Sunday Night email blast!

May 22nd

Good Evening Shark Families,

We're excited for another week of practice! This is the last full week of practice before we have a swim meet! We'll have practice Monday through Friday with the same schedule as last week.

PLEASE READ THRU THIS WHOLE EMAIL – THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION!

VOLUNTEERS:

REMINDER **ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST TAKE THE TIMER CERTIFICATION TEST**

Online education study materials are posted at: https://sail.swimtopia.com/education-materials
Online tests are posted at https://sail.swimtopia.com/training

We are still looking for a couple people to volunteer to learn the Audio Set-up for home swim meets.

Volunteer info for GCC meet:

Next Friday, June 3, is our first swim meet. On May 26th, the Job Sign Up will be available for you to select your volunteer position for the meet. We require each family that has a swimmer participating to volunteer at least one parent for one half of the meet. You are more than welcome to have all parents volunteer, and you can volunteer for more than one half if you would like. It's first come, first served and some jobs go fast so go ahead and grab the job you want!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or our Volunteer Coordinator, Beth DuBose, at [email protected].

INITIAL MEET INFO: FRIDAY, JUNE 3RD is our first meet at home against Greenville Country Club. There will be a pool party after the meet!

You must declare your intent for your children to participate in the meet and if you are participating, sign up for a volunteer position. The meet entries will open THIS THURSDAY (5/24) and we need to know your intent by Saturday (5/26) BY MIDNIGHT.

So How Do I Sign My Swimmer Up for a Meet?

You’ll need to log in to Swimtopia and click the Meets & Events Signups tab. PLEASE READ “SIGNUP INSTRUCTIONS” BEFORE GOING TO THE SIGNUP CALENDAR. If you will not be at a meet, you must declare that you are not attending the meet. You may request up to 3 events that your child would like to swim in the meet, BUT the coaches will have the final say. You can also choose if you will be coming late or leaving early. You must do this on the website, cannot be done thru the app!
