Hello Sharks,

I am getting super excited for our first HOME meet on Tuesday May 29 against the Garden Hills CoolSharks.  The pool will close at 3pm to allow the coaches time to set up for the meet.  All Roxboro Sharks should plan to arrive at 4pm.  Coaches will mark your swimmers with their events and we will warm up as a team at 4:30pm.  Parking in the lot is reserved so do not plan to park in the lot.  You will have the option of dropping your swimmer at the intersection of Roxboro and Lee, we will have older Sharks there to help escort our younger Sharks down the hill and to the pool deck.  After you drop your swimmer, please circle around and park per the attached parking map.  Please do not block driveways or intersections.  Please do not park on the outgoing side of Roxboro Dr.  Please do not park illegally on sidewalks or in yards.  The Atlanta City Police will be patrolling the neighborhood and will issue tickets and/or have illegally parked cars towed.  

Please volunteer for a shift at our meet.  Remember, if your swimmer is swimming in the meet, you are expected to work at least one shift.  Thank you.

Sign up now for our Roxboro Sharks REMIND text messages.  Text to 81010, @g699b  We will use this to advise our team at the meet in the case of inclement weather.

Concessions will be available for purchase at the meet.  Hamburgers, chips, drinks, candy and more.  Please bring small bills.  SharkBites will not be open during the swim meet.  

Bring dry towels, drinks and snacks your swimmer likes to eat.  Bring sunscreen.  Label everything!  You would be surprised what we find on the deck after a swim meet.  If it has your name on it, we will have a better chance reuniting you with your Roxboro Sharks tshirt, your flip flop, your water bottle or even your iPad.

We do have practice on Tuesday morning, beginning at 9am.  7&8's 9-9:45am; 9&10s 9:45-10:30am; 11+ 10-11am; 6&U 11-11:30am.

Our first MiniMeet for the 6&U's will be on Friday, June 1 during the regular practice time of 11-11:30am.  

Team, individual and/or sibling pictures are scheduled for Thursday, June 9 at 9am for all swimmers.  Please plan to bring your swimmer dressed in their team suit (if they have one) for our team picture at 9am.  

This season we are joining with swim teams all over the Atlanta area and raising funds with Swim Across America for Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.  We will have our annual lapathon on Friday June 22 during your swimmer's regular practice time.  I have attached the pledge sheet in case your swimmer wants to start collecting pledges now.  Last year, our team and swimmers sent $1000 to CHOA to help with this incredibly important fight against childhood cancer.

Any questions, please contact me via email.  GO SHARKS!
