Shark Families-

City Meet is almost here!  It is the culmination of all our hard work this season!  It will be amazing to see every single Shark swimmer at every age and experience level get a chance to compete in the most exciting meet of the year.  As you may know, this weekend is expected to be hot.  Unfortunately, we can't control the weather, but there have been plans to help manage the heat as best as possible given the situation.

Heat precautions:

• Hydrate:  Prepare your kids to drink lots of water.  We will have some extra water containers in the team tent area.
• Shade: There will be shade tents, but the pool will also be crowded.  Do your best to keep shaded.
• Sunscreen: Apply and Re-apply sunscreen every two hours minimum.
• Snacks:  Cold snacks can help swimmers stay cool.
• Earlier Meet Start:  The Meet Committee went through several options in the midst of the heat wave.  Rescheduling was not an option.  The meet was moved to start earlier and extra water and shade will be brought to meet.

Heat Sheets:  Heat Sheets, relays and other forms are attached.  They are also all posted on Swimtopia under City Meet.

Optional Friday Swim:  10 & Under swimmers who are competing in City Meet on Saturday can attend an optional pre-meet practice from 8-9 at SCCA.  Coach Tasha will be running practice.  It will take about 20 minutes and swimmers can show up any time in the hour to complete.

City Park Pool Party on Sunday from 6:15-8:15pm:  Please RSVP before the end of day on Wednesday to help us with planning.  RSVP here.

Thanks for your support.  It has been an awesome season so far.  Let's go crush it at City Meet!  Go Sharks!
