Good Evening Shadow Cliff Sharks,

This is our 3rd week of practice. Last week was a busy week with our Spirit Night at Willie’s and our Swim Team Kick-Off Party. Thank you to all our families that ate at Willie’s on Weds, and/or donated items for the party, and/or volunteered to help make our team party amazing! Our season can only be successful if everyone pitches in and volunteers in some way or another. We are very grateful for our volunteers because we can’t do it without you!

We have the Memorial Day holiday coming up so no practice on Monday, May 27^th. And before you know it, it will be time for our first swim meet! So please read through this email and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

***MEETS & EVENTS SIGN UP- see attached document for information 

DECLARE FOR SWIM MEETS- All swim meets are now open to declare whether your swimmer will be swimming or not. PLEASE let us know if your swimmer will be attending a meet, as this information is needed to plan what events they will be participating in. If you know your schedule for the summer, feel free to declare for every meet now. You can always go back and change it if you need. We will close the meet entries on the Tuesday, May 28^th for our first swim meet on Saturday, June 1^st! We can’t make changes after that. Also, although your swimmer has to be selected to swim at CHAMPS, please let us know if they are available. Things come up, and sometimes a person may not be able to swim at Champs, and we look to see who is available.

SIGN-UP FOR JOBS- This is now open for the first meet! Remember that the food we sell at swim meets is by donation so all profits can go back to the swim team! Please sign up to bring a donation, and/or sign up for a job at the swim meet. We simply can’t run the swim meet without volunteers. If you have ANY questions about what each job entails, please feel free to reach out and ask me or any of the swim team volunteers! We are the people wearing name badges, (when we don’t forget to put them on). 

USA SWIMMING ID- Our team registrar needs your help! If your swimmer is swimming on a club team (AAAA, Wave, Streamline, etc), they WILL HAVE a USA Swimming ID. We need to have it added to our roster. We have to submit our roster to the Lone Star Summer Swim league data entry person for her to verify our swimmers. Please fill this form out if your swimmer has a USA Swimming ID number! https://www.shadowcliffsharks.com/swimmer-verification

WATER BOTTLES- Please encourage your swimmer to bring their water bottle to practice! As the temperatures continue to rise, we want them to stay hydrated. 

Thank you for reading this all the way through. Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be seeing you at the pool!

Regards,

Angie Cox
