Hello Sharks,

We are near the end of what has been another incredible summer swim team season. This email is full of schedule highlights and deadlines so please take the time to read it all.

Tuesday June 20, 2023: Meet#4, Roxboro vs Briarwood. We will close the parking lot and pool at 3pm and quickly reset for our swim meet. Sharks arrive at 4pm, warmups at 4:30pm and meet starts promptly at 5:30pm. Briarwood is bringing a lot of Barracudas to swim so we will utilize the sports play court for their bullpen area. Concessions will be available to purchase, cash or venmo. We will celebrate our high school seniors at the conclusion of the meet with the traditional “Senior Swim”, followed by a one-hour free swim for all of our Sharks.

Wednesday June 21, 2023: Entries are due for the timed finals ASA Championship meet at Georgia Tech. This is a firm deadline for signups on Wed June 21 at 11:30pm. Roxboro Sharks are scheduled to swim the morning session at GaTech on Thursday June 29. Our on-deck time could be as early as 7:00am. The meet will start at 9:30am and end at approximately 12noon. This is one of seven sessions our league hosts at GaTech. Parents and spectators will not sit with our Sharks in their bullpen. The coaches and I will be responsible for the swimmers getting to the designated ready area for every race and then getting them back to the bullpen after every race. Swimmers MUST be able to swim the full event without any assistance. You can select your swimmer’s individual events and pending entry numbers, Coach William will build relay lineups. If you have any questions, please reach out to me directly at [email protected]

Thursday June 22, 2023: Roxboro Sharks Lapathon to benefit the national organization Swim Across America and the fight against cancer. Please encourage your swimmer to ask for per lap pledges or flat donations for this worthy cause. It is amazing to me how much our Sharks improve in endurance, confidence, and skills after just 5 short weeks of swim team. Each age group will swim laps during their normal practice time. Even our 5 and 6 year olds will count their laps as every single lap can make a difference in this fight against cancer. We will have music to keep us going and fun prizes for everyone. Please make donations to our team page with Swim Across America at Roxboro Sharks for SAA
