From Our Sharks Coaches:

• Order of events: Medley Relay, Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Freestyle, Free

Relay

• Relays will be happening at the beginning and end of the meet. Relay swimmers will be announced during the meet and may change.
• DO NOT leave the meet early unless it is approved by a coach, we need swimmers to stay in case they will swim in a relay and to cheer each other on
• Swimmers will swim a maximum of three events (decided by coaches), and are only allowed to scratch an event if approved by a coach
• Swimmers should write down their events and line up at the clerk at the course before their event begins
• Swimmers should be welcoming to the other team and be respectful by staying in the water until all swimmers touch the wall (25 yd) or the next heat dives over (50 yd)
• And remember to swim fast!!! GO SHARKS!!

Swimsuits and caps. 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.

Swimmer's Ribbons. If your swimmer 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. 

Parent relays. Remember to bring your suit. We'd love to see both a men's and women's parent relay at this meet. And we'd love to reclaim the beloved Relay Towel!

Volunteering. Shifts coming soon. Thank you to Sibel for keeping us all organized!
