Hi Shark Families,
What a week of fun it was… From torrential rain to sunshine at the 9-10 Rising Stars Meet Monday, great 10 & Under swims at Belle Isle’s DYC on Friday, Swimming in Pajamas and Splashing with Sharks on Saturday. Photos say more than any words. Thank you to all of this week’s volunteers, our Mini Meet timers and our Shark Splash MC Duo of Kathryn and Casey Christiensen. We hope to see you all at Tuesday’s Pasta and Paper Plate Award Dinner.

2024 COACH GIFTS
We are incredibly grateful for our team of coaches. They have given so much this summer to make It an extra special season for our Sharks. They haven’t missed a beat in the pool, on the pool deck, on the dance floor, or at the meets… this is one very special group. We love our BAC Swim Coaches and would like to show our appreciation at the banquet. Your BAC account will be billed $20 per swimmer to cover the cost of the coaches gifts. If you do not want to contribute, or would like to contribute a different amount, please contact Jennifer Zumer at jzumer@bacmi.net ASAP

COACHES’ CORNER – Coach Paul
We are days away from MICSA Finals. Fourteen teams, one pool, racing for a championship!
Prepare physically and mentally. This is not just a meet, this is THE MEET! Rest up, visualize your races, visualize SUCCESS!
Entry times do not determine the race results! Top 12, from any heat, swim on Sunday. Be a SHARK! We are racing the clock Friday and Saturday!
Eat, sleep, prepare, focus, race! Your food and fluids will fuel Finals! This weekend will be long, so getting sleep now is important! The details make the difference. .01 matters!
GO SHARKS!
