Greetings Pool Shark families,

Congratulations on our last dual meet of the season and on a great team win over Mazomanie! Our final score without any butterfly or free relay events was 306-185. Our final dual meet team record is 6-2! Congrats on an amazing dual meet season!

Individual and team results are posted on our website under "Meets and Events." Click on "Meet results." They will be posted here after each meet. If your swimmer finished in the top 3 of their individual event, or their relay got 1st place, they earned a ribbon at the meet! Ribbons are in your family folder in the Pool Shark Mailboxes at the outdoor pool. Since this was a home meet, all swimmers 10 and under who legally finished their individual races will receive a participation ribbon. We also give ribbons for 10 and under for earning 4th-6th places in individual events. Only 1st place gets ribbons for relays. The mailbox will be placed on a table between the lifeguard office and the concession stand at the outdoor pool during the 5:30 practices. If it is not there, you can ask a coach for it. Parents or swimmers may access their mailboxes anytime the outdoor pool is open by asking a coach or pool staff member to access it for you.

• Practices this week - Since our dual meet season is done, practices this week will be focusing on the Tri-County Conference meet and Invite this week. There will be NO BABY SHARK PRACTICES this week so our coaches can focus on our swimmers competing in their championship meets this week/weekend.
• Friday 5:30 practice moved to INDOOR POOL - We are moving our 5:30pm practice on Friday to the indoor pool from 5:30-6:30 to have more space to work on starts, turns and technical details right before our conference swim meet. 
• SAVE THE DATE - Our end of the season awards ceremony and pool party will be Monday July 28th from 5:30-8:30pm at the Outdoor Pool. This is open to all Pool Sharks and their families, and a great way to celebrate the end of the season. Pool Sharks who have siblings who want to swim, NEED to have an adult with them in the water if they cannot swim the length of the pool on their own. The baby pool area will not be open. Swim-a-thon and conference awards will be given out, followed by open swim for our Pool Sharks. There will be a parent meeting from 5:45-6:15 in the bleachers. We will be ordering pizza to be delivered at 5:30 for anyone who would like to have dinner at the pool. If your swimmer and/or family plan on having pizza, please RSVP for all who will be eating, so we can plan our order accordingly. 
Pool Shark plaques and annual stickers will be for sale this evening as well as some leftover concession items from the season. Please bring cash if you plan to purchase either of those items. We hope to see you there!
• Swim-a-thon Donations due TOMORROW - Donations can be turned into the Swim-a-thon folder in our Pool Shark mailbox at the outdoor pool by TOMORROW night's practice, or you can give them to Coach Riley at the indoor pool. The folder has been moved to the front of the bin. Please DO NOT put cash in the folder in the mailbox. If you can write a check for the total, that would be preferred, but if you need to hand in cash, please hand it to myself or Coach Riley. Checks can be made out to Sauk Prairie Pool Sharks. Donations should be placed in an envelope labeled with your swimmer's name and age group. All donations are due by the end of the day Monday 7/21.
• Pictures and team t-shirts - Pictures are IN and have been placed in your family folder in the Pool Shark mailbox at the outdoor pool. Please pick them up, and any ribbons you have in your folders this week or at the Pool Party next Monday night. If you have not received your free team t-shirt, I will have them at the Pool Party next Monday. If you are not able to attend, please email me to arrange a time to pick up the t-shirts.

Thanks again for an amazing dual meet season! We are looking forward to the Tri-county conference meet, and Invite meet prep this week! We hope to see you all at the Pool Party on the 28th!

Have a great week!

The Sauk Prairie Pool Shark Board
