Please read this whole email. It is full of important updates, dates, and actions.

We did it! We survived a crazy and unique school year. Congratulations to all of the graduates and a special thank you to teachers and school staff. Now, let’s swim!

Wrapping up Week 3

The kids continue to improve as we switch over to morning practice. The water is warming up and they are really grooving with the practice routines and growing in confidence with each practice. Coach Zach took seed times for each child in various events. This will help with placement for heats in the meets and will show progress throughout the season. The best thing a kid can do is improve their own time for an event. We don't care much about win, lose, 1st place, or last place - improving personal times is what we look for!

Upcoming Dates
