Welcome to the Sunrise Sharks Home!

Practice Schedule Change for Friday, May 18th

There's been a change in the Friday practice times for May 18th, the day before Time Trials. This day is strongly recommended for the new swimmers to the team as the coaches will be discussing how Time Trials will be run (check in, warm-ups, events, etc.) and what the swimmers should expect on that day. Swimmers will also work on starts and turns. Practices times for May 18th only are:

• 10 & Unders -- 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm
  
• 11 & Up -- 7:15 pm to 8:00 pm

Returning Sharks swimmers are welcome to attend and participate if they want to get a little more work on starts and turns before Time Trials.



Interested in the Big & Little Buddy Program???

If you didn't get a change to turn in your buddy signup sheet yet, you still can at Time Trials or email Kelli at buddies@sunrisesharks.com with your swimmer's name, age group and gender by Sunday. This program is a great way to make new friendships, show team spirit, and cheer each other on at the races. This year all participants will have the opportunity to participate in activities with their buddy and win prizes! Any questions or comments, please contact Kelli.



Oh say...can you SING or play a musical instrument???

In the spirit of patriotism for the United States of America, the Sunrise Sharks kick off all of our home meets with our National Anthem. Any swimmer(s) who can sing or play a musical instrument, and would like to perform his/her interpretation of The Star Spangled Banner at one of four home meets, please contact Amy or Ome at fundraising@sunrisesharks.com.



Team Swim Suits

If you haven't picked up your swim suit yet, there will be available at check in table at Time Trials.



Volunteer Jobs -- Need to sign up for your jobs?

If you have not signed up for all four of your jobs, you can view the volunteer job sheets for each meet on the Calendar page. To access the volunteer job sheet for a meet, click on the “Parent Volunteer Job” link (in red) noted under the date for each meet.

We are in need of people to work the ready bench, to announce the swimmers and events at the meets, starters to direct swimmers to the blocks and start the race, to be head timer, and for take down/cleanup after the meet. If you are unsure what each job does, there is a brief description of each job on the Parent Jobs page. If you are interested in the Starter or Head Timer job, we will have hands on training at Time Trials.

If you need to make any changes or would like to sign up for a job, you will need to contact Tina Hamman, Volunteer Coordinator, at volunteercoordinator@sunrisesharks.com.
