Tigersharks Start Season Saturday

The swimmers’ times will be added together for a total time, with awards given for the first 10 places.

"The Pentathlon is a challenge,” says Commerce Parks and Recreation aquatic center coordinator Pam Minish. “The swimmers have to be able to swim all five events. The Tigersharks have been working really hard during the two-a-day practices and I'm really proud of them."

In the past, the Tigersharks have practiced once daily until the state meet at the end of the season. However, coach Nick Moulton believes the extended practice schedule will pay dividends when the team gets to Winder on Saturday.

"The kids are already in much better shape than they were at this time last year,” he said “I expect their times at Winder to reflect that."

Following Saturday’s meet, the Tigersharks will travel to Jefferson for a dual swim meet on June 19, then on to the Gainesville for the Summer Splash at the Green Street Pool.
