Hi Porpoise Families,

We hope your Porpoises are all enjoying the season so far! This week we have our 3rd dual meet, a home meet against the Brighton Forest Silver Fins on Tuesday, June 24th!

Here's what you need to know!

Meet Theme:
It's Hawaiian Night! Feel free to have fun with the theme. We will also be celebrating Coach Malie's Sweet 16, so join us in wishing her a Happy Birthday!

Heat:

It's going to be hot, hot, hot. Please ensure everyone on deck is properly hydrated and well-nourished - start drinking your extra water now! Charge your neck fans, bring your cooling towels, portable fans, misters, etc, etc, etc. Things get much better when the sun gets behind the trees. Our hospitality volunteer will be bringing water around to the volunteers on deck. I will also set up a few chairs in the clubhouse for anyone who needs a temporary break from the heat (swimmers must be dry before entering the clubhouse).

Arrival:
As always, swimmer arrival for home meets is 4:45 p.m. If you'd like to make the line move faster, feel free to write your swimmer's age & name on their arm. Swimmer check-in is under the red tent, volunteer check-in is under the gazebo. If you know you'll be late, please let us know in advance. Any swimmer who has not checked in by 5:30 will be scratched from the meet. Any volunteer who has not checked in by 5:30 will forfeit their role for the evening. Coach Evan and I will both check emails at 5:30, so let us know before 5:30 if you'll be late. **If your swimmer arrives after 5:15, please check-in at the gazebo.**

Concessions:
Concessions will be open, serving pizza, ice cream, snacks, cold drinks, and snow cones. All profits are invested back into the team. Cash or Venmo only, no credit cards.
