This is a resource created for all of you! Click on the blue buttons below or at the top of the page to navigate this website. On this home page, you will find information about the coaches and answers to common questions. Under each stroke, you will find stretches, videos, workouts, and more information. Under the "Starts & Turns" page you will find videos explaining how to complete every start and turn for each stroke. Under the "Stretches" page there is information on stretching and pictures of how to complete different stretches. Under the "Dry Land" page you will find workout moves that work the same muscles used while swimming. Finally, under the "Olympics" page you will find videos of various Olympic races for every stroke. 

• The swimmer must be declared or undeclared for each meet by 10:00 AM on the Saturday before the meet starts (this includes both Tuesday's and Thursday's meets). The coaches put together the meets ahead of time, and relays will get messed up if a swimmer drops out of the meet. If you forget to declare, at most you may be put in a few events. Our conference has very strict timelines for when we have to have the meet sent in, after a certain point, our coaches can no longer place any more swimmers into races. For any changes please contact Emma Dunkel by either email and/or text (look above for contact information) as soon as possible. 

• To declare or undeclare a swimmer, go to the Manchester Marlins Swim Team Website and click on Events at the top of the page. Scroll down to the meet and click on the attend/decline button, and either declare or undeclare each swimmer. You can do all the meets ahead of time if you so want to. 

• Find a swimmers race numbers by looking at the Manchester Marlins Swim Team Website and click on Events at the top of the page. Click on the meet and scroll down to forms and documents. We recommend writing each number on the swimmer's arm with a permanent marker (nail polish remover or spray sunscreen will take it off after the meet). 

• Warm-Up starts at 4:30 PM, we recommend coming by at least 4:15 to set up camp. 

• The meet starts at 5:00 PM, most meets last around 3 hours. 

• Each pool will have a concession stand, but we also recommend bringing healthy snacks, supper, and water! 

• Don't forget your towels, goggles, swim caps, swimsuits, and other necessities such as ear or nose plugs. 

• Ribbons will be available the next day at practice. Any DQ slips will eventually be put in the ribbon box. Coaches will try their best to speak with each swimmer who was disqualified and tell them why they were disqualified, and explain how to fix it for next time. If any swimmer has a question on why they were disqualified, please ask a coach. We try our best, but don't always catch all the swimmers!
