Fun Split Team Meet
We are hosting a Split Team Fun Meet this Saturday morning, December 17th. Coach Dave will be sharing more of the fun details with us later!
We wanted to take this opportunity for the parents to also have some fun, learn a little about the volunteer requirements our club has for every swim meet we host and give parents a chance to win a free membership for next season!
For each swim meet we host, we require almost 40 volunteers per session. The Fall Splash, which we hosted in mid-November, included 4 sessions and required 160 volunteers! ( as a reference point, our club has about 140 parents) Our swimmers put up some great times and had a lot of fun and our club made over $4000! This could not happen with our parent volunteers.
Our club has a large number of new swimmers this year, which also means we have a large number of parents whom may be new to the sport.
With this in mind we are requesting all “veteran” swimming parents join the new parents on deck during the Split Team Fun Meet this Saturday morning, December 17th to explain some of the volunteer roles required for the swim meet. We will demonstrate the roles of timers, stroke & turn, starter, hospitability and meet manager.
All parents, Please email Chris at chris@palmers.ca before Thursday at 5pm so we have an idea of the parent attending. We would really like to see everyone contribute to help make our club stronger for our kids.
We have also sent by email the Family Volunteer ballot sheet so you will get a better understanding of how you can win a free membership for next season.
As a bonus, all volunteers that participate in this Split Team Fun Meet and our next home meet (Feb18th) will receive double ballots!

Quebec Results
WOW AM I TIRED - but that's not what I want to let you know. What was the real WOW !!!!! was the fact that 10 members of our Summerside Dolphins have just returned from the Rouge & Or Invitational as part of TEAM PEI. Our swimmers swam fantastic AND were extremely well behaved and a pleasure to coach. We had tons of personal best times, a number of final and consolation finalists. Chech the Journal Pioneer later this week for results. Great job !!!!!!
Quebec Swimmers Arrival Time
Hey sleepy parents - the bus is now on the bridge 515 am. They should be at the Read's Corner Esso at around 545.
