IMPORTANT NOTICE RE PARENTS AND SWIMMERS ON DECK WITHOUT SHOE PROTECTION COVERS


For Hygiene Reasons, the Dolphin SC Committee, and the Management and Staff of Mayfield Sports Complex ask that Parents of Children attending the LTS programme do not bring their children out onto the deck before the teaching session starts without any shoe protection covers on, and do not come from the changing room onto the deck with the swimmers without the Shoe Protection Covers.

The Swimmers must head out themselves onto the deck from the changing area once they are ready, and the parents should leave the changing rooms by means of the exit door in the changing room and approach the spectator gallery by means of the usual way.

ALL AM & PM squad members should enter/leave the changing rooms via the corridor door and not the pool deck door .

Your Cooperation with this matter would be greatly appreciated.


WHATS NEW AT DOLPHINSC.COM...


Please note that on top of Club membership subscription (as per the membership form) and the Swim Ireland registration fees of 8.70 per non comp swimmer (excluding those in their first year in the club) and 27.30 per comp swimmer, each club member must pay a Levy to Swim Ireland.

The AGM of Swim Ireland this year passed a proposal that each member of each club shall pay a levy to Swim Ireland for the next two years. 15 Euro for the first person/ swimmer in the family, 10 Euro for the second, 7 Euro for the third and 7 Euro per person/swimmer thereafter. We understand that this will be an extra expense for most of the families involved in the club but we are not in control of the situation as it is a Swim Ireland levy not a club one.


Munster Squad Qualifying Standards and Criteria as well as Claim Forms are now available to download from the Squad Training & Notices Link.

The PARENT DECK SUPERVISION ROSTER has been posted up for the months of June & July 2009, and is now available to download from the link opposite.

Latest Gala results are available to download from the Swim Season Results Page.

Write Ups on all recent meets are available to view on the Dolphin SC News link and older articles are available to view on the Club Archive News Link. Keep an eye out on the New Dolphin SC Notice Board in Mayfield Sports Complex for more news, updates and photos from recent events!
