RAYS SUMMER SPLASH

We have one more day of racing this weekend and overall the MAST swimmers are doing very well. 

There have been a lot of best times and / or very good swims. 

This have been a tough weekend of racing but well worth it for everyone.

 

Train Hard, Swim Fast and Have Fun,

Monty
