1. Congrats Dolphins! Congrats Seniors!

The Dolphins have built a 3-1 record so far this season with their recent win over the Arlington Forest Tigers (271-149). As a team, the Dolphins dropped 30 seconds more toward their season goal of 23 Minutes. They will be working hard to drop the remaining 3.5 Minutes at the B meet on Monday Night—Swim Fast Dolphins!

Seniors Matthew Grillo, Lilly Harris and Gabriella Hopper took their Senior Lap in the pool along with their cohorts from Arlington Forest. They have contributed much to the team over the last 14 years and we wish them well as they head to college in the Fall!

5. Schedule for the Week

Monday, July 15th - B Meet - WW @ Mansion House – 6pm

• Mansion House Pool is located at 9321 Old Mount Vernon Rd. Please factor in travel time and arrive at 5:05 for a 5:20 warm-up. Mansion House has a parking lot available to us. Mansion House reports that items have been stolen from cars during a recent swim meet. Please ensure that you’ve locked your cars and left nothing to tempt these opportunists.
• VOLUNTEERS - Please remember to wear white top/blue bottom. Also, if anything arises and you will be late for a shift please let us know as soon as possible. We thank you for all your help and support.
• Due to Mansion House’s neighborhood rules we have to stop the meet at 9:00pm (swimmers out of the water at 8:50).

Wednesday, July 17th – All Star Relays @ Lincolnia Park – 4pm

Good Luck to our Boys 18 & Under Mixed Age Relay! Swim Fast Dolphins!

Thursday, July 18th – Teen Night – Dolphin Prom!

• It’s the Dolphin Prom for our teens! Dress is “As Classy As You Wanna Be”. You might want to wear your “sensible shoes” though…It’s a walking progressive dinner. Don’t worry—it’s not a date thing or a couples thing. Just a group of friends living it up!
• Teens should sign up at practice starting Tuesday morning and bring $14 to cover Noodles & Co. for entrees. The teens will be meeting Thursday evening at 6:00pm at the Pool to take pictures and finalize their food order. Just like real prom, parents are welcome (or should I say briefly tolerated) to come and take photos! From there they’ll head to the Lindblom’s house (1000 Potomac Ln.) to enjoy appetizers. Following even more photo opportunities, they will travel to the the Vieira’s (8501 Doter Dr.) for their entrees. On their last leg (literally), the teens will arrive at the Hoppers (1131 Neal Dr.) for dessert and camaraderie around the pool (bring your swimsuits & a towel!). The whole event should wrap up around 10ish.
• IMPORTANT: Participants must be registered Waynewood Dolphin swimmers and be 13 or above on the date of the teen night to attend. Please respect that no exceptions will be made.

Friday, July 19th – Friday Movie this week – The Lion King (PG)
