Hello Sharks!

A friend of mine reminds me every year, you will know it is June when the Swim Team Manager is laughing and having fun at a swim meet. June came a day early this year, Tuesday May 31 to be exact, as I was laughing and having fun at our Roxboro Sharks at Brittany Club Barracudas swim meet. It was a great night. I saw great examples of sportsmanship, hard-work, good attitude, respect and kindness - the five pillars of our S.H.A.R.K. award. I am proud of our swimmers and coaches. I am thankful to our volunteers. We lost the meet by a very small margin of points, but we won in so many other ways. Way to go SHARKS!

Please sign up NOW for our next meet#2, Roxboro Sharks vs Hammond Hills Hammerheads on Tuesday June 7. Signups for swimmers will close at 11:30pm today, Friday June 3. While you are signing up your swimmer, please be sure to volunteer for the meet.

A special note about volunteers. All families are expected to volunteer. It is a simple rule, if your swimmer is swimming the meet, please volunteer. There are some roles that must be filled as per the league rules, those include timers, place judge, judges recorder, master recorder, deck manager, computer operator, and announcer. For a home meet we also provide a concession stand. If we are unable to fill the required roles first, we will eliminate some roles and services such as the concession stand. Alison Strok, Volunteer Coordinator, and I have been looking at the numbers of swimmers signed up to swim next week and this looks to be a small group. We are in the process of merging some of our bullpens and moving some volunteers from bullpen to the other league required roles. Please be flexible and gracious as we make these changes. There is no job that will prevent you from seeing your swimmer race. Thank you

May31-June/Morning practice schedule. We practice every Monday-Friday morning thru June 27. There will be a modified practice schedule June 28-29 for those swimmers participating in the ASA League Championship on June 30.
