1. Woods of Parkview Meet Details

Arrival – The PoolCats will open the pool deck to our team at 5 p.m. The Dolphins will warm up at 5:25 p.m. Of course, please allow your family time to park and walk to the pool to be on time for warmups, but as a team, we also want to be respectful of the PoolCats request that we arrive around 5 p.m. This year we are twice the size of Parkview, and we want to give their setup volunteers the time they need to get the pool deck setup for the meet.

Parking – As usual, park only one side of the street. Woods of Parkview advises not to create your own parking spaces in the small lot – especially extending beyond the railroad ties in the center. If cars do park in this area – blocking the lane for emergency vehicles – they will delay the meet until those cars are moved.

Seating – There is little to no shade at Woods of Parkview. Tents are allowed for swimmers and spectators, but if you do bring a tent, please set it up along the fence and/or back rows so as not to block the view of the pool.

Concessions – The PoolCats Concession Stand will serve BBQ pork & BBQ chicken sandwiches, pizza, chips, candy, and drinks. Cash is preferred but Venmo is accepted.

2. Fun Friday Details

This week’s theme is Hair Metal!

Abby McCulloh – Arrive at 10 a.m. tomorrow for our special guest! The Hanarry West record holder and NCAA Champion will talk with the team about her experience as a swimmer.

Book Extravaganza – Go ahead and put those books in your car today! And bring them in with you to Fun Friday for one last summer reading extravaganza. We’ve already had swimmers asking this week about when more books will arrive!

Senior Posters – Be sure to sign all the posters for our seniors that we’ll display at next week’s meet.

Signs – In addition to our “Swimmer of the Week” and “Record Breaker” signs (please bring those back each week), we have “Personal Best” signs and “I swam a new event!” signs for proud swimmers to take pictures with during Fun Friday.
