Hi Sharks:
As always, we will be starting off the new school year and swimming season for 2013-2014 at The Summer Festival Swimmeet.
The Rodney Heights Aquatic Centre, will be hosting its annual end of Summer Swimmeet from Thursday, August 29th - Sunday, September 1st. The meet will be broken into 5 sessions and all sessions will be Timed Finals. There will be a meet fee of US$2 per event entered and you can take a look at the attached file to see what must be paid to the club treasurer or dropped into the Sharks box for each one of your swimmers. (There is also a US$5 fee per relay, where each swimmer on each relay team must pay US$1.25 per relay).
The Sharks coaching team will need to get confirmation of your swimmers participation prior to the Technical Meeting on Thursday, August 29th @ 3 PM, so please do so by responding to this email or informing your coaches at practice this week. Also attached is the Entry List for each swimmer, so you can confirm your participation or unavailability to swim over the weekend. (We will be accepting any swimmers who wish to swim and are not currently entered on the list, however you must indicate via email, or speak with Coach Clare or Coach David at the pool no later than Wednesday afternoon practice).
