Important News from
the Pool!
Please connect with & look to
our
official Facebook page (linked to the home page of our
website) and our website as the source of your information.
It has come to our attention that there are other DBS Groups/pages
out there. The social media pages connected to our website
are the only official team pages.
If
you haven't logged into your account on the DBS website in a while
- please do so today. Please verify your cell phone number so we
can use the text feature through our website to communicate with
you. Most of our member accounts have not "verified" their
cell phone numbers. It takes just a couple clicks. As we move
back to afternoon/evening practice in a couple weeks this is
important, as pool closures due to weather increase in the
afternoons.

school our practices will be moving back to the
