Pickerington Tiger Sharks

Hello Tiger Sharks and Families!

Our first day of practice is fast approaching (May 30th) and we are so excited to start the season! Thank you to everyone who came to the parent meeting! If you miss, see the slides below for all info:

2023 Parent Information Meeting Slides

A few reminders for the first day: be sure to arrive on time for practice so we can make the most of the time we have:

11 and up: 7:00am - 8:00am

10 and under: 7:50am - 8:50am

For practice, bring a water bottle, goggles, cap (for sale at practice if you would like to purchase), towel and warm gear for the chilly mornings.

Additional Reminders:

Practices will NOT be canceled due to rain, please join our group on Remind for cancellations: https://www.remind.com/join/ptigersha (This is new from last year)
Please do not drop off your swimmer before 7am on practice days, as a safety protocol from the city there will not be a supervised adult to be with your child.
CHECK YOUR SWIMMER FOLDERS DAILY!!!!!
If you have questions regarding swim team, please address board members or coaches (after practice). The pool staff is separate from the team and is unable to answer your questions.
Parents and younger siblings, keep clear of the swimming deck during practice times. It is unsafe to try to hold a conversation with a coach while we have swimmers in the water. The same goes for trying to talk to your swimmer during practice. Family members are to remain in the grassy areas or under the awnings.

Information will be on the website (https://members.tigersharks.us/), Facebook, Instagram as well and is subject to change.

Team Handbook

Our Team Handbook is an effort to provide a quick summary of everything about our team. As a summary, it puts the most relevant info at your fingertips. The details are filled in by the website. If you're wondering about how our team runs, this is a good place to start.

Spirit Wear Extended till June 7th!

We have decided to open the spirit wear store back open till June 7th. Order take a couple weeks after closing the store.

For those who ordered, you will get your items before the first meet!

https://ptigersharks.itemorder.com/

This fundraiser allows us to provide the best experience for your swimmer, plus fun activities like Donuts for Breakfast, an end of the season banquet and more.

Order your gear today to receive by mid June.
There are so many options this year, definitely something for everyone.
Remember, your registered swimmer gets a FREE team t-shirt, but as my kids told me, "Mom, we also need sweatshirts and sweatpants, and oh that tank would look great on you."
Last day to order is June 7th. Items will be handed out during practices.
