T Shirts & Caps

ATTENTION ALL SHARKS PARENTS AND SWIMMERS:

We are in the process of organizing a new TEAM T-SHIRT for the year for all Sharks Swim Club Members. The cost per T-shirt will be $25 and like the last one, we assure you we will come up with something FUN-ky. (As you can see, this is why Tom usually writes these emails, cause he's actually funny).

In addition, we still have SHARKS Swim Caps left over from our last order and they are in brand new condition. The caps are durable black silicon material with the SHARKS Logo in white on each side and they look great on our swimmers at meets and practices. The caps also run $25 and there are only 20 left, so please respond to this email if your swimmer is interested, or come prepared to purchase one at our next swimmeet on Sunday, MARCH 18th. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

If you are interested in purchasing BOTH, its $50 for the T-SHIRT and CAP.

We highly recommend that everyone buys a T SHIRT as we would like ALL of our swimmers dressed up in our New Team Gear ready to participate or come cheer on their teammates at the RHAC Invititational Swimmeet at the end of MARCH. We have many new members who have joined this year, and some returning members, so we would like to take a new team picture to update our website with our old and new faces.                                                                                                                            

Looking forward to a busy and Exciting month of swimming...GO SHARKS!

  

Kind Regards,

Jamie

Pitons Challenge

Please be advised that the Southern Flying Fish Swim Club has decided to postpone the Pitons Open Water Swim. The proposed date is Sunday March 25th.

Also, coming up on the Calendar this month:

1) Go the Distance Swimmeet - Sunday February 26th 

Our SHARKS Coaches continue to work on improving the technique of all our swimmers, as well as introducing the importance of a positive attitude and setting SMART goals.

We are encouraging all of our swimmers to challenge themselves to compete in a race they have never done at the GO THIS DISTANCE meet, as many of them can now complete 4, 8 and even 16 laps of Freestyle with more ease due to their improvement in technique and their understanding of being more efficient in the water. Please encourage your kid(s) to come and support their team as swimmers and as spectators if you or your swimmer decides to sit this meet out.

2) MOVIE NIGHT at the Spiegelbergs (in Rodney Heights)

We are still finalizing details, but this is a tentative notice to leave Tuesday 21st of February open on your calendar. Further details will be sent out in respect to the time of the event as well as organizing a pot luck for a small feast for our swimmers, coaches and parents.

Thank you for your continued support of the best swim club in Saint Lucia...GO SHARKS!

Coach Jamie
