    Shark Bites Apr 30

    April 30th

    Happy Fiesta Shadow Cliff Sharks,

    Can you believe we are less than ONE week away from the FIRST day of practice?! Our coaches are looking forward to seeing all our sharks! PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGE FOR OUR 6 & UNDER SWIMMERS!!!

    ROOKIE SWIMMERS

    Please note that registration for the team ends on Monday, May 5th!! If your swimmer made the team, and has not been registered and paid for, your swimmer will not be allowed to practice. Last week we welcomed many new swimmers to the team, and we are looking forward to welcoming a few more at our last tryout on Monday, May 5th from 6:00-7:00pm. If your swimmer is UNDER 8 AND new to swimming on ANY swim team, please come to tryouts. No need to RSVP, just show up!

    NEW SWIMMERS

    All new swimmers will receive a white swim cap in addition to their team cap on the first day of practice. We will write their name on the white cap. This helps the coaches learn their names faster.

    PARENT MEETING

    We also held our Parent Meeting this past Saturday and gave out a lot of valuable information as well as answered many questions. I’m attaching the speeches given by Head Coach Sophie and myself. Please take the time to read through the information, and if you still have questions after, reach out to us.

    PRIVATE LESSONS

    We are not holding any pre-season clinics, but some of our coaches are available for private lessons this week/weekend. Please feel free to contact them if your swimmer needs some extra instruction prior to the first day of practice.

    GROUP SWIM LESSONS

    I’m attaching a flier for the Group Swim Lessons offered by our pool. This is an excellent program for siblings who are not on the team and others needing to learn to swim. If you have any questions please reach out to Assistant Coach Riley Spradling, whose contact info is on the flier.

    REPEAT (but important) ANNOUNCEMENTS:

    WEATHER

    We are always monitoring the weather at the pool. Please download the Swimtopia Mobile App. This is the FASTEST way to find out if the pool is closed, practice is canceled, etc. If you do not hear we have canceled practice, then we have not!
