Hi Sharks Families,

If you’re receiving this email twice, it’s because you’ve already registered for the 2025 season—thank you! I wanted to make sure both returning and new families have all the key updates.

Fundraisers: Ducks are Back

With only two home meets this year (instead of three), our fundraising income is reduced. To help close the gap, we’re bringing back the Duck Races!

We’re looking for 10 race sponsors at $125 each. Sponsors will be featured on race tickets and recognized on Facebook. Please contact me at 540-908-0624 if you have a business that is interested. 

More information to come about this after we get race sponsors.

Concessions 

Thanks to Double Dragon, one home meet will have its main course covered. For the other, we’ll rely on food donations, as we’ve done in the past.

Volunteers Needed

Each family is asked to volunteer at least three times during the season. Swimming meets only happen with your help! If you don’t sign up, we’ll assign you a role later in the season.

Already signed up? THANK YOU!

Volunteer Opportunities:

Even simple things—like reminding your child to flush, wipe the seat, and keep the restroom tidy—go a long way!

Stroke & Turn Training

We can’t compete in meets without certified Stroke & Turn officials. This is a great way to get involved and enjoy the best view of the action! No registration needed, and it’s free to attend!
