Happy New Year! I certainly hope that everyone enjoyed the holiday season and are back into the swing of things! It sure was nice to have the swimmers back in the water this week. both coach Mo and myself noticed how happy, fresh and excited they were all at practice. The big thing that we noticed is how well everyone was listening again! It is amazing what a small break can do for children of this age can do to help keep things fresh and exciting for them!
Meet Schedule.Just want to make sure everyone knows the upcoming meets.
