Saturday Morning Swim Practices Suspended- I've decided to suspend practices until sometime in September. Turn out has been very low this summer and I'm trying to get my IM training in. Don't forget you can go to www.tridawgs.blogspot.com and access the archived workouts. I will send out a reminder when we start up practices again. Enjoy the rest of your summer. –Coach

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.
