Orangevale Community Center We ask that someone from each family attend this meeting to learn about our TigerSharks swim team. We will talk about any expectations or changes happening this season. We are also planning to have some team swimsuits to try on and/or purchase - limit supply! Kids are welcome, but will need to stay quiet during the meeting. We now have a shop on Swim Outlet online for all of your swimming gear needs! www.swimoutlet.com/OVTigersharks
New for 2019, all suit orders will be placed by each family online at Swim Outlet. Online you will find our official team suit, the Speedo Water Supply.Team suits are not required. We ask that swimmers wear something all black or this team suit for the swim meets. There are many options available on our team site and through Swim Outlet. We recommend that you order swim suits by 4/11/2019 to ensure that they arrive by picture day. If you are unsure of sizing and would like to try it on before you order, there are a couple options. 1. We are planning on having a range of swimsuits at the All Family Meeting to try on and/or purchase. 2. There are a couple local stores that carry the Speedo Water Supply swim suit. Try Dick's Sporting Goods and California Swim Shop. A portion of all sales through the Swim Outlet site come back to the TigerSharks Swim Team.
We still have space in ages 13 and up! (as of 2/13/19) New Swimmer Registration is now open! You must register in person at the Orangevale Community Center Office. Space is limited and it will fill up fast! OV Community Center Office Hours: M-F 8:30AM-5PM Swimmers with or without swim team experience can participate in our District sponsored team. However, swimmers must be able to swim one 15 yard length of the pool. The season runs May thru July. Practice is held afternoons in May/June and mornings or afternoons in June/July. Meets are held in June and July. TigerSharks swim against the Cordova Marlins, Placerville Dry Diggins Dolphins, and Auburn Robelos. Don't miss out... practice starts April 29, 2019! There will be afternoon practice on Sunsplash day (Tuesday).
There will be NO PRACTICE at all on July 4th. There will be morning and afternoon practices on Thursday and Friday. I can't believe that the Swim-a-Thon is almost here...we are still in need of food donations so that the kids can get some grub after swimming all of those laps.

We are looking for some help this season. Instead of hosting our own snack bar at the meets, we would like to move into bringing in a food truck/cart for our home events. If you know of someone or have a contact, please contact us. There are also a few board positions still open this season. Please look over the contacts page to see positions still needing to be filled. Interesting in helping? Contact Kristin Hurd ovtspresident@gmail.com Thank you to everyone that helped at meets and events this season. It takes the whole village to make this team work.
For next season, we need some help filling out our board and head positions. If you are interested in helping out more with the team, please let us know ASAP. We need your help TigerSharks! Each meet takes a lot of organization from the coaches to seed all the swimmers that are attending. We NEED to know who is coming by Monday evening the week before the meet. The amount of work and time that went in to the scratch session for Placerville was too much for a meet day. If you are not signed in by Monday night, you will not be swimming in the meet. We also need to know if you are not coming so that we don't have to make a lot of changes on meet day. Emergencies and illness come up, we understand that, so let us know as soon as you can if you will be missing meet day. Please make sure to sign in through the Active Swim Portal (Link above) on the VIEW MEETS page. (See the picture below) Check the bulletin board on deck when the meet sheet is posted to make sure your swimmers are listed and to make sure they are not listed if you do not plan to attend. Thanks for your help!  Make sure to register all your swimmers for the online meet sign in program through active.com. You must follow the link in the email sent out on May 15th.
Our program registration cannot be found on their app or if you search their website. You will receive an invitation to sign in to each meet. We need everyone to sign in or out to EACH meet. All meet sign ins happen online. Thank you for your help with timely registration for this season! Email Andrea if you need the link again. To Sign In or out of a meet: Click the Portal Link in the invitation email or above. Click "View Meets" Scroll down to the open meet and click "Attending" or "Not Attending" Click SAVE for each swimmer You can go back to this screen and edit your selections until the week of the meet. |
