Practice schedule and upcoming events
Hello Shark Families!
It seems that despite the cooler evenings and water temps, plus the smoke from the north causing cancellations, we've had a pretty great first couple weeks of practice. The swimmers are looking great in the water, and it will be very exciting to see all the improvements as the season continues! The coaches and reps are appreciative of your patience while we wade through the weeds of early June. It is a notoriously hectic time in the summer swim team world, as coaches gauge the levels of new and returning swimmers, reps are trying to reconcile practice times and pool closings (oops), and swimmers and families are getting used to new routines and maneuvering through end-of-school/beginning-of-
Oh snap! It just so happens that this Friday (June 16th) after OUR FIRST MORNING PRACTICE our awesome volunteers will have an ice cream bar set up for the swimmers AND our team spirit shark sheet will be ready for decorating.
That's right, we chose to change it up and begin the morning practices this Friday, so as not to interfere with the pool's late Friday closing.
From Friday, June 16 to Friday, July 21 practice groups will be as follows:
- Group 1 (Blacktips): 8am – 8:40am
- Group 2 (Makos): 8:40am – 9:20am
- Group 3 (Great Whites): 9:20am – 10am
- Please have your swimmers check with Coach Nastya on which group they should attend.
- Please declare your swimmers' attendance for the upcoming meet at Admiral Heights - go to https://southdown.swimtopia.com/swim_meets and click on the green Meet Entry button to let Coach know your family status.
- While you're there, don't forget to sign up for a volunteer job for at least one half of the meet (both halves are better - feel free to switch up if you want to get a feel for different jobs).
- Mark your calendar for the upcoming Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on June 23rd.
