News and Notes - Week of June 5
Hello Sharks Families!
Way to go, Sharks! We won the High Point Award against the Creekside Cudas this past Saturday AND the Improve Times Award too! Great job and keep up the great effort, Sharks! Ribbons and complete results can now be found in the family files at the pool.
Thank You!
We are very fortunate to have so many wonderful families willing to assist in a moment's notice! Thank you to the Zhao Family for hosting our ice cream social on June 3 as well as the Tompkins, Murphy, Zhang and Tang Families for hosting our Fun Fridays these past two weeks! We love our Sharks community spirit and we thank you for your contributions to see it in full swing!
Away at Pinehurst
This weekend (June 10), we are away at the Pinehurst Piranhas. Reminder! There will be a High Point Award as well as Improved Times Award. So please ensure your swimmer doesn't miss their race(s) or simply decides not to swim a certain stroke as an empty lane will only hurt our overall team's improved time percentage.
- All swimmers need to arrive by 7:15 AM with warm-ups beginning at 7:45 AM & team meeting at 8:15 AM.
- Please be sure to check in with your Coach prior to leaving the meet!
- When competing, your swimmer should only be wearing Sharks or solid-colored suits and caps. No suits or caps with any other club or high school team or name lettering. And please, no rash guards.
- Attendance is NOW DUE (declare your swimmers are or are not attending this meet). Please see complete instructions below.
- Ice Cream Social at Shadow Brook after our meet with Pinehurst!Please email Katie Ciciarelli or Valerie Waagen with questions.
