Sharks Weekly Update 6/1
Hello Sharks Families!
We hope everyone is excited for another great week of Sharks swimming!
We were so excited to kick off Developmental team practices tonight and officially welcome our newest Sharks into the water! It is great to now have our entire team back in action and enjoying another summer of Sharks swimming.
We had an excellent first week of practices at both Gaines Mill and the Main Pool, followed by a fun and successful Time Trials on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who volunteered before, during, and after the meet. Our meets simply could not run without the support of our amazing parent volunteers, and we are incredibly grateful for all of your help.

Team Area
The visiting team setup area is the grassy section behind the black pool fence located along the long side of the competition pool near the sand volleyball court.
Families are welcome to bring pop-up tents and shelters, provided they are set up on top of the grass and do not require staking into the ground.
Victory Lakes has also asked that teams do not begin setting up before 9:00 PM on Friday evening.
Volunteer Information
Victory Lakes utilizes two volunteer shifts during their meets.
- First Shift: Start of meet through 9:30 AM
- Second Shift: Begins at 9:30 AM and continues through the conclusion of the meet
Please keep this in mind when signing up for volunteer positions.
Sharks Kickball Night
Join us this Thursday for Sharks Kickball! It will be held at the Alvey Fields from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Because of kickball, there will be NO swim practice Thursday night.
This is always a fun opportunity for swimmers, coaches, and families to spend time together outside of the pool.

Go Sharks!
