Notes for the coming week below. Key items – RSVP by tomorrow (Sunday) night by 11:00 pm for this coming week’s AWAY Meet @ Edinburgh . (See How to RSVP at the end of this email.) Reminder that weather and other last minute team communications are sent via REMIND. If you haven’t yet signed up, please do so by texting @16sharks to 81010.

Youth Swimming Meet Results – We had our first win of the season against Youth Swimming – Rivershyre 386, Youth Swimming 291 – great job Sharks! Thanks to all the volunteers who made the Meet happen. Also, a shout out to the Youth Swimming parents and coaches, who were a big help after the Meet both resetting the deck and cleaning up their bullpen area.

• Meet results – here and listed under the Meet name in the Swim Meets tab. Note: we usually have these posted on the site for you to view by Friday morning.
• Ribbons – Ribbons are available for pick up Sunday night and throughout the week from the folders in the Ribbon box (usually on the back table in front of the team shed). We have speed breaker ribbons starting this week for swimmers who take off time this year starting from the Richland Meet. If your swimmer took off time and didn’t get a ribbon, it’s likely because they beat a prior year’s or Mock Meet time. We don’t have a good way to create ribbon labels from these older times using the new computer system, but can create one by hand if needed.

Rivershyre vs Edinburgh Meet – We are AWAY this coming week against Edinburgh (5344 Brendlynn Drive, Suwanee, GA 30024). Meet theme is Shark Out - wear team gear. (Shop here if you’d like a Shark hoodie, flannel pants, towels and more…)

• RSVP – must RSVP by Sunday night at 11:00 pm. The Meet entries are completed Monday and then submitted to the GCSL. Only "Yes" RSVPs will be seeded in relays and individual events other than backstroke and freestyle.
