We could not have been more proud of our Big Sharks both in and out of the pool. We can't wait to see what our Little Sharks will do on Saturday!

10 and Under Championships

10 and Under Championship meet will be held this Saturday at Monmouth Heights swim club on Elton Adelphia Rd. in Freehold. Arrival time is 6AM. WE KNOW THIS IS VERY EARLY but this is going to be a long meet as it is. If your swimmer will be late, please let us know ASAP so that we do not scratch him or her from the meet. If your swimmer is scratched after today, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE MEET FEES!

All 10U Championships fees are due no later than TODAY at practice times. Cash, check made payable to cash, Venmo (@nmidura) and Zelle (ask for more info if you'd like to use this option) are your payment options. Please check the attached pdf file to verify your total meet fees!

WORKBOND & VOLUNTEERING

MANY of you still need points. Please see a parent rep to collect our workbond check if your name is on the list in the picture below. If your name does not appear (and you have not already picked up your workbond) YOU HAVE NOT FULFILLED YOUR REQUIREMENT! Please ask a parent rep if you are unsure. WE STILL NEED 5 MORE TIMERS PLUS OTHER VOLUNTEERS FOR THE MEET ON SATURDAY!! There is still time to complete your workbond responsibilities! Not everything earns a point... volunteering your TIME is what counts towards points! PLEASE ASK IF YOU ARE UNSURE!

COACHES' GIFT

There is still time to contribute to the coaches' gift! Our coaches work so hard and show your swimmers so much love, kindness and care. Please help to show them how much we appreciate all that they have done for our swimmers. If your swimmer would like to write a special thank you note or card to a particular coach or 2 with whom they have grown especially close, we will have gift bags our at the Pizza Party. Feel free to tuck a little note inside for a special coach!

See you at practice tomorrow <3
