Pickerington Tiger Sharks
Executive Board Nominations, Champs Ribbons/Swimmer Gifts
Hi Tiger Shark Fam!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Awards Banquet and pool party last week. We love celebrating our swimmers and all of your accomplishments over the last season.
Please tag the Tiger Sharks in your IG/Facebook posts of pictures with your swimmers with their towels and any pictures you took over the season. We would love to flood our social media with our swimmers!
If you were unable to attend and would like to pick up your swimmer's ribbons and gifts, please email Abbey at tigersharks.us@gmail.com to set up a time to pick up your items.
As you might be aware, the board is looking into several options for the future of the shark tank. Currently, we rent the pool from the city and to put it simply, we would like to be in control of our own pool. Please complete the following survey with a simple yay or nay. We need a quorum of 60% of the members to respond with a yes to begin the process of exploring options in Pickerington for our own pool (possibly buying the current pool). (ONE VOTE PER FAMILY)

Help The Tiger Sharks Build A Pool!
Now that the season is officially over, it's time to kick into high gear a committee to campaign to build our pool! We want to offer year round swimming options to our swimmers, those in our community and the entire east side of Central Ohio.
We are looking for people with a vision and a commitment to growing the sport of swimming for all ages!
We need all hands on deck to get the word out so we can begin fundraising for a pool that will give our community the year round pool it desperately needs.
If you are interested or have any experience with such a venture, please contact us at tigersharks.us@gmail.com.
This is an incredibly exciting venture and in the early stages of planning that we hope will build steam and become a reality for generations of PTS swimmers and our community as a whole in the future.
