Swim Team

This page managed by Laura Doherty and Nanette Vaughn

1000 Byrnwyck Road, Atlanta, GA 30319 404-250-1519

Thank you 2008 Sponsors - Blytheco, Galla's Pizza, Rita's and Kaplan Orthodontics!

New for 2008 - swimmers and parents must download and sign the Conduct Agreement form. The link to this form can be found in the box to the right. These must be handed in to Laura or Nanette before the first meet.

The success of swim team depends largely on parent volunteers. The team is managed by a committee headed by Laura Doherty. Laura, the committee, coaches, and the team rely on assistance from parents during practices, meets, and parties. Following are guidelines required by parents:

You must sign up for jobs at swim meets. At least 2 jobs for one child and at least one job more per each additional child.

Please be willing to pitch in when asked.

Remember to leave our pool and the pools we visit better than when you arrived!

Swim Meet Helpful Hints

 v The goal for the Blue Dolphins Swim Team is to bring the kids together and have FUN!!

v Arrive unhurried on time with a “full enough” tummy

v Bring 2 towels, maybe a water bottle and warm clothes for a cool night.

v For home meets, please walk to the pool as parking is crowded by the visiting team.

v When you arrive, go to the fence sheets (i.e. outlines what swimmers will be swimming in what events).  Write on your child’s hand in Sharpie :  EVENT NUMBER/ HEAT/ LANE/ STROKE   for example (1/A/3/Back)

v The team will be called for warm up and should stay together in their designated area in the bullpen.

v While there are many volunteers, please help by making sure your child is ready for their event.

v Before you leave the meet, please check with the coach to make sure that your child has not been added to a later event due to a cancellation.

v Clean up after yourselves!

v Cheer, cheer, cheer for all swimmers!! These kids try very hard and love our support.

Thanks!
