Hi ho, hi ho…to Catonsville we go!! It is hard to believe that our last regular season away meet is this Saturday! We are travelling about 30 minutes down the road to Catonsville to swim Five Oaks! We are going from one extreme to the other- last week, we swam in a 4 lane pool…this week is an 8 lane pool!! Good thing because we have things to do, places to be…(ie, Parents’ Night Out at Molloy’s!!!)

FUN FRIDAY- Tomorrow’s Fun Friday is a costume day! Come to practice ready to swim and bring a fun costume/outfit to wear for during Fun Friday treats. There will be prizes for silliest, funniest, and most creative!!

We are still in need of snacks and treats for our 10:00 practice! Thank you to the 2 people that signed up thus far!!  Not sure I am prepared for the 10:00 swimmers' wrath again this week when they only have the leftovers.

Parent’s Night Out at Molloy’s is THIS SATURDAY!!! A perfect opportunity to have a few drinks with fellow Dolphin parents all while raising money for your favorite summer swim team!!! I am collecting bottles of wine, liquor, beer, seltzers, games, etc for our wagon of cheer that will be raffled off at Molloy’s. Raffle tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. If you don’t have time to stop at the liquor store and you already re gifted anything you had at home, I will also accept monetary donations and I will go to the liquor store for you! Please venmo me at @Cohen-Robyn or cash works too. You gotta play to win!!

And now, the part of the email that you have been waiting for…
