Shark Practice Starts Tonight May 12, 2025
Dear Shark Families –
We hope everyone is excited for our first practice of the season this evening. Please bring a towel, water bottle and goggles. The pool is not open so there are no towels, drink nor food available at the pool. IF it is too cold and rainy, we will play games under the cover instead.
Here is the practice schedule this week:
Monday - Friday
- 8-unders: 5:30-6:30 pm
- 9 & overs: 6:30-7:30 pm
Some important reminders as we get the season started: You MUST register before attending practice, but you can swim test before registering. All CHCCR practices require attendance of at least one parent or responsible adult (19 years old or older) for swimmers age 8 and under. Please enter the pool at the back gate off of New Castle Drive and check in with one of the parent reps that will be waiting there to greet you.
Swimmers are only allowed in the pool during their designated swim times. The pool is not yet open and there are no life guards on deck. Once the pool does open, please keep in mind that swim team registration fee does NOT include access to the pool outside of the designated swim team practice times. General access to the pool requires membership to the Chapel Hill Country Club.
Parents must pick up their children immediately after practice. Please expect some of the younger and newer Sharks to finish early. We are anticipating many of these swimmers will tire quickly, especially at the beginning of the year, and we don’t want to exhaust them with a whole hour in the water.
Evaluations for new Sharks will occur during practice this week and next week. You can take the test MULTIPLE times... we know many Sharks have been out of the water for an extended period of time and want to give everyone as many opportunities as possible. We want them to have fun. If your little Shark doesn’t pass right away, don’t worry.
We are so excited to get the season started!!
Fins up!! Here we go!!
Your Parent Reps
