Hi Bannockburn Dolphins –

Stick with me, because this email is loaded…speaking of loaded…

Who’s carb-loading tonight? Don’t forget to join us, post-swim practice TONIGHT, @ 6:30pm for our weekly Pasta Party. Feel free to bring a glass-free entrée dish to share, side, dessert or beverage.

Wednesday night’s Blue-Out Intrasquad B-Meet was a huge success. Attached -  Please Find the Results for the Blue Out Meet. Huge thanks to our brand-new Dolphin families stepping up BIG. Specifically, our Bannockburn master’s team superstar, Mark Carroll, volunteered for our most important and rewarding volunteer opportunity - you guess it, automation. Did he crush the task? Yes he did. Also worthy of a shoutout, is our resident duck expert, Natalie Dhakhwa, who expertly passed out ducks to all heat winners! Did you see how many close calls there were!? Finally new bburn stroke and turn judge, Seyi Badmus, literally evaluated each race, could she be any more devoted? We appreciate ALL of our volunteers – you are the true MVP’s.

Congratulation to the following swimmers that made new All-Star Cuts at Blue-Out:

• Mai Lan Bui (50 Free)
• Liam Carroll (50 Fly)
• Caroline Conroy (50 Back)
• Rowan Conroy (50 Free, 50 Back)
• Henry Melia (25 Back)
• Valerie Merriam (25 Fly)
• Alex Spooner (50 Back, 50 Fly)
• David Zand (50 Free, 25 Back and 25 Breast)
• Ryan Zand (50 Free, 50 Back)
