Swim practice cancelled Tuesday 6/28
Seems like we have only one thing to say lately: "Practice is cancelled" - very difficult for us to miss this many practices but with the rough weather in the area we don't have many options. Hopefully we will see you at the pool tomorrow!!!

RAIN RAIN RAIN
The rain is coming again. We wanted to go ahead and make a decision before everyone had to drive toward the Y. Hopefully next week will be more productive. In the meantime--- if you have access to a pool have your swimmer log some time to stay loose. Streamline drills and easy freestyle are appropriate.

GREAT MEET!


Way to go Sharks! What a great first meet. I am so proud of all the swimmers and the effort in the pool. We will go over everyone's times on Monday, and I believe that many will have a PR (Personal Best time). Next week we will begin to work on flip turns, butterfly, and perfecting techniques. A Big thanks to the parent volunteers--you were all superb!
Many Sharks were fueling up on Honey Stinger waffles and gel chews-we might have found a secret weapon!

My favorite part of the entire meet was watching ALL the SHARKS, and parents, cheering each other on! What a great TEAM!!
