Hi Shark Families!

We hope everyone has had a great first two days of practice.  It has been so sweet to see the excitement and smiles even through shivers on the pool deck.  Our assistant coaches (Carleigh, Ella, Emily, Emma, and Kathleen) are doing an outstanding job of getting our swimmers ready and excited for the season to come.  You may also see some junior coaches (Ansley, Caroline, Charlotte, Grant, Olivia, and Oliver) on the deck and in the pool helping as well.  Our head coach Camille arrives Thursday from college, and we are all excited to have her back!

Swim Team Parking is…always a challenge.  We (and the HOA) appreciate you leaving the handicap spots open and not parking in the circle.  We also know it can be a pain to park on the side streets and walk in with all your gear.

So this year, we have a solution…for two lucky swim team families!  We are auctioning off 2 reserved swim team parking spots for the entire season!  Our coaches will put your reserved blue cones out every morning before practices and before every home meet, so that you never have to worry about where to park.

Starting tomorrow at practice, we will be selling $20 raffle tickets for the chance to win 1 of 2 reserved spots for the remainder of the Shark season.  All raffle ticket purchases must be cash only.  The last day to purchase a ticket is Wednesday, May 20.  All proceeds from this auction will go directly to the coaches bonuses at the end of the season. 
Winners will be drawn at 9:00 am after the 6U Time Trials on May 26.  You do not need to be present to win.
