Just a reminder that Monday will be the last week for the Spring session for Age Group and Seniors. If you are not going to continue swimming in the spring we do ask that you return your lanyard on your last day of practice. We will have a box next to the pool to drop your lanyard in prior to leaving. For those continuing in the Summer we will have new card inserts available shortly.
