Donations – $10 Donation per Family

To help fund coaches’ salaries and swimmer treats like Heat Winners, Swimmer of the Week awards, and the End of Season party awards, we are requesting a $10 donation per family (instead of drink donations).

• Donations can be dropped off to Rachel or Amanda during practice, or you can Venmo to @rs-sharks. Please include swimmer(s) name if you donate via Venmo.

Team T-Shirts

• If you registered your swimmer PRIOR to 5/3 or ordered a fundraiser shirt, they are in and will be available for pick up at practice.
• Pro-Tip : Write your swimmer's name inside their shirt so it doesn't get mixed up with other swimmers' shirts.
• If you registered after 5/3, but would like a team t-shirt for your swimmer, we have past year shirts available to purchase for $10

Team Swim Caps

• Team swim caps can be purchased at practice or during the meet at the concessions booth for $10.

Swim Meet Thursday, 5/29

This week’s meet will be at HOME vs Richland Waves

This week’s meet theme – Hawaiian - Break out your leis, grass skirts, and tropical shirts as we bring island vibes to the pool deck.

Arrival - Please arrive by 5:00 for swimmer and volunteer check-in. Volunteer check-in will be at the tent near the pool gate. Swimmers must check IN and OUT at bullpen. Please do not leave the Meet until your swimmer has checked out.

Parking - the parking lot will fill up early, so please plan accordingly. Additional parking is allowed on ONE side of the street (please do not park on the side with the No Parking signs). Please DO NOT park in any spot marked Reserved. We kindly ask all parents and visitors to refrain from parking in designated handicap parking spots unless you have a valid handicap permit. These spaces are legally reserved for individuals who require close access to the facility. Unauthorized use of these spots may result in fines or towing.

Warm-Up - Our swimmers will warm up from 5:10 to 5:30

Bubbles Heat - There will be a bubbles heat to start the meet. If you would like your bubble to participate, please arrive by 5:45.

Bullpen - Our bullpen is on the pool deck by the baby pool. Please remind your swimmers that they need to stay in the bullpen area until they are done swimming. They should not be at the playground or sitting with parents on the deck. Also, swimmers are not allowed to use the baby pool or any deck furniture.

Parents Area - Our parents normally sit on the side of the pool deck near the tennis courts. Please remember to bring chairs for you and your swimmers, as all the pool furniture will be put away and CANNOT be used during swim meets.

Concessions - You can purchase concessions with Cash or Venmo (@rs-sharks). We will also have a snow-cone truck selling refreshments.

Chuck A Duck Fundraiser- Ducks are one for $2 or three for $5 and will be sold at an outdoor table on the clubhouse deck. Participants will try to throw their duck(s) into a float in the pool and one lucky duck will be chosen from the ones that make it into the float. The proceeds from the fundraiser are split 50/50 (Rivershyre Sharks & the Winning Duck). CASH ONLY for the fundraiser. Chuck A Duck Info

Inclement weather: In the event the meet is delayed for weather, please head to your cars and await further instructions. Do not leave the meet!
