slightly modified the practice schedule. Here are the highlighted changes - pre-teamers will start practices on May 23^rd and all swimmers ages 12+ will be swimming together for the first 3-weeks, until school is out! Please refer to this updated schedule for reference:

Masters Swim Practices Coming Soon – Have you ever dreamed of reliving your glory days? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stop counting laps and swim a practice with a coach and teammates? Interested in trying butterfly or even a flip-turn (totally not necessary)? Masters is a fun way to swim in a group setting with instruction from Coach Lucca! All skill levels welcome, absolutely no pressure, practice will be held once/week during the swim team season. More information is coming soon!

Private Lessons Coming Soon - Most coaches offer private swim lessons! Lessons are for everyone…kids under 5 (not quite old enough for the pre-team), swimmers looking for personalized attention.  More information and a sign-up coming soon!  

Looking forward to seeing you all on the deck this month!
