Hi Sharks Families,

We’re so excited to dive into the season with our Sharks Kick-Off Party this Friday, May 16th from 5:30–7:30 PM at the pool!

Here are a few important reminders to help the evening go smoothly:

🏊 Kick-Off Party Details:

• Free swim from 5:30–6:30 PM
• Buddy meet-up at 6:30 PM – swimmers will get to meet their buddy and fill out a fun “Get to Know You” sheet!
• Bring your own dinner for your family – we’ll provide popsicles for the kids
• You do not need to bring a buddy gift for this event
• If your child can only attend the buddy meet-up at 6:30 PM, that’s totally fine—we’d still love for them to come!
• Note for younger swimmers: Please prepare your little ones that their big buddy might not be there, and that’s okay. They’ll still have a great time and will be introduced soon if they miss this one.

🏊 Friday Practice Schedule (May 16):

• Practice IS ON for: 6 & unders, 7/8's, 9/10’s, and 11/12’s
• No practice for 13–18s

🎁 Buddy Gifts:

• First buddy gift should be brought to Time Trials on Sunday, May 18
• Suggested spend: ~$5
• Plan for buddy gifts at each swim meet, with a larger gift for the Championship Meet

🥞 Upcoming Event:

• Pancake Breakfast – Monday, June 2 from 10:00–12:00
  • Sign-ups for volunteering and food donations will go out this weekend
  • Free swim for all swimmers after breakfast is served

Thanks for helping us kick off the season with great energy—we can’t wait to see all of you on Friday night!

Go Sharks! 🦈
