In the last month the kids have started to show a more focused and competitive side in practice. While still having fun with one another they are beginning to improve on their technical abilities and drive. The kids are already getting excited about the Swim-A-Thon and are thinking of ways to swim as much as they can and who will be able to sponser them!

Next Saturday February 20 will be having a letter writting for the swim-a-thon. Keep in mind that the Swim-A-Thon will take place Saturday April 17th. Make sure you pencil this date in. This a very important event due to the fact that this is our major fund raiser of the year. Also that day we will be doing a clinic and fun relay day for the kids.

The second meet of the season was a great success. I think you should all give yourselves a big pat on the back. With a very high number of best times, and new PNS times, it was a very successful. Get ready for some great practices and even better meets
