Good afternoon Sharks,

Week 3 Practice sign ups are available!  This is the calendar view to make finding the dates easier. Click on the date you want to sign up and then find the right session and group.  You have to change the month to get to the rest of the week.

Volunteer Positions – Starting with next week when Virginia moves into Phase 3, we have eliminated the Social distance monitor position.  We will need to keep up social distancing inside the pool gates.  But swimmers (and parents) have been doing a good job of this. I have attached the Volunteer position descriptions to this email. Copies are available at the pool. Please review the duties before coming to practice.  One important thing to remember is that the Little Sharks volunteers will have to set up the table and get the supplies and the Big Sharks 2 volunteers will need to put the table and supplies away.

Cancellation Policy – Because we have a limited number of slots for swimmers at each practice, and sometimes practices are full, please be sure to remove yourself or your swimmer from the sign up if you find you cannot make it to practice.  Please do this as soon as possible.  But if you find this is a last minute cancellation, please email me or Coach Richard (rmorrell@harrisonburg.k12.va.us) to let us know.  If you need to cancel your signup for a volunteer position, please take the following steps: 

1. Remove yourself from the signup asap.
2. Look at the sign up and try to find someone who can take your place.
3. Post on Facebook that you need to find a replacement for your position, give the day and time.
4. Email me or Robin Anderson (ander2rd@gmail.com) so that we can email the swimmers that are signed up for that practice to look for a replacement.

Practice Cancellation – We will need to cancel practice if we don’t have volunteers actually signed up.  Please be sure to sign up for a volunteer position when you sign your swimmer up.  It should not be a problem to get just 2 volunteers per practice.  But it becomes very important to find a replacement if you find you cannot make it to volunteer.  Cancellation notices will be sent out by 9pm the night before for morning practices and by 2pm for afternoon practices.  This week, Big Sharks 1 is in danger of cancellation Thursday (tomorrow) morning.  Please sign up if you have a child in that practice.

Picture Day – Gitchell’s Photography will be at the pool on Thursday to take individual pictures.  Please fill out an order form before arriving to the pool.  These are available at practice.  Little Sharks (and siblings) please arrive at 6:45pm.  Big Sharks 1 and siblings, please arrive at 7:05.  Big Sharks 2 please arrive at 7:25.  We will limit the number of swimmers in the pool area at a time.  Make sure you check in for practice after getting your photos.

Go Sharks!
