Hello Sharks!

We hope all of our Sharks’ moms had a restful and wonderful Mother's Day!

Please take the time to review all of the below. And please take special note of how to reclaim items left behind at the pool.

Fun Fridays!

A special thank you to the Rebello Luz & Basanese Families for hosting our Fun Fridays on April 24 & May 1! It’s always great to see our Sharks parents mingle and our swimmers enjoying a nice treat after a hard week in the water. Spots are still available for our morning Fun Fridays once school is out for the summer.

Great Time Trials Meet on May 3

Congratulations to the Lee-Pidgeon Family for winning The Spot in the Lot! They will have a front-row, dedicated parking spot at all of our dual meets (home & away!). And thank you to Padma Heid & Jayne Willey for organizing this great fundraiser!

Thank you to all who attended and volunteered for our Time Trials meet on May 3. It was so nice to see the pool back in action and a great way for our new families (& veterans too) to see and experience the expectations of how our dual meets are run. A kind reminder of our volunteer policies can be found here.

For those with any remaining questions or concerns about our dual meets or roles and responsibilities when volunteering, please see Valerie or Katie on deck or email us at [email protected].

Attendance for Dual Meets & Champs

You must mark your swimmer’s attendance for every meet in SwimTopia

Attendance for our Home Dual Meet against Pinehurst is now closed. Affected families were sent 3 emails alerting them that swimmers who were left undeclared would be scratched from this weekend’s meet. No exceptions.

To mark your swimmer’s attendance for our upcoming dual meets, please use the following link:

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 May 23 and will be based on your swimmer’s times from our Dual Meet on May 16, not Time Trials.

Equipment

All swimmers are now required to bring their own long floating fins to their practices and kick boards are encouraged. 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 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 and personal items.
