Daddy/Daughter night: Feb. 12th

Calling all Desert Dolphin Dads.... (or brothers, or uncles, or grandpas)

Join us for the 1st Annual Daddy Daughter event!

Thursday Feb. 12th from 5:30-6:30.
We'll be enjoying special time together, eating donuts, sipping hot chocolate, and of course making a few necessities!!

We'll be making Foot Boards, a MUST for any synchronized swimmer. Athletes use these to help stretch their feet and toe points. We have some for the team, but now... all the girls will have the opportunity to make their own to use at home. (And you will use them right???)

We'll also be making special AZD Dad Shirts! Dad's just bring your own T-shirt and we'll supply the picture to be ironed on. What's it a picture of you may wonder.... well, your daughter of course!!

**No cost is involved.... so come! We'll bring all the materials, except for the T-shirts, and we'll need Dad's to bring their drills!

London's Run

Great job to everyone who participated in the London's Run Saturday morning. What a great event and a great cause!

We are so lucky to have such a great Desert Dolphin family.

Here are a few pictures from the event. 

Get ready for next year.... here we come 10K!!

Proper Suit Care

With the coming meet season, it is important to properly take care of your routine swimsuit. After all, a lot of time and effort went into making and embellishing them! Here are a few do's and don'ts.

1. ALWAYS rinse your suit with plain water after you swim in it. The sooner the better. Chlorine will fade the colors and make the elastic brittle.

2. ALWAYS hang your suit to dry. NEVER, EVER, EVER leave it in a heap, wrapped up in a towel or put it in a bag while it is wet.

3. ALWAYS make sure the headpiece and suit are COMPLETELY dry before storing them.

4. If your suit has glitter on it, don't smash it against another suit, this can cause the glitter to transfer from one suit to another, especially if the glue and glitter are still damp. Hang your suits with room to breathe.

5. Make sure your name is written inside your suit.

If you disobey these rules, the Suit Police may come and repossess your beautiful swimsuit!
