Just a reminder that White/Green/Adv Pre-Comp now get in the water at 5:30 pm Monday through Thursday. Dryland will be completed throughout swim practice on the pool deck and will be incorporated into swim sets to further benefit the young swimmers. We tried this for the first time last night and it went well, working on backstroke kick in and out of the water.

This past weeknd we swam at the Rainbow Classic. A great time was had by all. We all sat together, cheered each other on and had a great time being with each other at the meet.
