VOLUNTEERS: As with every other sport, the Sharks need volunteers. Positions range from timer to concessions to runners to stroke & turn judges. If you have any interest in any volunteer position, please contact Sharon Armentrout (271-1389, armentrout.sharon@va.sysco.com) – there will also be sign up sheets at Fun Day and the Ice Cream Social.

CONCESSIONS: At each of our home meets, we will provide concessions. This is an excellent fund raising opportunity for us and keeps the cost of our program to a minimum. This year we will need parent volunteers to cook/serve during the meets, and we are hoping to get LOTS of volunteers – the more folks we have helping out, the less time each will need to work! Also, we will need some food to be donated by parents – the more donations – the more money we have for the kids! We will need the following donations for home meets:

Drinks: Gatorade (20 oz.), Water (16 oz.), Coke Products (cans)

Pasta Salad

We are well-known for our Taco Salad (my personal favorite!) and we will need the following items donated in order to keep providing it on the menu:

30 pounds of ground beef.

2 – 70 oz containers of Salsa (available at Costco)

1 5 pound bag shredded cheddar cheese (available at Costco)

10 large bags nacho chips

2 – #10 cans (1 gallon) cheddar cheese sauce

Taco seasoning (store brand is fine)

3 bags of salad mix (available at Costco)

Manwich

 

Please contact Julie Jones julanddarren@gmail.com to let her know what you are willing to donate. Sign up sheets for concession donations will also be available at Fun Day and the Ice Cream Social.

Through the years the team and its coaches have taken a great deal of pride in the progress that our young swimmers have made between the very first, often bone-chatteringly chilly, practice and the culmination  of the season at Champs. The pride these young swimmers and their parents feel the first time the kids swim the length of the pool without stopping is indescribable. Safety is of course our paramount concern, and for this reason new swimmers must be able to swim the length of the pool by the end of the first week of practice without assistance. For new swimmers who are not able to meet this requirement but are interested in learning, lessons are available through the Broadway Pool. If you have any questions please direct them to Coach Collins.
