(3) Thank you to everyone who contributed to the fall fundraiser

There was a tremendous response to this fundraiser and we think that the people who bought candles are going to be very pleased with their purchase. 

Special thanks to board member Scott Fentress for taking the leadership of this project and for pushing us over the finish line.

(4) New practice groups are working well

The realignment of practice groups is working well and it seems like the swimmers are making outstanding progress. 

New Performance Standards will be out in the near future.

 

Have a great week - See you at the pool,

Monty
