Dickinson Dolphin Swim Team

Thank you, Dolphin families, for braving the heat and showing up to sell 50/50 raffle tickets! This was a fantastic turnout, and we appreciate you and every Big Stick fan who purchased tickets. The Dolphins went home with a little extra, thanks to our winning ticket holder donating their winnings back to the club. Dickinson is such a generous community, and we can't thank you enough for your support!

🎶Take me out to ball game!🎶 The June 7th Big Sticks game is coming up! DDST has been given the opportunity to sell 50/50 raffle tickets while enjoying America's favorite pastime. Please come to the ballpark gate by 3:30PM so we can assure free admission for the swimmer(s) and parents who will be volunteering. Later than that time we cannot ensure free admission. We will meet at the DDST table that will be set up for a pregame meeting to go over expectations. We would like everyone to wear DDST T Shirts and other apparel to show our team spirit! This event is super fun and enjoyable and I cannot wait to see our swimmers involved! So come on out and enjoy some peanuts and Cracker Jacks while we cheer on the Big Sticks!

If your swimmer is participating in Long Course be sure to sign up on Commit Swimming “Jobs” page to get credit for your time. Families of Long Course swimmers Flippers and above are to volunteer for one summer Dib opportunity.

A message from the President:

Hello Swim Families!

I am sending out this note to let you know our new timing equipment and scoreboard are installed. If you haven't been by the pool recently, I encourage you to stop in and take a look. A special thank you to Dan Porter and DYAI for the generous contribution to the Dolphins.

Long Course season is just on the horizon (June 1 start date), so hopefully those of you who plan to swim this summer are registered and ready to go! Coach Lexi has been working behind the scenes to get her vision for the future of the Dolphins clear and defined; some swimmers may be moving to different groups after evaluations (taking place the first 1-2 weeks of LC practice) in order to better align with her standards and expectations. All of this will be for the long-term health of the club, so please be patient through this time of transition, and as always, reach out with questions or concerns as soon as you have them.

As we kick off the Long Course season with our first practice on June 1, we are asking parents to attend a short meeting at 10 AM in the Lap Pool. This time will allow Coach Lexi to meet and connect with parents of Flippers through Senior Nationals to discuss groups, meets, DIBS, and answer questions. Parents of Pre-Minnows and Minnows you are not required to attend this meeting.

Information regarding DIBs requirements will go out to registered families soon, but our major summer volunteer opportunities include DDST Night at the Big Sticks game (June 7 @ 3:30) and Rodeo Volunteering at the Rough Rider events June 26, 27, and 28. Even if you are not swimming Long Course or you are a parent of a Pre-Minnow or Minnow, we encourage you to attend these events if you want to... you get free admission and get to support the Dolphins with some public relations and recruiting while having fun with your DDST family! Please put these dates on your calendars and attend if you are available... the more, the merrier!

Lastly, we are looking to hire new coaches, so if you or someone you know is interested, reach out to the club asap. We would love to see this club continue to grow and flourish, but we cannot do it without a strong and energetic staff working behind the scenes.

Happy Swimming!
