Staying for Finals (Thursday/Friday/Saturday):

In order to promote team spirit and a sense of excitement at finals, all swimmers are asked to come back for finals/warmups regardless of whether or not they have qualified.  This is for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening sessions.  If a swimmer does not qualify a Sunday swim then they are free to go as soon as they are finished their warmdown.

T-Shirts:

We would love that all swimmers wear their Provincial shirt during the Friday session for heats and finals.

Training:

If a swimmer is heading over to the island on Wednesday, we expect them to train on Wednesday AM from 6:15-7:30 so that they don't go 24 hours without a swim session.

Those swimmers that are leaving later will be swimmin modified practices during their regularly scheduled practice times.  

Please be aware of signup deadlines and make sure you have signed your child up on time.  DSSC coaches will not be able to get athletes into the meets after those deadlines.

If you are asking to remove your child from the swim meet prior to the sign up deadline just change your Declaration on the club's website.
If you are asking to remove your child from the swim meet after the deadline but prior to the scratch deadline (as posted in the meet package), please email the Head Coach at headcoach@teamsungod.ca.
If you are asking to remove your child after the scratch deadline please inform your coach, but understand that you are responsible for all fees unless a medical note is given to the meet manager.  

Swimmers are responsible for knowing whether or not they make a final.  If a swimmer fails to attend their respective second swim, and there is a fine (usually 20$) their accounts will be charged.  

Relays are part of finals or prelims.  Teams can be adjusted up until the start of the session they are swam in.  Relay team members will be notified during the preliminary session whether or not they are swimming in a relay.  If a swimmer fails to show up for a relay the cost of the relay will be charged to their account.

Swimmers should bring:

• DELTA Sungod Race Suit (this is different than the suit you practice in everyday)
• 2x DELTA cap
• 2x goggles
• DELTA t-shirt
• deck clothes (maybe bring shorts and pants depending on deck temperature)
• deck shoes (most heat is lost via the feet, and it keeps your feet wart free)

• We encourage swimmers to not bring electronic devices. We go as a team and would rather have everyone cheer.
