Blue Fins Updates and Reminders! (Week of June 8)

June 8th

Good evening, Blue Fins!

Firstly, a huge congrats and compliment to this amazing team! On Saturday we welcomed the new Chaparral team and we received many compliments from them about our swimmers' skills, and the welcoming, fun, and laid-back atmosphere. Way to go!!

Here is important information and deadlines this week! Make sure to check out the bottom section for key dates coming up:

Meet Entries: Due Wednesday at 5:00pm!

This Saturday (June 13) is an away meet at Hampton Heights (3311 S. Dayton 80231)

Make your meet entries here by Wednesday at 5:00pm! https://forestparkbluefins.swimtopia.com/swim_meets/809210/swim_meet_entries
- After making entires, please double check to make sure they were entered and correct!
Make sure to indicate if your swimmer is available for relays (early, late, or both)
If your swimmer needs a coach in the water with them for an event (which is OK!) please indicate that in the “notes for coaches” section.

Other Important Info

Lost and Found:

Did you know?! Our lost and found is located in the large bin to the right of the boy’s bathroom. All items found after practices/meets will be placed there. (Don’t be afraid to dig deep! Small items usually find their way to the bottom).

Playset

We love that the swingset is available for kiddos, but we MUST be safe and respectful with it. PLEASE- do not climb on top of the canopy!

If your child is found being unsafe or disobeying basic playset rules, they will be asked not to play on it again.

Porch Pickup Items

You may have an item on my porch that needs you!! It could be a t-shirt, swimsuit, or other item you’ve ordered during registration. Available all day until dark.

7727 S Detroit St (about one block from the pool).

Extra T-Shirt Orders: If you ordered additional T-shirts, they will be here within the week. Stay tuned!

What is “Fun Friday?”

Glad you asked! Fridays look a little different than the rest of the week. Swimmers start out with a practice (often preparing for the next day’s meet), while the last 15-ish minutes are reserved for fun games (silly relays, pool games, dive toys, pool scavenger hunts, etc). Often times we’ll have treats as well!

Candygrams (Big/Little Fish):

At any swim meet, you can find Lindsay Davis with Candygrams available for purchase ($5 cash or Venmo). Pick up a ready-made Candygram for your big or little fish, with all proceeds benefiting the team. Easy-peasy!

Dad’s Relay is BACK!

At our home meet on June 20, we’ll once again include a Dad’s Relay to celebrate Father’s Day Weekend. Watch for more info and a signup coming soon!

Dad Relay team uniforms are not required but encouraged ;)
