Hey Sharks – With the County Meet concluded, next up is our End of Season celebration. Before getting into the party details, some recognitions and announcements:

County Meet – Great job by the Sharks County team members! We finished 16th out of 43 teams, team records were broken, and several team members and relay teams finished in the Top 10. You can see the full County results here. A special shout-out to Maria Fitzsimmons who tied for 1^st place as the 11-12 age group girls High Point winner, wow:-).

Swim Across America / Aflac Cancer Center Fundraiser – Payton Nabors, Shark volunteer coach and team member, has organized one final event as part of his quest to raise $3,000 for this worthy cause. Join Payton and other Shark teammates at Old Fountain Tavern (1250 Auburn Rd, Dacula, Georgia 30019) this coming Saturday, July 21st, between 4 pm and 9 pm. A portion of the proceeds from your meal with be donated to the Swim Atlanta Swim Across America team. More information is available here.
