Just a reminder... tomorrow is our annual Sharks pancake breakfast and team picture Day! All details from the previous email are included below.

Everyone should be at the pool at 7:30 AM. It will be HOT, so we will try to move things along as quickly as possible. Please be prompt!

If your family is planning to have individual photos taken, be sure you have signed up for an approximate time slot using the link below.

Bring a full water bottle of cold water and wear team suits. See you in the morning! :)

PICTURE DAY AND PANCAKE BREAKFAST!

Please read carefully through all the details for Thursday, July 2nd.

This is a TEAM event for all Sharks and Jr. Sharks. All swimmers should plan to attend so that our team photos represent the whole team… and because pancakes are even yummier with friends!

TEAM PHOTO
All Sharks and Jr. Sharks must be at the pool by 7:30 AM to start lining up in height order. Be on time and wear your team suit. The Jr. Sharks team photo will be taken first (promptly at 8:00), quickly followed by the Sharks team photo.

INDIVIDUAL/SIBLING PHOTOS
Individual and sibling photos are not required, but are very popular. If you plan to have your swimmer(s) photographed, sign up for a family time slot. The times will be very approximate, but having a predetermined order of families makes the process go more smoothly and eliminates wiggly swimmers waiting in long lines. One time slot per family. Sharks and Jr. Sharks in the same family should all be included in ONE time slot.

ORDERING PHOTOS
NO ordering or paperwork is required on picture day! Your child will receive a QR code that will allow you to access their private gallery about a week after picture day. Orders will be placed through the Nova Portraits online platform.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Pancakes will be served beginning after the team photo is taken, around 8:30. Sign in to the Sharks website and declare your attendance for the pancake breakfast ASAP, so the organizers can prepare an appropriate amount of food. Swimmers are welcome to eat anytime after the team photo. If your swimmer is planning to eat before their individual photo time, consider having them wear something over their bathing suit in case of spills. As a clarification for new families, parents are more than welcome to hang out and socialize during this event, but the pancake breakfast is for the swimmers.

THURSDAY PRACTICE
There will be NO regular practices on Thursday, July 2nd. However, there will be an optional session focusing on racing starts, turns, and finishes for Sharks in any age group, beginning as soon as all photos are done. Timing for this practice is approximate, likely beginning around 9:30 and lasting 30-45 minutes.

See you on Thursday for pancakes and pictures!
