Greetings current and past Sharks – the weeks are flying by and we’re going to be in the pool soon! This is the last email that will include last year’s team members.

Practice starts in 3 weeks, Monday May 9^th – for the first week, swimmers need sneakers in addition to their suits, as we’ll likely do a mix of dry land and in the pool activities, especially for the younger groups.

Register soon if you haven’t yet done so and are planning to return. Boys 15-18 is full, other groups are getting close. For groups other than Boys 15-18, if you try to register and get a message that your group is full, please email [email protected].

Meet schedule has been posted on the www.rivershyresharks.com Home page. Meet RSVP will open as soon as the League pushes the dates into the team schedule – likely in the next 1-2 weeks.

Reminder our 2022 team suit is the TYR Hexa Black and White. Order from the Swim ATL Swim Shop Rivershyre team page to enjoy the discounted pricing they’ve provided. (Team suit remains optional, any black and white suit is fine for Dual Meets.)

More certified Stroke & Turn volunteers needed – with the return of Dual Meets, we need more officials per Meets and won’t be able to have our coaches fill in as they did for many Meets last season. The certification training is a single 2 ½ hour evening session via Zoom. We greatly appreciate all who are willing to do this training and serve as officials!

The training dates are: Tuesdays: 4/26, 5/3, 5/10, & 5/17 from 7-9:30pm. Online training for Starters (additional class): Wednesdays: 4/27, 5/4, 5/11, 5/18 from 7-8pm. Link for the Training Session via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89680103108?pwd=bFhtd1A0cGV4NFN0c2JzUGlEYXkrQT09

SwimTopia Mobile will be used again this year for Team Alerts for weather delays/cancellations, signup for meets/events, and viewing volunteer commitments and swim results. Download this app before the first practice to be sure you have the latest updates. (You'll need to know your site login - email and password - to activate the app.)

Reply to this email or call or text me at 770-853-9879 if you have any questions about the upcoming season.

See you at the pool😊.
