Saturday, May 11th, Dolphin Classic

Our first meet of the year is an intrasquad, with GVST split into Green & Blue teams. This meet helps everyone get ready for upcoming meets against other teams.

Swimmer check-in begins at 7:30am. Lane-lineup volunteers should check in by 7:15am, and volunteers for most other roles should check in by 7:30. (Set-up should arrive by 6:00, and food booth by 6:45.) For check-in, look for the EZ-ups with GVST signs on the greenbelt, right outside of the pool.

We rely on volunteers to run our team and our meets. Please make sure you are aware of your volunteer jobs, (instructions are here for finding your jobs online), and arrive on time. If you have hired a teenager to work, email the teen volunteer’s name to the meet managers at [email protected], have $60 cash in an envelope with his or her name, and give the envelope to one of the meet managers. Please do not Venmo the teen worker before he or she works the shift. If you do not show up or get your job covered by a teen, there will be a $100 fine.

For those of you for whom this will be your first swim meet, here is one mother’s advice regarding getting your family ready for a swim meet. This note has helped many families over the years in preparing for their first swim meet.

Our fantastic food booth team will be selling breakfast burritos, donuts, coffee, nachos, pizza, hot dogs, drinks and more. The food booth accepts square, apple pay, and cash.

Go Dolphins!
