Hello Sharks Families and Friends,

Please take the time to review all of the below. Please take special note of the equipment requirements & how to reclaim items left behind at the pool.

Great Time Trials Meet

What a great meet we had on Saturday and we were able to beat the rain, too! We thank the many volunteers that helped make our Time Trials meet a success. For our new families, we hope this meet gave you an idea of what to expect for the rest of our cabana season. For those with any remaining questions or concerns about our dual meets or roles and responsibilities when volunteering, please see Katie or Staci on deck. 

Swimmer's Results

Results for your swimmer's have been posted to SwimTopia. To access their results, please follow the instructions below:

Log into your account at Shadow Brook Sharks Swim Team website

Please click on "My Account" from the drop-down menu under "Welcome" in top right corner

Click on your swimmer's name

There you will find all of their events and times every swum with Shadow Brook Sharks

*Note: Swimmer's time logs will no longer be offered as all data is now available on-line.*

Swimmer's Ribbons

If your simmer does not want to receive Participation or Personal Best Ribbon(s) (Shark Kash will still be awarded, just without the ribbon), please provide the requested information at: Ribbon Recognition Withdraw Form. Please note, Personal Best Ribbons and Shark Kash will be awarded following our Dual Meet on June 8 and will be based on your times from our Dual Meet on June 1, not Time Trials.

Equipment

All swimmers are now required to bring their own long floating fins to their practices. Additionally, any fins, goggles and caps left on deck will be collected by the coaches at the end of practices. As the coaches have been telling the swimmers since our practices began on April 22 and as noted in our Team Handbook, to reclaim your swimmer's fins, goggles or caps, a fee of $1.00 per item will be requested (for example, a pair of fins = $2.00). This past week, the coaches have collected numerous pairs of fins and goggles. It is your swimmer's responsibility to look after their items - not the coaches. Please have your swimmers clean up after themselves by collecting their gear, throwing out their trash & stacking chairs.

Buddies

Buddy assignments are now posted at the pool. The Buddy Program offers your swimmer(s) the chance to be a Big or Little (and sometimes both) Buddy, and is intended to foster team spirit and connection among our swimmers. Being a Buddy involves making an effort to support and encourage each other by wishing your Buddy good luck before the meets as well as cheering them on during their races. We’d like to remind you that the intention of the Buddy Program is to encourage, mentor, guide and support our swimmers. Weekly gifts are not necessary or required. Please contact our Sharks Coaches with any questions or concerns.

Apparel & Swim Cap Orders

For those who placed an apparel or silicone swim cap order, your items are now available for pick-up. Non-personalized silicone Sharks swim caps are also available for sale for $14/each. Please see Deanna or Katie on deck.
