Hello Shark Families,

I wanted to send out this week’s newsletter a few days early ahead of Memorial Day weekend! If you’re staying in town and looking for a little extra pool time, Coach Bill has generously offered additional practices for our Jaws and Hammerheads groups this weekend (see the special schedule below).

We also just finalized the swim cap design for the Lilly King Olympian Clinic — be sure to share it with your swimmers to help build excitement! Space is limited to just 36 swimmers per session to keep the experience personal and engaging. Registration is still open for members, and guests are welcome too, so feel free to invite friends who may be interested. Drop the kids off for a fun-filled morning, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Quick Reminders This Week

• Please review the Memorial Day Weekend practice schedule below.
• Lilly King Swim Clinic registration is now open for non-members and MICSA clubs — invite your friends!
• The June 16 Shark Team Bingo event is now available in the BAC member app and portal. Thank you for your patience with last week’s confusion.
• Sponsorship Deadline is June 1. You have one more week to sign up to be a sponsor for the 2026 Swim Season. Contact Mark King(mking@bacmi.net) for more details.
