1. Last A-Meet and Virtual All Star Relays Results!
Our Dolphins leaped over the Sleepy Hollow Bath & Racquet Seals on Saturday 240-179! With this victory they end their A meet season with a winning record 3-2! Further, the Dolphins as a team have dropped 34.22 minutes off their times from the beginning of the season and promise to leave more time behind in the events this week! For complete results of A meets across the league go to https://mynvsl.com/
Way to Go, Dolphins!
In a normal year, the NVSL would have held All Star Relays last week. That is a meet that takes the results of the 17 Relay Carnivals held across the NVSL and draws the top 18 Relays for each age group to compete. Since the meet was not held, the NVSL seeded the meet as normal and has declared those teams as winners of the 2021 All Stars Relays. The Waynewood Dolphins had 2 Relays that were among the 18 fastest of all 102 NVSL Teams:
- 11-12 Boys Medley relay of Jonas Yiengst, Moses Wolf, Marshall LoCascio and Jacques Poyac-Clarkin earned 3rd place
- 11-12 Boys Freestyle Relay of Jonas Yiengst, Mason Yiengst, Jacques Poyac-Clarkin and Moses Wolf earned 15th place
These teams will receive All Star Relay patches and awards just as if the in person meet had occurred! Congratulations boys!

5. Seeking Swim Team Reps for 2023-2024 Seasons
It might seem early, but our goal in Waynewood has always been to have as much overlap as possible between Team Reps. If you are interested in becoming a Swim Team Representative starting in the summer 2023 season, we’d love to offer you the opportunity to shadow our Team Reps next year to see how it all works. Please contact our current Team Reps, Tom and Frederick, at [email protected] to learn more!
6. Dolphin Duel – Call for Kid-Appropriate Jokes!
Budding comedy writers can submit their kid-appropriate riddles and jokes to our Dolphin Duel announcer Brian Stolarz at [email protected]. As many of you remember, if he reads your joke “on air,” sees amazing dance moves or good sportsmanship he may have a treat for you!
