Tiger Sharks,

Sadly I announce that we lost against the Wipeouts last weekend.  Currently we are 1-1.  We are doing very good for having such limited practice times.  Keep up the great work and lets do our best this weekend.

Coming Up This Week

This Saturday, June 4th is our meet against Birnamwood/Fairfax at the BRINAMWOOD POOL.  The pool is located at 23803 Birnam Wood Blvd Spring, TX 77373.  This is our first away meet.  It is just like any other meet, only we are not hosting.  We will have a check in area and as of this moment I do not know where we set up.  I have a bright pink canopy and I try my best to be one of the very first people at the pool to get the check in table ready.  I will have my pink canopy set up in the area that we are suppose to set up in.  If all else, while your swimmers are checking in, just ask which direction you go.  Recap - When you arrive at the pool find the Check In Area/Person and highlight your swimmer's name, write their numbers on their forearm.

As i said, this is just like any other meet so check in at 6:30 AM, we more than likely won't warm up till after Birnamwood does, but it is possible to have the first warm up spot.  The meet starts between 8:00 and 8:30.  We DO NOT have a SET UP or BREAK DOWN, since this is not at our pool.  Please be sure to clean up your area when the meet is over, we do not want their team picking up our trash.

Since it is an away meet, we do not have as many volunteer positions available.  We ONLY HAVE 14 (7 per session) Timer Spots and 4 (2 per session) Ready Bench spots.  I opened 8 spots as timers, one person that signed up might be a back up.  I will explain that better in person.  Birnamwood pool has only 5 lanes.  Most of you that have been timers understand that in a lane we have either 2 or 1 person from our own team in one lane.  So this means that we will need either 7 or 8 depending on how the host team wants to do it.  If you are confused by this then please ignore it and see me in person.  EITHER WAY as of right now I have on the Sign Up Genius ONLY 4 Timer spots open and 3 Ready Bench spots open.  Remember you need to have your required volunteer positions completed to have your deposit returned to you.  Even though some of you may have finished your volunteer hours you may still have to volunteer.  I need you to also remember that the meet cannot go on with out your help.

The Ribbon Ceremony will be held at Las Ramadas Mexican Grill on Monday, June 6th @ 6:00 PM.  

The Summer Practice Schedule has not been released yet, but it will change as of Tuesday, June 7th.  I will send out a separate email on that alone.  

As usual, should you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask.  See the attached map of how to find the Birnamwood Pool, please excuse the crudeness of my line work.  I tried to draw with red line the route to the pool, I apparently do not have a steady hand.  You can also find the map on the Link section of our webpage.

Thank you,

Sabrina Michalsky
