S PLASH !
Spring 2016
President’s Pen
S
oon it will be time for spring workdays and the opening of our tennis and swim facilities for
another great season in 2016. We look forward to seeing everyone at the pool and the courts
this year!
The PHRA Board has been active over the winter months on a number of issues. I’ll highlight a
few of them here, and you’ll find more information inside the newsletter on several of them.
 The Board made the leap this year to all-electronic distribution of the Splash newsletter. The
newsletter will be emailed to all Members and Renters who have shared their email address with
us, and also posted on the website for everyone else. The change saved us money in printing
and postage, and also the time that it took to manually affix labels and stamps, print labels, and
deliver the project to the Post Office.
 PHRA Rules: the Bylaws require the Board to establish rules of conduct for members, renters
and guests at our facilities, and members and renters sign an acknowledgement when you send
in your annual registrations to abide by the Rules. We’ve made some clarifying edits to the
Rules document and would ask each member and renter to read them. They are posted on the
PHRA website and will also be posted in the poolhouse during the season for reference by members and by the lifeguard staff. The article inside is only a summary.
 A significant effort to repair the tennis courts is now underway. This was deemed a higher priority than construction of a shade structure over the tennis seating area.
 We continue efforts to prevent unauthorized use of our facilities. Property locks for the gates,
poolhouse and tennis courts will be changed this spring. Shareholders and renters will be provided the necessary access information, and we ask out of respect for fellow authorized users
that everyone abide by the guest policy (see the Rules for details).
 Guest passes will not be used this year – a $5.00 guest fee is payable at the door. The only ex-
ception to this is that those who assist with spring work days will be given guest passes in return
for their contributions to preparing the property for the season.
 The Board has carefully investigated the feasibility of replacing the Tripps Run Bridge at Poplar
Drive that was removed during the stream restoration project a few years ago. The Board authorized design and permitting of the project so that we could get accurate and detailed estimates of
the cost. The permit was issued as the Splash was being finalized, and the final cost estimate
was within the amount budgeted, so the Board intends to proceed with the replacement this
spring.
 In an attempt to accommodate both lap swimmers and early season PH Crush practice needs, the
Board has authorized the swim team to use 4 lanes for practice on weekdays between Memorial
Day and June 24 from 4:00-6:00 PM.
The Registration form for the 2016 season is included with this year’s newsletter. Please note the
April 30 deadline for getting the for ms back to avoid late fees.
I want to close with a thank-you to my fellow board members for their volunteer time in support of
PHRA, and with a particular thank-you to Shari Kane, our PHRA Registrar. In many ways, Shari is
the glue that holds PHRA together. There are so many things that she does to handle the operations
of PHRA that many members never see, but they would be sorely missed if she weren’t taking care of
them. The membership is indeed fortunate to have Shari’s services – please say thank you to her
when you see her at the pool this season!

Notes
POOL CLEAN-UP DAY
All PHRA shareholders and renters are invited to show
pool/community spirit, meet other members, and save the
pool some money, by coming to the annual Spring Clean-up
Days.
Mark your calendar for our spring clean-up days on
April 23-24, with rain dates on April 30-May 1, and join
your fellow pool members at the pool any time between 9-5
each day. Spring clean-up is a time for everyone to work
together and support PHRA so we won’t have to hire contractors to do the work. It’s also fun to meet, get to know,
and work with fellow PHRA members.
There are many tasks which must be done before the
pool opens to guarantee a great year, including painting,
raking, mulching, miscellaneous repairs, and general cleanup in and around the pool house and grounds. We will have
a list of tasks, but if you have something you think needs to
be done, feel free to suggest it. Come with rakes, shovels,
gloves, pruners, leaf blowers, whatever you have which you
could use for one of the many tasks. We will supply paint
and brushes for those who paint. There will be pizza and
drinks at lunch for all participants.
Each shareholder or renter family who works 4 or more
hours will receive a book of 10 guest passes (one per family). PHRA Spring Clean-up is also an opportunity for students to earn credit for community service. Remember, to
get credit, everyone must sign in and out at the front desk.
Passes will be available at the front desk once the season
starts.
Guest Passes
PHRA will not sell guest passes this
year. Complementary guest passes will be distributed
only to members/renters working on clean-up day.
Each member/renter will be required to pay for
their guests at the door on the day you bring
guests. The cost to bring a guest to the pool is $5.00
per person per day. PHRA will accept checks or
cash. Payment must be made for each guest even if
they do not use the pool.
Any guests using the tennis courts must also pay
the $5.00 fee.
www.poplarheights.org
Family Share Policy
PHRA is a family pool. We realize that each member of the family may not use it the same way as other
members. Some only swim, some only play tennis,
some rarely come at all or only come to watch. Whatever the various members of your family do, PHRA
policy requires that the small family member fee is
paid for each member of the family residing at the
same address. If a family member has actually moved
out, such as a student at a distant school, that member
should not be listed, but must use a guest pass each
time they visit and use the pool facilities, including
tennis.
Lap Lane and Swim Lesson Rules
The Board recognizes that private-coaching lessons
provide a great opportunity for children to learn to
swim better and for our coaches and lifeguards to earn
additional income. Therefore, members and renters
may hire private coaching from PHRA swim team
coaches and lifeguards. Hiring outside private coaches
(i.e., non-PHRA members or staff) is not permitted.
Private coaching must not interfere with PHRA
Crush Course, NV Pools Lessons (NV Kids), or general swimming. Accordingly, lessons are limited to
available lap lanes and will not be allowed during
weekend peak hours from 1:00 - 5:00 pm, on holidays,
or special events.
At least one lap lane will be established at all times
except when PHRA is hosting a swim meet or special
event. A second lap lane may be added if needed or
requested, at the discretion of the Pool Manager and
based on the crowding level of the pool. Lap lanes are
restricted to lap swimmers and private lessons. Each
person may use the lap lane for no more than 45
minutes within any two-hour period. Swimmers under
18, except those taking private lessons, will yield one
lap lane to adults during normal operating hours.
In an attempt to accommodate both lap swimmers
and early season PH Crush practice needs, the Board
has authorized the swim team to use 4 lanes for practice on weekdays between Memorial Day and June 24
from 4:00-6:00 PM.

PHRA CRUSH Swim Team News
We are looking forward to another exciting
swim season. This summer, PH Crush will be
swimming in Division 9. The season will be
here before you know it!
PH Crush 2016 A Meet Schedule
Team Reps and Coaches
I'm very excited to announce that Shelly
Dubois and Mary Beth DeLuca will be our Bmeet team representatives this summer. They will be a very welcome
addition! We are fortunate to have Chris Parkhurst returning as our
Head Coach for a second season. I'm very happy to have Emily Ratzenberger joining the Poplar Heights coaching staff as our Assistant
Head Coach. Emily comes to Poplar Heights with six years of coaching experience at Cardinal Hill after being a swimmer there for twelve
years, including time as a junior coach. She also has a background in
working with elementary school students - Emily is a sixth grade
teacher and has been teaching at Marshall Road Elementary for the
last six years. With the addition of Beth Cashin and Nadia Critchley
as Assistant Coaches, we will have a very strong and enthusiastic
coaching staff this summer.
Dates to Remember
Swim Team Open House: Saturday, May 14th from 5-7 pm at
Poplar Heights. It is not necessary to come to the open house to register. However, we highly encourage families to attend the Open House
because Sport Fair will be there selling our team suit - which is new
this year! This will be your only opportunity to try on and buy the
new team suits at Poplar Heights. Otherwise, you will have to go to
the store in Arlington to purchase the team suit. New this year, we
will have a swim suit exchange for those of you who would like to
donate an outgrown practice suit in exchange for a bigger one. In
addition, the coaching staff will be there providing evaluations for
younger swimmers. This will be an opportunity to find out early on
which is more appropriate, swim lessons (provided by NVPools),
Crush Course, or swim team.
Happy Hour Mixer for Swim Parents: Following the Open House
on Saturday, May 14th, we will hold Swim Team 101 "class" and
Happy Hour mixer for parents from 7-8 pm. Whether you are new or
returning to the team, this is designed to answer all the questions that
you may have about the mysteries of how the swim team works. To
show how important we think this information is, we will be bribing
you to attend by providing treats (sorry, but it will be BYOB).
Swim team practices: Begin on Tuesday, May 31st after school.
Mandatory Time Trials will be Saturday, June 18th at 9 am. Morning
swim practices will start on Friday, June 24th, the day after school
gets out. Crush Course, which is designed for our younger swimmers
not quite ready for the rigors of the swim team, will start on Monday,
June 27th.Float Nights: Wednesday, June 29th and Wednesday, July
27th from 6-8 pm.

PHRA Waiting Lists
Poplar Heights continues to have a rental waiting list of over 450 applicants. All applications who apply are automatically listed on the waiting lists for both a rental and a share.
A rental now takes approximately three to four years to obtain, while a share takes five to
six years. Last year’s current renters were given the option to renew by February 26. PHRA
tries to accommodate applicants but there is a limit to the number of renters PHRA can allow in
accordance with its Articles of Incorporation.
PHRA contacts applicants by email if and when a spot becomes available. PHRA will
offer a limited number of August & September rentals again this summer. This process will
begin in late June. These short-term summer rentals do not guarantee a full rental next year.
After the summer season begins, the registrar will contact all applicants on the list to
see if they are still interested in joining PHRA. PHRA often discovers that some have moved,
some have joined other pools, and some are no longer interested.
