Meet #5: Peace Haven vs Sherwood @ HOME - Tuesday, June 27th

MEET THEME: NEON! Swimmers and volunteers will receive a glo bracelet upon arrival but everyone is welcome to dig out their brightest clothing and accessories. A prize will be given to the best costume!

Another great swim meet awaits! On Tuesday we will invite the Sherwood Sharks to swim with us. Sharks. Yes, sharks. Sharks do not sleep, they eat everything, and they get an entire week (sometimes more) on the National Geographic Channel. We need to remember these sharks are our friends. They love to swim against us and they will want to win! They will wear shirts that say "shark week is every week". Dolphins, let's show them how strong the Peace Haven Dolphins really are! Get those goggles, suits, and smiles and be ready for Tuesday!

VOLUNTEERS - We have MANY positions to fill. Please sign up! When you arrive, check-in at our volunteer table. You will receive instructions here on how to do your job. Please ask questions if it is your first time!

HEAT SHEET - The Heat Sheet and Meet Entries will be sent out by email as soon as they are available on Tuesday (hopefully close to 12:00 PM).

PARKING - As you know, our parking is limited. You are welcome to drop swimmers off once our lot is full, but will then need to park on the street. PLEASE park on the POOL SIDE only of Hearthside Drive. Thank you!

ARRIVAL - Anyone who is available to assist with set-up, please arrive at 4:00. Also Dolphin Pod (Clerk of Course) volunteers should plan to arrive by 4:00 PM to set up our Dolphin Pod and greet our 10 & U swimmers. All others should plan to arrive by 4:15 PM to get set up, mark events, etc... If you need help, please seek a veteran parent or Dolphin Pod volunteer. We recommend you Mark Your Simmer prior to arrival to save time.

DECK - Spectator seating is only available on one side of our pool. Traditionally, Peace Haven sets up on the deep end and the visiting team on the shallow end. We will be arriving first, so let’s be hospitable and make sure to share the deck space. Please bring extra chairs. No one is allowed on the steps in the shallow end or to have legs in the pool anywhere on deck during the meet.

PLAYGROUND - The playground is open for use during the meet but is unsupervised. Parents are advised to monitor as necessary. The baby pool is not open for swimming.

CONCESSIONS - Hamburgers, chips, drinks, candy and snacks are available at the Snack Shack during the meet. PH members may charge their accounts or pay with cash or Venmo. Sunset Slush will be on deck!

10 & UNDER SWIMMERS - The Dolphin Pod will be located along the fence at the deep end of the pool. It will be VERY important to instruct your 10&U swimmers to remain in the Dolphin Pod with their assigned parent volunteer so they can easily be found when their next events come around.

11 & OVER SWIMMERS - Please remind your 11&O swimmers that they are responsible for keeping track of the meet and getting themselves to their event, heat and lane ON TIME. Our Starter will not hold up the meet for them. Coaches are positioned at each PH lane to instruct and cheer for swimmers and can’t be chasing down missing swimmers.

CLEAN UP - Many hands make light work! At the conclusion of the last event we will ask Dolphins and their parents to help clean up. Moving chairs, picking up trash, etc. The Pizza Party will not start until the deck is put back in order. THANK YOU!

AFTER PARTY WITH PIZZA & COOKIES - We will have our pizza party in the shelter after the meet. It is $5 per person, $20 family max. Jill Johnson is our Pizza Planner! You can prepay her Venmo - @ccjjohnson - and she will take cash and Venmo on Thursday until 7:00PM. This is a lot of fun for our swimmers!! We hope you will stay and enjoy!
