Good Evening Dolphin Swim Team – Unfortunately I am off the island and could not be there at the prize giving this evening. As you see, I will go to great lengths to avoid giving speeches. Actually, I knew how much Lorrie was yearning to MC this event so I made up a fake trip. I am actually in Flanagan’s watching the Bruins – Blackhawks game. I will keep my comments brief this evening, as I know Barry would want it that way. Let me start off by saying thank you to you all for everything you do for the club. Everyone in this room in one way or another has contributed to the success of the club in the past year. Whether you coach, manage, volunteer, drive, donate, or cheer, I want to thank you. We simply cannot operate as a club without the help of everyone. All you have to do is look around at practices, meets or social events and you see Dolphins helping out and doing it without needing to be asked. Lisa Reid had a mantra when she was President of Dolphins - “For the good of the club”. I have seen so many acts done “for the good of the club” in the past year I cannot begin to mention them all or single out the individuals involved for fear of leaving anything or anyone out. I consider the DST to be like one big family – we have our moments of dysfunction but in the end we all come together for the good of club and for the good of the family. Thanks for everything you do for the Dolphin family. In addition, when I look at our swimmers at practices, meets or social events I can’t get over what a great group of swimmers we have at DST. I always see a group of swimmers with smiles on their faces that all care for and support each other. Our swimmers clearly understand what it means to be a team and I think we can all learn from their example. I hope that seeing our swimmers grow in stature, confidence and character makes all of the hard work that everyone puts into this club well worthwhile. It certainly does for me. I also want to say how excited I am for our move to the National Sports Center in September. If you have not seen the facility yet, I can assure you that you will be thoroughly impressed. The National Sports Center will be a great place for us to call home and will allow us more training time and more flexibility for our different programs. Thank you all who helped make this move happen. I think it will serve us well in the years to come. Finally, to paraphrase John F. Kennedy – “Ask not what Dolphins can do for you, but what you can do for Dolphins”. I promise you all that the more you put in to this club, the more joy you will get out of it when you watch our swimmers grow and succeed. Thank you all again and have a great night.

Happy Swimming >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OCT 15th 2012 Anyone tired after that weekend? ......What a packed schedule of great swimming and challenges, particularly for the Round the Sound organisers, who never stopped until they got it right for everyone on Sunday. They made it seem like a breeze when in fact it was the gale force winds that threatened to force a cancellation. Kudos to the great team, all volunteers, who, in spite of the challenges, ran a great event and made it all worth while to the 170 visitors to Bermuda and a huge number of Bermuda's resident swimmers. In spite of a shortened course to make it safe for the swimmers, the event was a lot of fun and great success. Well done, to all the DST volunteers who, as part of that team, helped to make it the super event it always is. The Sharks swim meet went very well too on Saturday. Everyone swam well the there were lots of PB's and very few DQ's. Congratulations all the swimmers in this event . Here is a link to the DST results .......Thanks Gretchen for all the work that goes into this so that the meet runs well :) Thanks also to all those who volunteered to help run the Sharks meet. We hope to get you and lots more volunteers involved at the next meets particularly when the DST are responsible for running it.

Very best, Lorrie Peniston DST President XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Good day, DST Families- I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer. For those of us still on island: Happy Cup Match. This morning, the BASA office sent out a link to their website directing individuals toward the 2012/2013 BASA membership form. By all means print out the BASA form and complete it. However, BASA fees are included in the DST membership dues so DST makes a single payment to BASA for our swimmers. DST has been working toward creating a new almost ‘paperless’ registration process for the upcoming year thanks to Anthony and Amy. This system is almost ready to launch and includes on-line completion. There will be only two forms that have to be printed and handed in (the BASA registration form and the DST indemnity form). We are also finalizing the figures and making arrangements for the possibility for on-line payment. So, stay tuned for the upcoming membership registration drive! Sincerely yours, Lorrie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NEXT EVENT.....

TIME STANDARDS.....A NOTE FROM COACH ELISE
Good morning Dolphin Families,
Some of you have sent me emails about getting the time standards email and time trial meet email. Here are the answers to your questions.
This time trial ONLY applies to swimmers who have a BB time in their age group.
This time trial is for swimmers trying to qualify for CARIFTA.
Swimmers who can attend this meet are as follows:
Megan Berry, Alice Branagan, Catherine Branagan, Nicholas Brando, Mikes Cave, Tate Crofts, Alex Davis, Evan Farrow, Matthew Frick, Josh Irvine, Madson Irvine, Megan Lau, Olivia Moore, Tadg O., Benedict Parfit, Christian Parfit, Gabriella Pucci, Amber Reid, and Brett Smith.
The way this works is, if you are interested in getting qualified to go to the CARIFTA games, you can try out for TWO EVENTS and you HAVE TO SWIM IN THE EVENTS YOU ALREADY HAVE A BB TIME. You CANNOT sign up for an event where you DO NOT have a BB time. Also, if you have a BB time in only one event, you can only swim THAT event.
The time trial is next Saturday, Feb. 25th. Warm up is 7 am start 8 am. Last one was done by 9:15 am.
If your child decides he or she would like to participate, we ask that one of the parent volunteers in any capacity possible.
If you are interested, please let me know. I need Name, Event, DOB of swimmer. Please let me know as soon as possible, we need to let BASA know.
Have a nice day.
Coach Elise |

All the hard work by so many people paid off and it seemed that everyone had a great time and also managed to again do some good for a Charity - The Sunshine League CHECK OUT the round the sound website for the results and photos of the day In the meantime below are some photos of our own swimmers and participants |
Message from the Black Bear
THE ALL KNOWING BLACK BEAR (Some say he is actually an Alien others say he is the son of Kung Foo Panda) has a message to the DST swimmers: "Do not be afraid of swimming the longer events at swim meets, your coaches have prepared you well. Set a goal for each event and discuss with your coach. Make sure you rest between sessions. Get your entries in for the meet on time and if you need help talk to your coach. Remember one race or meet does not a career make. Enjoy the meet or...face my wrath. I will be watching." BB Now that you are here register for the Mailboxes Unlimited Swim Meet - CLOSING WEDNESDAY at 9pm |
