2021 Season / practice & meet schedules
Hello 2021 Roxboro Swim Sharks,
The days are getting longer and warmer, and I am getting more and more excited for swim team! There is a lot of information in this email, so please read it all. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]
It is after a great deal of consideration that Head Coach Jesse Lewis and I have made the decision to postpone the start of swim team practices to Monday May 10. We apologize now for any inconvenience this may cause you. As of today, we have over 180 swimmers registered and in order to provide a safe and fun experience for all, it is best that we delay our start to May 10. This is not unusual as we typically do not start pre-season practices until 2 weeks before our first meet. We have added a 10 minute optional dryland before our 7/8’s, 9/10’s and 11+ practices. Starting our practice schedule on May 10 will give us ample time to prepare for our first meet on May 25.
May/Afterschool practice schedule. Beginning Monday May 10, (except Tuesday May 25 for Swim Meet), every Monday-Thursday afternoon.
