Garner Dolphins - this week (6/25/23)
This coming Tuesday our Garner Dolphins are going up against the Renaissance Park Rays. The Rays are a similarly sized team, with 68 swimmers, so it should be a competitive meet.
Make every effort to get your athletes to practice tomorrow night (Monday), so they can be ready to really make waves on Tuesday.
We need to fill 3 more volunteer spots: Hospitality, Order of Finish, and Timer. Please sign up for one if you’re able.
Warm up starts at 5 pm. Please get your kids to the pool at 4:45 and have them check in with a volunteer at the round picnic table. It would be a big help if you write your child’s swimtopia number on their arm (with a sharpie) prior to arrival. A list of swimtopia numbers can be found on the event page for this meet and is attached to this message.
Volunteers please check in with Jake when you get to the pool.
Don’t forget…arrggg…the theme for this week’s meet be Pirates and Mermaids, mateys! There will be bandanas, eye patches, and temp tattoos for swimmers. Please consider signing up to bring decorations:

We won’t know until Monday evening if the pool will be certified for night swimming. There’s a chance we’ll have to stop the meet at 8:30 pm again. Stay tuned.
