Hi Dolphins Family, 

We have a lot of exciting updates as we head into summer. Please read through carefully so you don't miss any important dates. 

Upcoming Events

• Mock Meet - May 6th (During Regular Practice Times)
  • Each swimmer will have the chance to race (with unofficial times recorded) on Wednesday. We will have two parent relay opportunities at 6:55 pm (Flippers) and 7:15 pm (Fins). Parents, bring your suits and be ready to jump in! 
• No Practice on May 10th - Happy Mother's Day! 
• Pizza Party - May 13th (6:00 - 7:00 PM)
  • We’re celebrating the season with a team pizza party. The YMCA will provide pizza and drinks, and families are invited to bring sides or desserts to share (no glass containers)! This will take the place of our final practice of the season, and all swimmers are welcome. We will have a mini practice, about 20 minutes of swimming, in the outdoor pool before dinner. Dolphins swimmers WILL be able to go down the brand new slide! Families are invited to celebrate, but only Donelson Dolphin's swim team members will be allowed in the outdoor pool. 
  • If your swimmer has any food allergies, please reach out to Kaleighanna [[email protected]] with alternative suggestions so we can make sure everyone is included.

Summer Practices

• We will condense practices to one group that will swim from 6:30 pm to 7:30 on Monday/Wednesdays and 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm on Sundays. 

Registration Updates

• Registration will close 2 days before the start of each new month’s practice.
• Each group is capped at 25 swimmers.
• Once registration closes (or cap is met), we will not be able to accommodate additional swimmers.Any remaining spots will be offered to swimmers on the waitlist.

If your swimmer is taking the summer off or swimming with a summer league team, please note:

• August registration is already open and will close 2 days before practices begin.
• Our first August practice will be August 16, starting later than usual due to pool deck construction. August and September registration will be combined.
