First Swim Meet!
Hello Tiger Shark Families!
Our first swim meet of the season is fast approaching, and we can't wait to see everyone swim fast on Monday! Here are a few important updates and reminders:
Spirit Wear
The Four Seasons Tiger Sharks Spirit Wear Store is open again! The store will close for the season at midnight on June 18, so please don't delay if you're planning to order. Please note that we must order a minimum of 12 items for our vendor to process the order.
11 & Older Swimmers
Please remember to wear sneakers or athletic shoes for dryland. Crocs are not an acceptable footwear choice for dryland activities.
6 & Under Swimmers
Thank you for your patience as we have navigated the exciting challenge of working with such a large group of young swimmers. Over the next few days, coaches will observe all 6 & Under swimmers who are declared for Monday's meet to confirm they can complete an unassisted 42-foot swim (one full lap).
Swim Meet Needs
We still need:
- 1 Lane Coordinator
- 1 Pasta Salad donation
Please consider helping fill these needs. Let Jackie or me know if you have any questions about the required meet support roles.
Meet Entries
Entries for Monday's meet close Saturday night. Please declare your swimmer's availability before that time.
Meet-Day Reminders
Please be aware that there is a strict no phones/cameras policy behind the starting blocks. Photos may be taken from the opposite end of the pool or from the sides of the pool.
Parents of younger swimmers, once your swimmer has checked in with the Lane Coordinator, please do not remain behind the blocks. We recommend moving to the opposite end of the pool, where you can meet your swimmer at the end of their race. After racing, swimmers are encouraged to check in with their coaches for a high five, feedback, and a little treat.
Swimmers should plan to arrive and be checked in by 4:45 PM on Monday.
Volunteers
Please check in with Jackie at the picnic table by the office when you arrive and be on time for your assigned shifts.
Concessions Donations
All donations should be dropped off by 4:00 PM.
After the Meet
We'll need everyone's help cleaning up after the meet to get the pool ready for the next day. If the weather cooperates, we may even have a night swim once everything is cleaned up!
Parking Reminder
Parking is always limited, so please park at Driscoll whenever possible. If you use street parking, be sure to park only on the permitted side of the street. The opposite side will be marked "No Parking" and is subject to ticketing.
Thank you, and we look forward to a great first meet of the season!
Go Tiger Sharks!
