Meet #4: Peace Haven @ Brookberry - Tuesday, June 17th

The Peace Haven Dolphins are on the move this week! We are heading a different direction, around the bend to the Brookberry territory. Brookberry swimmers are The Fins. They are orange and they get noticed, yet they are just “fins”. The fin of a fish does provide stability, balance and steers them through the water. The dorsal fin of fish and sharks do get some attention, yet it is only one piece. The Dolphins are more. We are a team, we are friends, we are supportive, we are kind and we are motivated! The DOLPHINS arrive in a blue pack! We are a family! We have enthusiasm!

So get goggles, caps and suits ready for our evening. Let’s show them how wonderful and strong this family is! GO DOLPHIN!!!
