GACC Race
As many of you know we have come in second to Bricks the last three years in the club challenge. Not bad since there are over 150 teams entered. We almost pulled off a first last year but we spent the entire year trying to make up points Bricks accumulated at the Dover Du. The landscape looks a lot different starting the season this year. Bricks has 9 signed up for the Dover Du compared to 54 last year. We have 3 signed up. We have 35 signed up for Devilman and Bricks has 7. So by May 5th we should be in first place for the first time ever. More good news is that we have 77 Tri-Dawgs signed up for 144 races so far compared to 28 Bricks members signed up for 65 races. Let's keep pushing!

Rules for Open Water Swim (OWS)
(This is to ensure we keep our permit as well as ensure the safety of our team members and friends in the water)
Must Be a Member of the Tri-Dawgs or a Guest of a Tri-Dawg.
WEDNESDAY OPEN WATER SWIMS ARE OPEN TO ALL TRI-DAWGS PROVIDED THE MEMBER REGISTERS AS A "DELAWARE SWIM AND FITNESS TRI DAWG" FOR ANY PIRANHA SPORTS EVENT THEY PARTICIPATE IN DURING 2013.
The OWS is NOT open to members of other teams, while we are a supportive group, this is a Tri-Dawg ONLYsponsored event
TRI DAWGS ARE ABLE TO BRING GUESTS AS LONG AS THE GUEST AGREES TO REGISTER AS A "DELAWARE SWIM AND FITNESS TRI DAWG" DURING ANY PIRANHA SPORTS EVENT THEY PARTICIPATE IN DURING 2013. Please introduce your guest to Vince LaFashia or Margaret LaFashia (or the assigned Tri-Dawg leading the swim that particular evening) so we are aware that there is someone new in attendance. If you bring a guest, you are responsible for your guest and should swim with them.
Must Sign-In & MORE importantly, you Must Sign-Out
You cannot enter the water until you have signed in (a notebook will be present when you arrive). ALSO Please do not leave for your car until you sign out. This is also your signature letting us know that you are swimming with the understanding that you are "swimming at your own risk".
Must wear a BRIGHT colored swim cap
Dark Blue and Black swim caps are NOT considered bright. This is so the kayakers can see you. If you do not have a swim-cap or forgot one, please try and borrow from a teammate. You cannot swim without a swim cap.
Please do not enter the water before 6:00pm and you Must be out of the water by 7:00pm
No swimming without kayakers in the water. If you are half way thru a lap and you see the kayakers pulling the buoys, you turn around with them. NO exception.
Please keep the buoys to your left (so counter clockwise circle swimming)
This is to help collisions in the water from happening. You do not need to swim to the furthest buoy to turn around, however you must stay between the first and last buoy, you can turn around whenever you like, just do it with caution and keep the buoys to your left.
Please Swim with Caution
The people in the kayaks are NOT lifeguards. NOTE: You are swimming at your own risk. They will assist if you need it but you should be able to swim. If you see a fellow teammate struggling, you STOP and ASSIST and yell to a kayaker.

We usually have two to three kayakers in the water. Sometimes we are in need of kayakers. If you would like to be a kayaker / have a kayak. please contact Vince LaFashia (newacls@yahoo.com or 302-383-0060) and let him know so he can plan accordingly on nights we may need your help.
And finally… HAVE FUN Sincerely, Your Tri-Dawg Family!
Have a great week!
