🚨 IMPORTANT: Relay Attendance Policy

It was a mad dash to locate and get substitute swimmers for the Clerk of Courses, Junior Coaches, and others during the relays this Saturday. If you are designated to participate in a relay and have to leave early, you MUST let the coaches and the Head Clerk of Course know. Multiple absences with no backfill or simply just missing your relay will result in no longer being eligible for relays. You have been warned!

❤️ Kindness Matters!

Remember, whether we're Home or Away, communities are kind enough to allow our swim teams to compete and practice at their facilities. Please be sure to respect our hosts and clean up your tent area and the bathrooms before leaving!

📊 How to Check Your Volunteer Points

Parents can check their seasonal volunteer points directly through their SwimTopia account. Please note that the level of detail varies slightly between the mobile app and the team website:

💻 Option 1: Via the Team Website (Most Detailed)

• For a complete breakdown of current points and upcoming shifts, look at your account portal on a web browser:
  • Go to the team's SwimTopia website and Log In.
  • Click My Account in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Right on the main profile screen, you will see a Volunteering Summary that displays every shift you have signed up for (past and future), the points assigned to each specific shift, and your total volunteer points accumulated for the current season.

📱 Option 2: Via the SwimTopia Mobile App

• If you are on the go, you can use the free SwimTopia Mobile App (available on iOS and Android) by signing in with your standard website credentials:
  • What you can see: Under your family profile, you can view a summary of your upcoming and past Volunteer Sign-Ups and commitments.
  • Note on Point Totals: While the app perfectly tracks which jobs you are assigned to, viewing the exact math/weighted point totals is most reliably done by jumping over to the web portal's My Account view.

Let’s rest up, gear up, and get ready to take on the Piranhas this Wednesday. See you at the pool

Swim Fast, Sting Hard!

Best regards,

The Dulles Farms Swim Team Board
