Shark Parents,

Today is the first meet of the season! The meet will begin at 6:00 pm. Athletes can arrive at 4:30 to begin checking in. Warm-ups will begin at 5. Junior Sharks get to swim at this meet and their race begins at 5:45 pm. Junior Sharks do not need to warm up so they can arrive right before their swim.  Swimmers need to come in their swim suits and goggles. Goggles are required. Remember, you CANNOT wear any suit or cap with another team name or logo.

The parking lot in front of the pool will be closed. Please park along the road and follow the signs indicating where to park. The tennis courts and the spillway are off limits. Please let your children know and watch the for their safety.

Please bring a sharpie to write your lane and heats! Not sure how you should do this? Check the attached photo and if you have any doubt a coach can help.

When you arrive, please see the coaches so they can hand out an event slip. This will give you the assignments to write with the sharpie. You can also use the SwimTopia app ahead of time to see your child’s events and even track their times throughout the season. More details for the app can be found at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swimtopia/id881521818

Concessions will be open tonight and it's a great place to eat dinner! Want to know what your dinner options will be? Check the menus in the attachments. The concession uses cash or Venmo.
