Hello Shark Parents! 

Thank you to everyone that has paid the registration fee and elected to be a sponsor of the team. Your donation is truly essential for a successful season and we are beyond grateful for your support. Your athletes did an amazing job of arriving on time for media day - many thanks! I will pass along access to the photo gallery as soon as I receive it from the photographer. As always, we have a busy week ahead, so please read through the following information carefully and reach out with any questions: 

• There is mandatory practice for all swimmers this week on Friday, August 21st at Mickler Beach at 6:15AM. **Breakfast will be provided by Easy Acai-Looking ahead, regular mandatory practices are every Tuesday for Girls, every Thursday for Boys (unless Coach Kyle indicates a change for the week). 
• The team registration of $375 must be paid before 8/21 or else your athlete cannot participate in the Blue vs. Black meet. 
• Blue vs. Black intrasquad meet is Saturday, August 22nd. Warmups: 3:00, Meet start: 4:00pm Please be on the lookout for the volunteer signup.
• Parent meeting immediately to follow the conclusion of the Blue vs. Black meet (estimated 5:30pm). 
• Vincenzo's Cucina is providing FREE PIZZAS to our athletes after the parent meeting. Let's all head there for some great food, social time off the pool deck and to support our amazing sponsor (approximate time 6-6:30pm)!
