Happy Monday, Sharks Families!

This is a VERY important email. PLEASE READ TO THE END!!!

Week 2 starts today and we have some exciting events coming up! Our Mock Meets will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Yes... we are watching the weather. PLEASE be sure to sign up for the REMIND by texting the word @fhsharks25 to the number 81010. If you've never used REMIND, you send a text message just like you would send a text message to a friend. The number to text to is 81010. The message you should send is @fhsharks25. Please see one of the parent reps for assistance if you are not sure how to do this. Registering for REMIND in this way will have ALL Sharks alerts sent to your phone as a standard text message. If we have to call practice (that means cancel or cut short) we will do that through the REMIND.

PLEASE DECLARE FOR THE MOCK MEETS!!!

We still have about 20 swimmers not committed for our 10 and Under Mock Meet and more than that on the 11O (thanks 15 and over boy parents... you guys ALL committed!!). That means you have not marked on the Swimtopia Website or App whether or not your swimmer will be attending. How do you do this? Here are the 2 ways... WITH PICTURES!

On the website:

On the app- MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOGGED IN and here are the steps:

JOB NEEDS: 7 more timers and 2 (AT LEAST) more marshaller for 10U and 10 more timers and 1 more marshaller for 11O. Do not be afraid to try something you haven't done before. The Mock Meets are the PERFECT time to learn a new skill!!

Please arrive on time for the Mock Meets... no later than 4:45PM. Coaches are going to treat this just like a regular meet. There will be swimmer check in, a starter, marshalling... PLUS our coaches will demo how a race in a meet works! They will give them some race etiquette and you and your swimmers will get to see the coaches show off their skills! Should be a really great, informative time.

In the event of Thunderstorms, we will try to make up the affected Mock Meet. Fingers crossed that we make it through both!

TEAM SUIT

If you haven't called Sport Spot to order your custom Team Suit, there MAY still be time. Give Gloria a call at (732) 747-0585 Your swimmer MUST wear a navy and red suit to our meets. If you have to get a suit anyway, you might as well get the custom team suit! Our suit looks like this:

Please remember that (aside from Sharks practice) the Swim Club is still closed this week. That means the super cute froggy pool, volleyball court, gaga pit are all off limits. Your swimmer may only swim in the pool during their assigned practice time. If you are members, when the club opens next week, you have access to the rest of the facility as well :-)

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE YMCA CHILD CARE PICKUP/DROPOFF AREA!! This can great a dangerous situation with our families with littles. Please park ONLY in parking spots in the parking lot and NOT along the curb. ALSO... The area painted with yellow stripes IS A WALKING PATH! Please do not park there!

If you registered before April 28th and have not yet picked up your FREEBIE T-SHIRT, please see a parent rep during practices today.

If you have not yet dropped off your WORKBOND CHECK please do so ASAP. Your swimmer may be excluded from meets if this is not completed. Please bring a $50 check made payable to Y Greater Monmouth Swim Team to practices and give to a parent rep.

See a parent rep during practice or reply to this email if you have any questions!

See you at the pool!!
