Shark Sightings - April 8, 2025

Team,  

Please read through the following announcements. There is a lot of information here, and I tried to streamline it as much as possible. Thanks! 

Event page – for reference 

LC practices at UNO –  

Please commit to these on the event page. Specific times and groups are listed on the event page.  

Weekend 1 – 4/25-26  

Weekend 2 – 5/30-31 

May Flowers Meet – May 9 

All of our competitive groups + hammerheads may swim in this meet. Since it’s a home meet, please be prepared to volunteer. Attendance is highly recommended. This is generally a fantastic meet and we’re very fortunate to compete at home.  

GPAC/Pensacola meet – June 6-8 

Please commit to this meet by April 28. Hotel reservations must be made by May 1. Rate is $129/night at the holiday inn express. This is a fantastic rate for this area in June, and at a hotel that opened in the last 6 months. We choose to attend this meet for several reasons: 1) offer 1 out of town trip with a fun/beach option for families to get together, 2) offering the athlete the challenge of swimming in a new or less frequented environment where they do have to adapt without all the comforts and familiarities, and 3) usually some faster/deeper competition.  

Team Fundraisers  

These directly benefit our booster club- we're currently trying to purchase electronic timing equipment for our meets.  

 
 
Team Store -  

It’s important to purchase all equipment through our team store at swimoutlet.com so the kickback goes to our team. This helps purchase team sets of equipment (nose clips, cords, stopwatches for coaches, etc.) and we must endorse ARENA products, as this is who supplies our staff with outfitting.  

Please let me know if you need anything. Thank you for your continued outstanding support of our athletes.
