Parents - thank you
The meet ran very smoothly. We had great music, a nice guppy race and the league's best officials and Data crew. I never made it to the snack bar but I saw many walking tacos go by me yesterday. 

PLEASE PASS ALONG TO YOUR SWIMMERS-
It takes every team member to win a meet - don't ever think your swim in a race is not not important.


Next week we face Pointer Ridge, probably our most difficult meet. Swimmers are still making some simple mistakes and we will work on more on backstroke and breaststroke this week.

Remember we practice in the evening this week-
5 - 6 pm 10 and younger and 6 -7:30 pm for 11- 18

We will practice Friday morning.

WE WILL NOT PRACTICE ON THE 4TH OF JULY THIS YEAR!! ENJOY YOUR DAY.
