Hi, Sharks! Can you believe swim practice starts tomorrow? 

As a reminder, before school is out, the practice schedule for Sharks is as follows: 

• 10 and under: 5:00–6:00 p.m. 
• 11 and up: 6:00–7:00 p.m.
• Practices will be held Monday through Thursday. 

Guppies practices will officially begin on Tuesday, May 27. However, if you believe your Guppy may be ready to swim a full lap and potentially qualify for the Sharks team, you are welcome to bring them to practice during this first week.

Coaches will be conducting evaluations throughout the week to determine appropriate team placement. Some swimmers may be moved up or down based on these assessments.

If a coach determines that your swimmer should move to the Guppies group, please understand that this decision is made with your child's safety in mind. 

Team Suits and Caps

Our team suits and caps have arrived! We’ll begin handing them out at practice tomorrow, and they will be available throughout the week. A big thank you to Christie Penland and Sharly Miller for their hard work organizing this. 

Volunteer Training

With the season starting, it’s time to start thinking about volunteer roles. Training and certification will be conducted online this year. Stroke and Turn training is already live.
