For individual results, head to your swimmer's page at https://www.greenbriardolphins.org/ or in the Swimtopia Mobile app.
Swimmers Placing at Saturday Meets: If your swimmer placed second or third in any individual event in a Saturday Meet, if they choose to swim that event in a Monday Meet it will be unofficial (aka Exhibition) for the rest of the season. If your swimmer placed first in any individual event in a Saturday Meet, all events (excluding IM) will be unofficial (aka Exhibition) in a Monday Meet for the rest of the season. When a swimmer is swimming in an Exhibition event, their times count but they do not place.

These include freestyle relays (each swimmer swims freestyle) and medley relays (each swimmer swims a different stroke).

Let’s celebrate Team USA and the 4th of July a little early with an all American potluck. Join us at the tables under the umbrellas near the sandpit for food and fun. Bring your folding chairs, picnic blankets and BUG SPRAY! These events are a great time for families to meet at the pool, socialize and build team spirit. All team members are welcome to come even if you are not swimming in the A meet! Please let us know if you’re attending here and signup to help and what to bring here. All the details can be found on the Signup Calendar.
6/29 Greenbriar vs Truro: Please declare swimmer availability for the team’s Saturday meet against Truro (Annandale). The declaration deadline is 6PM Tonight. Final swimmer selection for the meet will be emailed on Thursday. As per our usual tradition, we plan to caravan to Truro from the pool parking lot.
6/29 Swim and Dive Late Night: Maybe you started your day early at the pool in the caravan to Truro. Why not finish it off with the Swim and Dive teams at Swim and Dive Late Night at the pool starting at 9PM. Please RSVP and Signup to help make the late night event a memorable one.
7/1 Home B Meet with Oakton: Just looking ahead to the week of July 4th, we are hosting the Oakton Otters on Monday, July 1st. Our Monday evening home meets always require full participation from parents of entered swimmers, and we’re anticipating a few of our regular volunteers being out for the holiday. If you’re planning for your swimmer to enter this meet, please consider entering them as early as possible and signing up for a job so we have plenty of time to cover any of our gaps. Even if you enter your swimmer in the meet today, you have until Saturday night to change their strokes or alter your volunteer role until the day of the meet. Thanks for helping us plan ahead!
See you at the pool this week even...if it's not ours! :)
