    5.24.24 information for the week ahead

    May 24th

    5.24.24

    Here we go! Lots of information below so please take your time to read through this email. As always, feel free to ask questions!

    Coaching Staff:

    We are thrilled to have the return of head coach Katie Sallee who has been with the Sharks for many years. Also on deck will be Assistant Coach Josie White and Jr. Coaches Reese Skiles, Ava McCoy, and Caroline Klotz. All of whom have been StH Shark Swimmers and know and love our program.

    Calendar:

    • May 28, 8:30 - New Swimmer Evaluations & New Parent Meeting in the shady spot behind the baby pool side of the property. Please bring a chair and your questions. Members of the board will be there to assist.
    • May 29 - all Sharks in the pool for the first day of practice 😁
    • May 29 is also the last day to register for the team.  Share our registration link with anyone who may be interested!
    • May 30 - Movie Night @AMC CLASSIC Majestic 12 to see IF (time TBD).  Free parking is available in the garage next to the theater.

    Practice:

    • Send swimmers to practice in their suits, ready to go (the restrooms are not always open).
    • It is best to park in the lower parking lot since the upper gate will always be locked.
    • Big Sharks will start practice at 8am, and swimmers 8 and under start at 8:30am. Everyone will finish by 9:30, but sometimes the little Sharks finish early as they slowly build up the stamina to remain in the pool for the whole hour.
    • Swimmers may wear any one piece bathing suit (it does not have to be the team suit at practice). Remember to bring goggles and a towel.
    • It is often chilly getting out of the pool in early summer so be prepared with warm clothes.
    • During practices, parents are welcomed to watch from outside the pool area. It may be difficult for you to leave your little swimmer on deck but please consider taking a walk in the neighborhood, take the time to do the grocery shopping or sit in the shady spot on the hill to read a good book. We ask this so the coaches and swimmers can focus on practice without interruptions. If you are on deck, someone will ask you to leave so please save us all the bother and stay off deck. Thank you!
    • Upon the end of practice, it is very important that we clear the pool deck and bathrooms by 9:30 so the pool staff can prep for the day. In other words, please do not plan on changing at the pool.
    • If you are a pool member and plan on staying to play, please leave the area until the pool opens at 10:00. We are so appreciative of our StH home pool and want to continue to keep our positive, symbiotic relationship. Did you know that StH swimmers who join the pool as new members get a discount? https://stuartheightspool.com/

    RSVP for meets & events:

    • Log into the website
    • Click on EVENT/MEETS CALENDAR tab
    • Scroll down to each meet (yes, it will take a little time)
    • Click the green MEET ENTRY button and EDIT your swimmer(s)
    • Remember to SAVE before leaving the page
    • Repeat for each event & meet.
    • It is important to do this for meets you are attending as well as those that you are not able to attend. It really helps the coaches set up our relays and events with ease if we know who is and is not attending.
