Hello DCC Dolphins:

I hope this email finds you along with your family safe and
healthy during our current season of uncertainty. Here are a few items to note
about the upcoming swim season at Dunwoody Country Club.

• Registration for the team will open on Wednesday, 4/1.
• You will be notified via email a day or two before registration is open with
  instructions on how to register.
• As of now, extra fees for late registration won’t kick in until 4/15.

I am hopeful we will be able to have a season this summer,
please see below for basic information from the Atlanta Swim Association (ASA)
about the status of the 2020 summer swim season in relation to the spread of
the Coronavirus.

“We are still early on in this process, the next couple of weeks
will give us a better picture about how this will sort itself out and when we
can get back to our normal lives. We are closely monitoring the
situation with state and local authorities as I am certain you all are. We will
do what is in the best interests of our swimmers, families, teams, and, the
community. If we do not have a season, we will refund all registration fees, minus any
transactional fees paid to the registration provider. Those transaction fees
would likely be a couple of dollars at most. Please register your swimmers as
you would normally. If we are still uncertain about our situation as the first
late fee would apply on April 15, we will explore extending that deadline into
early May to avoid penalizing families if our season is still in doubt at that
time. Other considerations will involve a delayed start to the season if we get
an all clear in late May or early June. This may limit our ability to have a
championship meet for 2020 but would still allow us to swim. We have a lot of
time to work with in the summer, so missing a meet or two in a limited window
still is better than not having a swim season in our opinion. Again, these
options are hypothetical at this point, our plan and hope is to have a full
swim season, but we will do so in the context of what is best for our community
as a whole. We are still in early March, there is a lot of time between now and
late May when our season is slated to begin. We all need to take a deep breath
and keep apprised of developments as the season approaches. The conversations
we had during our meetings were very level headed and constructive, so let's
stay on that same track. The hope is that warmer weather and time will be our
best allies in the goal of swimming this summer. So in the meantime, wash those
hands, cross those fingers and stay tuned. ASA appreciates your support."

Hoping to see you all this summer at DCC! 

In the mean time, stay safe, stay healthy, and, be smart.
