Membership

You must be a member of the Quail Valley Pool in order to register your child to swim / practice with the team and every child swimming at the practices MUST be a registered team member.  This is due to Quail Valley HOA liability.


The Mini Marlins Program

Our Minis are the future of our team!  It is now required that potential swimmers try out.  Chilren must be comfortable in shallow water alone and be able to swim half the length of the pool (12.5 meters) non stop.  Try-outs will be Wednesday, June 13th at 10:00 am and 5:15 pm. Please choose only one to attend. It will be the coaches' decision if the swimmer qualifies to join the team.


Family Concession Stand Support Fee

Instead of asking for donations before every home meet for items to be sold at the concession stand, this year again asking family to contribute a one-time $15 fee to e used by the team to purchase food strictly for concession sales.  (This fee does not apply toward Friday potlucks, the waffle breakfast, or the team banquet, which are team-only events that do not have food sales).

New Team Swimsuits

There will be a new suit this year. It is the Dolfin LTF Series "VERVE" style no. 7112LTF (women's), 8110LTF (jammer) and 7114LTF (racer) in green/black (GVV). You will be able to try on and order a suit at registration. Or you can go to Underwater Wear store located at 615 S. Frederick Ave. Lower Level B & C, Gaithersburg, 301-527-8326.


Coaches

We're thrilled to welcome back Frank Barrett as our new Head Coach. We're also very pleased to welcome back Assistant Head Coach Katie Krauss and newcomer Assistant Coach Olivia Knight, who were both former QV Marlins swimmers!. We are looking forward to another great season.


QV Marlins Google Group

We'll be communicating mainly through a Google e-mail group (you do not need a Google e-mail address to join).  If you have not yet joined, the address is qvmarlins [at] googlegroups.com.  It is very important that you join so that you don't miss out on any of the team events.


Volunteers

All team parents must volunteer in order for our meets to run smoothly and for our team to have a fun, memorabe season.  We'll have signups at registration, so bring your calendars!  Look for an email regarding Sign-Up-Genius for volunteering. This is a great tool to keep track of which positions need to be filled for each meet. Again this year there will be SSL opportunities for MCPS students, 6th grade and up,including assisting the Mini-Marlins and volunteering at mini-meets.


Restaurant Nights

Fund-raising restaurant nights will be rescheduled for nearby restaurants, with a percentage of sales going to the QV Marlins - dates and locations to be announced.


Sponsorship

A letter outlining the benefits of being a team sponsor can be downloaded from clicking Sponsorship Form. - Sponsorship is a great way to adventise your own business, or feel free to pass the letter along to other potential sponsors.  Contact Chervyl Hammerly at travline [at] aol.com if you have any questions or suggestions regarding team sponsorship.


Swim Meet Officials

We are always in need of trained officials - stroke and turn judges, referees and starters.  If you've already been certified, please check the MCSL website to see if you need to re-certify this year, or you may want to consider becoming certified for an additional official position.
