Last Week of Spring Session (Age Group and Seniors)

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.

Summer Session Sign Ups

Just a reminder that we need all swimmers intending on swimming during the summer session to get signed on the website. The sooner we have everyone committed the faster we can take care of any movement within the groups.

I wanted to give a big pat on the back to all the Group 4 swimmers who were at practice last night. Everyone stepped up for a big challenging set of 21x100's with variable intervals. Coach Carly said everyone did great even with the last set of 100's being on a faster interval than most have ever had. Great way to get the training going for Longcourse! Lets keep it up.
