Welcome to the 2011 Dolphin Website!Hello Dolphin Families, CONGRATULATIONS to our 2011 League Champions Dolphin Swim Team! I hope everyone has been enjoying the remainder of their summer and all the fun activities that comes with it. I know that this communication is a little late in coming, however I still wanted to send it out as it has a lot of information that is of interest to our families and Dolphin swimmers. Now that the 2011 Swim Season has come to an end, I just wanted to take this time to thank all the committee members and their families, Coaches, Dolphin swimmers, and the various volunteers for all the time and effort put forth to make this swim season another wonderful experience for our children. Special thank you to Linda Peckham for all her years of dedicated service to our Dolphin swim team as she steps down from her position as Registrar and Mark Osowski for stepping down (again) for another great year of dedicated service as our League Representative/Meet Director! Also, leaving the swim team committee this year is Kathy Voice our Cantina Manager Extraordinaire and Luke Goorsky our Dolphin Head Coach. You will all be missed and Thank You all for your help over the years in making the Dolphin swim program the very special program that it is! In addition, we have several parents that have approached various members of the swim team committee regarding some great ideas for the 2012 Swim Season. We always welcome suggestions on how to improve our wonderful summer program, so please send me your ideas! I also wanted to remind parents, that we have two (2) committee positions available - Registrar and Cantina Manager. If any of you have an interest in any of these positions and/or special talents and are interested in becoming more involved with the operations of the swim team, please come forward and let me know!! As you all know, it takes a team of dedicated parents to make our swim program the best of the best!!! Great News, we have Team Records broken and High Point winners as a result of our Championship Meet. Congrats go out to: Team Records Broken:
League High Point Winners:
FYI, for those families who missed Awards Night or forgot to order your 2011 Swim Team Video and Team Picture – It’s not too late! Videos are $10 each and Swim Team Pictures are $5 each. Please contact Dave or Julie Beach at 661/259-6543 or CLICK HERE to email. The "Meet Results" of our website has been updated and includes a link to the Individual Seasonal Report, which includes previous years – going back to 2006 (when I took over as Programmer). I thought that the children would appreciate all their years of hard work as they steadily improve their swim times! In addition, all the results from all four swim meets (VH, OOII, SUM, and Championships), Team and League Records, and High Point winners can be viewed. All reports are PDF files. I hope that the weekly email updates has been beneficial in our attempt to maintain “Dolphin Communication” with our families. As always, should you have any comments and questions please feel free to contact me or anyone on the OOI Swim Team Committee - located on our website. See you NEXT YEAR around the pool… P.S. A friendly reminder that another Old Orchard I Homeowner Association summer activity has begun - WATER POLO! This is another wonderful summer program which will again be lead by one of our Dolphin Dad’s – Steffen Land! Registration is now open and forms can be located at the OOI Clubhouse or on-line. Please click on Water Polo link above our Dolphin Swim Team Logo (just above our Coaches Corner) for more information! Yvette R. Barrios, NOTE: As a reminder, the parents involved on the Swim Team Committee are all volunteers. They were recruited, and not elected (a policy that has been in effect since the organization of the OOI Swim Team). Therefore, they do their best to provide a fun and safe program for our children. If any of you have special talents and are interested in becoming more involved with the operations of the swim team, please come forward and let any committee member know what position you are interested in. Thank you!
Dolphin HistoryThe swim team is open to residents of Old Orchard I who are between the ages of 4 through 16. We are part of a network of local neighborhoods that formed a league with friendly competition. The Dolphin organization strives to give our children an opportunity to acquire and improve their swimming skills in a competitive environment while at the same time generating a strong sense of community sprit. The program is only six weeks long! In order to assure its success, the team counts on extensive parent involvement. It takes over 50 volunteers to run a swim meet and volunteers are also needed to help with swim team social activities. Please sign-up for at least one volunteer position and help assure that we maintain our excellent program. Come
be a part of a team with a winning tradition!
