Hello Dive Clubs and Club Leaders and Representatives-
Next week is Daylight Savings, can you believe it! That means more daylight to dive and it also reminds me that Summer is approaching. And Summer of course means Rocks, Rips & Reefs season!
The dates are set for our events and we are now looking for clubs willing to host a particular site. We really value our participating clubs in past years and know we could not do this program without you. We are really hoping we can count on you to join us this year. Remember, this not only helps our program to teach divers about our area and promote safety, but it also gives your club the opportunity to promote themselves to our participants.
Please take a look at the following schedule for the upcoming season and as you contact your club or it meets this month, please discuss it. As in previous years we would ask that you select your 1st, 2nd and 3rd preference. We will do our best to accommodate every club’s request, but we also really appreciate the clubs willingness to shift dates to help cover all the events, I understand some clubs have traditionally hosted certain sites, but our hope is that this process will help us fill our sites well in advance of the season and will help us to better promote our events.
2018 Schedule
1. June 2nd, La Jolla Cove/ Boomer Beach
2. June 16th, Marine Street
3. June 30th, North Bird Rock
4. July 14th, Goldfish Point (La Jolla Caves)
5. July 28th, Shell Beach
6. August 11th, Hospital Point
7. August 25th, Sunset Cliffs
8. September 8th, Children’s Pool/South Casa Beach
As a reminder, or if your club hasn’t hosted before, sponsoring a 3R’s event will, in a nutshell, include providing snacks and drinks for participants at the event, having a representative share info and materials about your club, and having volunteers to help with a few other aspects of the event such as signing in participants.
Also, we would like you to provide at least two volunteer swimmers to act as additional ‘safety swimmers’. Please encourage your ‘Rescue’ certified divers or those with lifeguarding experience to volunteer to do this. We hold a ‘refresher training day’ for our returning team and any new volunteers that are interested so they can get a preview of what safety swimmers do, review some skills and get or renew CPR/AED certification. We have this refresher training day set for Saturday, May 12th, 7:00am at La Jolla Cove.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, need more info about the 3Rs – or even have suggestions. And if you are not the best contact for your club for the 3Rs this season, please forward this to that person and also please send us their contact info so we can follow up with them. Thanks! Our contact info is below.
We are anticipating another great 3R’s season this summer and really hope your club will be partnering with us!
