October 18, 2017
Shark Tank is a dual swim meet between Peninsula High School and Gig Harbor High School. Three swimmer and three divers have explained what it’s like to be apart of this event.

“[Shark tank is] super awesome that we can have a friendly rivalry with the tides, and compete together in a safe environment.” Aspen Tyas (diver), 11th
“I’m excited and I love GHHS divers and they are really good. I feel excited and anxious, but I’m ready to kick some butt!” -Hope Flanigan (diver), 9th
“I am very excited and I’m kind of a combo of nervous and excited and a lot of my friends are in GHHS and that makes me kind of nervous.” -Ellie Hood (swimmer), 10th
“[My favorite part of shark tank is that] even though it is a rivalry we still cheer each other on and have good sportsmanship.” Bella Case (swimmer), 11th
“The challenge [with compete against GHHS] can be that they are friends and family and it is hard to want to be super competitive because we love them.” -Emma Reinmuth (swimmer), 10th
