Can't wait to see our sharks in the water! I'm excited to introduce you to our teachers when you arrive. Sarah Cagle will be the lead teacher for morning, and Maddy Arthur is our lead teacher for evening. These are experienced young women who have been with shark school from the beginning. They will be your point of contact at the pool, and you can always reach out to me.

Sarah and Maddy have a great instructor staff, PLUS we have many kids from our swim team who are excited to shadow our instructors and help our little sharks. It's incredibly cool to be involved with a program that youth *ask* to volunteer for. 

ALSO: The Knox Dough Food Truck will be at the pool Monday for just one hour 10:30-11:30am. They serve delicious cookie dough that is ready to eat. Bring a little extra money if you are interested!

When to Arrive:
Your scheduled swim practice includes 15 minutes to get prepared and 30 minutes in the water. The first 15 is typically spent gathering in a circle, stretching, or chatting about a special toy or new flip flops. This is an important part of the practice that helps your swimmer connect to his/her teacher.

Where to Park:
Our parking lot is at 528 Pensacola Rd. Please be sure to lock your car and don't leave valuables visible in it when parking at any pool, ball field, or park.

What to Bring:
Just swimsuit and towel, plus many kids like to swim with goggles. There's no need to bring swimmies/floaties, we will provide kickboards to use in practice. Your swimmer may absolutely pick out a beloved toy to bring if that helps him/her get excited to go.

Weather Policy:
We do hold practice in the rain, but as is true with all area outdoor pools, thunder requires 20 minutes out of water and the clock restarts with each new occurrence of thunder. We try NOT to cancel based on weather forecasts, only based on actual weather at the time of practice. Please make sure you are subscribed to text alerts of cancellations. We are using rainedout.com.
