School’s out for summer! (sing it!)

Now that all the kiddos are out, why not bring the up for Monday morning practice? We’ll be running practices for 11 and up (9:30am-10:15am) and 7-10 (10:15am-11:00am). If you swimmer attends the morning session, please do not attend the afternoon session. This is one way that we can manage the number of swimmers in lanes.

And, don’t forget to bring cash! Concessions will be selling end-of-season specials on candy, chips and pop.

WOOT! BOBBING FOR BAGELS is this Saturday!

Don’t disappoint your swimmer(s). It’s the last one of the season! (Big thanks to Alicia Tatro for organizing!)

AND… we’ll have a CONCESSION TABLE set-up during practice. Bring some cash and buy some snacks for swim later in the afternoon. Call it an end-of-season sale, given that we’re all AWAY meets from here on out. Support the swim team. Candy and chips are $1.

Thanks again for your supreme enthusiasm and spirit at our last home meet. It was unfortunate that the weather was crummy… Big shout out to Dan Godfrey and Karen Hoover. You were most entertaining to watch! [evil laugh as we prepare the end-of-year video....lol]

GO HURRICANES!
