Dear Sharks Family,

The Division Reps and NWAL Board held a conference call to discuss the upcoming season.  Topics discussed were the CDC, School Districts, State, and County mandates as well as the insurance cost for NWAL($100K). The topic of NWAL receiving a full or partial refund on the insurance was one of the factors that was discussed.

It was determined that it was "an all or nothing" when considering if we move forward and wait out the COVID 19 situation.  There were 21 divisions including NWAL Board members that voted. The vote was 19-3 in favor of canceling the season to protect the health of the swimmers, families, and communities.

What this means is that because the season is cancelled, we are not allowed to have any team events such as Family Fun Night, Movie Nights or any team get togethers.  Therefore, I am sorry to say but we will not be having a Sharks Swim Season this summer. While this is heartbreaking news, everyone’s health and safety are especially important to our community. 

If you have paid online, you will receive a reimbursement from our treasurer.  The board will send information soon about swimmers’ active years on the team, senior scholarships and other items that are important to maintain during the cancelled season.

Please stay safe. We hope to see all our families back in the water for a great 2021 season.
