Dear Porpoise Families,

The Porpoise candidates should meet at the pool the day the Swim Team begins practice, May 26th. On this day, the coaching staff will evaluate the potential porpoises for basic skills before they are allowed to participate. Our head coach will determine what these basic skills are and discuss them at the general meeting. Registration fees will be refunded to parents whose children do not possess the minimum skills for participation.

The porpoise pre-team will begin practicing on June 22nd, evaluations are being done early because often porpoise candidates are deemed skilled enough to join the team as 8 & under swimmers. This prevents the advanced swimmers from missing several weeks of valuable practice time.

Porpoise parents are not expected to fulfill the volunteer obligations but will be required to do the snack bar obligation.

Porpoises (also swim team members) do not need to purchase team suits. However, parents may want to purchase them for general team spirit or if they feel their child may advance to the team during the season.

Thank you for participating.

David Schwarzenberg, President, DST Executive Committee
