Good afternoon Sharks,

Here are the signups for next week: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040545adae2da6f49-sharks6

Remember to only sign up for 3 practices at first. After Saturday at 7pm, you can sign up for any open spot and have more than 3 practices.  But we need to give everyone a chance to sign up for 3 practices first so that we don’t close anyone out.  If you sign up for more than 3 before Saturday, you will be removed from any additional practices (our choice!).  So please wait until Saturday before you sign up for more than 3. 

The reason that we are restricted to 3 practices a week is because we have another MEET on Tuesday night!  This will be Freestyle and Breaststroke. Make sure you sign up by FRIDAY (that’s tomorrow) for the meet on Tuesday!  

We also need a few more volunteers.  We need a sweep judge for both sessions.  This person gets a clear view of all the action and records which swimmers come in 1st-6th in each heat.  It is a back up to our stop watch times.  We also need a runner for the 11&O session.  This person collects timer sheets halfway through the session.  That’s it!  The rest of the time you are free to watch the meet up close.

The same social distancing procedures will be in place with no spectators and volunteers and anyone inside the gates required to wear masks.  GREAT job following procedures this week.  You made me very proud of our team!  More instructions will come on the different volunteer jobs and the timing.  We will move the 11&O session up a bit since we went so quickly this week.

These are results JUST for our team.  We are still working on the technicalities of merging the other team’s results virtually.  So these are the places you will get.  Once we get the merged results, we will send them out and post them.  But what I want you to see is your improvement from your entry (seed) time!  Congratulations on your hard work this summer!  Keep working hard and try to improve your freestyle time each week.

Check the sign up before you come to practice each day to make sure you are signed up.  We have had several no shows and swimmers showing up without sign ups that are probably from looking at the wrong sign up or not remembering.

Go Sharks!
