Summer Splash

Hi SHARKS:

Congratulations on a GREAT SUMMER SPLASH. The SHARKS finished 2nd overall, and for the first time ever the Girls Team outscored the Boys Team, way to go SHARKS Girls! The boys still have a little bit of bragging rights, as they finished 2nd overall and the girls team finished 3rd. 

Congratulations to our swimmers for:

- First SWIMMEET = Christian Guillaume & Antoine Destang
-  Top 3 in age group =  Antoine, Anya & Clare
- Age group WINNER = Adriana, Katelin, Jyasi, Laura & Julien
- Age Group Records = Adriana (x2) = (200 Freestyle & 50 Backstroke), Katelin (100 FLY) & Jyasi (200 Breaststroke)

Our entire team swam really well as we had young swimmers who stepped up and swam new events for the first time including relays, and almost every swimmer had a fantastic swim as several best times were accomplished.

Thanks to all the parents who volunteered and the other parents and swimmers for making it a fun filled weekend of racing, cheering and team bonding. It was very different not having our senior swimmers at the meet, however we wish them all the best on all their new endeavors as we move fwd with a new identity.

Way to go SHARKS!  Just 6 weeks until The Short Course Championships, let's make it fun by making every day, every practice and every stroke count. KAIZEN...

Coach Jamie
