Hello Garner Dolphins,

We're excited to have another home meet tomorrow night, hosting Harmony!

With that in mind, we have a few updates...

First, if you haven't already signed up to volunteer there are still opportunities. Specifically needed are:

• Heat participant/winner distribution
• Place Judge
• Timers (7 needed!)

We know several of us show up without volunteering and offer to help (which is great!), but it really does help plan and make meet days smoother if we know who to expect in each position. If you have any questions about the roles, please read up on this site and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions.

Now, the theme for tomorrow is "Luau"! If you have any appropriately themed decor, you can check this link to see what is needed.

Finally, the meet tomorrow is going to be HOT. We will try to run an efficient meet so that we're in the heat for the least amount of time possible, but we're also going to work to make the heat more manageable for spectators. To do this:

• Bring your swim suits! In between strokes (when the 6&u finish line is being placed, we will allow spectators to take a quick dip in the pool). This will happen at least twice if not more throughout the meet.
• There will be plenty of drinks for sale under the shelter. 
• We will also make sure there is a large, orange jug of cold water available to anyone who needs it. 
• There will also be a hose and a "mister" available for people to walk through and use the water to stay cool if they can't (or don't want to) get fully soaked in the pool.
• If you have a tent, feel free to bring it. We will use them to create as much shade as possible. If we have enough shade on our side we can always share with the visiting team!

Looking forward to a great meet...

See you at the pool!
