Welcome, Sharks! Important Info to Begin Our Season 🦈
Hey, Sharks!
Now that swim team registration is officially closed, we have several important updates to share with you. This is your first taste of the info-packed emails you'll be receiving throughout the season. Thanks in advance for reading closely.
Parent Pre-Season Meeting – Sunday, April 27 at 2:00 PM
We will hold an online meeting for parents where you can meet the coaches and hear from a few of our board members about the upcoming season. We will send out the meeting link soon.
Practice Begins – Tuesday, May 6
Before school is out, practice times will be as follows:
- 10 & Under: 5:00 to 6:00 PM
- 11 & Up: 6:00 to 7:00 PM
- Days: Monday through Thursday
- Location: Pebble Creek Swim Club, 103 Pebble Creek Dr in Taylors
Evaluations for younger swimmers will take place throughout the first week of practice.
Please remember: swimmers must be able to swim a full lap unassisted to remain at the Sharks level. If a swimmer is not quite ready, coaches will place them in our Guppies program for skill-building.
If your swimmer is currently registered for Guppies but you think they may be ready for the Sharks team, feel free to bring them to practice May 6 through 8 for an evaluation.
Big Sharks / Little Sharks
One of the most exciting parts of our season is the Big Sharks / Little Sharks buddy program. Older and younger swimmers will be paired to exchange small gifts and cheer each other on.
We are keeping it simple this year: no themed meets, just a general gift suggestion list. If your swimmer plans to miss more than two meets, please do not sign up for this program.
- Sign-Up Deadline: Sunday, May 11
- Big/Little Reveal: Sunday, May 18 at 3:00 PM at Half Mile Lake Pool

Team Suits
Team suits are available now at Alpine Ski Center. Stop by to try them on. This is year one of a two-year suit, so it will be the same style next season.
- Sharks-level swimmers: Team suits are required for meets
- Guppies: Team suits are not required unless your swimmer moves up to Sharks. The Guppy meet does not require a team suit
- Deadline to order from Alpine: Saturday, April 26
Thanks for being part of our swim team community. We are looking forward to a great season.
Fear the Fin,
The PCHM Swim Team Board
