Dear Shark Families,

We hope you are all doing well and staying healthy during these crazy times.  As the weather warms up, we are all dreaming about swimming. I wanted to give you an update on the Sharks swim team season.

As of now, the governor has a stay at home order through June 10.  We are hopeful that Broadway pool will be open at that time. Depending on the restrictions for crowds, we are hoping to be able to have a swim season. It may be a shortened season with fewer meets, or it may be a season with no meets at all. We are going to try to hold as much of the season as we can while following the guidelines for safety.  At this time, I don’t have much more than that to tell you.  I will keep you updated on what the Board of Directors is thinking as we move through these unprecedented times.  I will send another update mid-May and another at the beginning of June.  You are welcome to send me questions, but the most likely answers are going to be “I don’t know” and “We will have to wait and see”.

While you are staying at home, we would like to invite your swimmers to work on the contest for the Sharks 2020 t-shirt!  Here are the rules:

• One entry per swimmer
• Design MUST be on PLAIN 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper (printer paper or cardstock is fine)
• Design must be limited to 2 colors. Black and white is fine but at most 2 colors

Hang onto your entries until swim season starts.  We may need to have the contest and voting online.  I’m sure you can come up with some creative entries for this unusual year!  Put your thinking caps on!

The Board is also looking for more people interested in helping with the season. We have different jobs available outside of the regular meet volunteer positions.  If you have been with the team for a year or more, consider attending a Board meeting and seeing what else is out there!  Let me know if you are interested.

If you would like to be removed from this email list, please respond with “Remove” and the email you would like to be removed.  If you know someone who should be added, please send me their email or have them email me.

Thank you!  Stay safe and stay healthy! We hope to see you this summer!

Go Sharks!

Beth Arnold and the Sharks Board of Directors
