NFST Sharks Update

Shark Families - Sorry for the multiple emails. We had some technical difficulties with the website links. This will be the final email of the day.

Welcome Message from the Coach

Hey Sharks!

Welcome to another swim season! I’m super excited to be head coach again and get to know all of you. This past week the other coaches and I have focused on getting everyone back in shape and acclimated to swimming again. The younger kids have done a lot of freestyle drills, getting their legs stronger by working on their kick. With some of the older age groups we have already integrated a little bit of backstroke instruction to their practices. One practice reminder, if your child is late to practice please have them wait on the “parent” side of the pool until you can flag down a coach. The coach will tell your child where to go! It’s been a great first week so far and I’m excited for more to come!

Coach Andrew

No Sharks in the Baby Pool

Reminder: The NFC “baby” pool is open during practices to little siblings with the understanding that parents must monitor their own children. There is no lifeguard. NO Shark team swimmers allowed in the small pool during practices. This pool is always closed during swim meets. Thank you for your help maintaining this team rule.
