Key Roles Needed
CONCESSIONS: Currently, we have no parent to run concessions at our home meets and need someone to raise their hand to facilitate this. Please get in touch with bexleymarlinsswimteam@gmail.com if interested. Ideally, we’d love to get two parents who can organize this activity.

OFFICIALS: If you are interested in being trained as an official, please contact bexleymarlinsswimteam@gmail.com. A recording of the recent training can be viewed on your time to participate. This training must be completed by June 1. 

Meet Volunteers

Each home and away meet requires many parent volunteers to operate. We expect each family to volunteer throughout the season to ensure a smooth running experience for the swimmers. Even if your children are little, or if you are new to swimming — there is always somehow to show you the ropes.

Look for volunteer signups each week. Families can find descriptions of the help needed herehttp://www.bexleymarlins.com/getting-involved/volunteers/

Schedule Update

There is now a date for Champs. It will be July 20th outdoors at Dresden, with a rain date of July 21st. The entire meet will be in one day, with different sessions for different age groups.

Missing Practice
If your swimmer is going to miss a single practice, there is no need to notify the team or coach for these “onesie-twosie” things- If your swimmer is going to miss (give or take) a week of practice — for example, if you are going on vacation — please let the coach know (bexmarlin.coach@gmail.com)

As Always. Families can find most Information…
