FINALS
GFSL Finals are on Sunday, July 13th at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. While this can be logistically challenging considering that the meet consists of 2 sessions, we want to encourage ALL Dolphins families to be available to participate. It is a GREAT experience swimming with all teams in our league at a world-class facility. And no matter the weather - even with thunder - the meet will go on at the GAC!
Every team is allowed 3 swimmers in each individual event and two relays per event. Even if you don’t think your child “will qualify” for Finals, we ask that you PLEASE make your swimmer available to swim. We need many swimmers to fill out our relays and have alternate spots. More information about Finals will be coming soon.
END OF SEASON PARTY
Save the Date for July 14th 6:00-9:00 PM. Dinner, dessert, awards and swimming at the pool! We will keep the pool open an extra hour for swim team only! The RSVP and job sign up is now open!
Have a great weekend, Dolphins!
