Spot in the Lot Raffle!
Back by popular demand you will have the chance to win a prime parking spot at all FIVE Dual Meets! $20/ticket. A parking space will be reserved for your family close to the entrance of the host pool at the Dual Meets - mornings get extremely busy on the day of a meet and parking can be difficult to find. Tickets can still be purchased at Photo Day and Time Trials! The Winner will be announced at the end of Time Trials, Saturday, May 11!
Fun Fridays!
Fun Fridays are a great way for our swimmers to celebrate their week of workouts and fun in the water. Additionally, it is a wonderful opportunity for parents to mingle and get to know their fellow Sharks parents better. We thank the Mou and Hanchett Families for hosting our May 3 Fun Friday. There were lots of parents on deck & Sharks in the water! We hope to see you on deck on Friday, May 10! Want to host? Please sign up at 2024 Fun Fridays! or contact Valerie Waagen for more information.
