    We are looking forward to our first official Home Meet against PiedmontBend on Wednesday, June 12th.

    There’s a lot of information in this email. Here is what to look for in this email:

    *Home Meet Against PiedmontBend

    *Bake Sale

    *Volunteers Needed

    *Junior Sharks

    *Swim Photos

    Home Meet Against PiendmontBend:

    Our first official Home Meet is this Wednesday, June 12th.  More details on when to check in, warm up and parking to follow on Monday.

    Please RSVP attending or not attending by Monday, June 10th. You can do this by going to the website: https://somersetsharks.swimtopia.com/ We will still need volunteers at away meets so please sign up! We always need more volunteers for home meets so if you haven’t hit your requirements for volunteering please make sure to sign up.

    If you are RSVP that you are attending, please attend. We understand that sickness happens but if it does, please text me (304)593-2138 or send an email ASAP. If you are kid is feeling under the weather and you are uncertain if you are going to be there let us know by Tuesday morning. That way when we are making the heat sheets, we do not put your child in a relay. Once you are at the meet, do not leave until all of your events are finished. Leaving early leaves a relay team without a person which means those that stayed to swim cannot swim and this hurts three other kids. If you do not want to stay for those late relays you can make a note in SwimTopia that you are leaving early, not available for late relays.

    Bake Sale:

    We are wanting to upgrade the Somerset Sharks timing system for next year. As well as make other improvements for the swim team. We plan to have several fundraisers for this to happen. Our first fundraiser will be a bake sale. We will be selling the bake sale items at our concession stand at Wednesday's home meet. Publix bakery is donating the baked goods but we need your help individually wrapping each item. Want to help wrap items while your child is swimming during Wednesday’s practice?
