There were definitely some "WOW" moments last night ... our hearts got a workout from all the excitement just watching the meet unfold. We are three meets into our first year in RED and are now 2-1, with two dual meets and Summer Splash Invitational yet to go.

Poquoson is on the 7th -- and Marlbank will be on the 14th. Summer Splash  July 26, and City Meet on August 2.

Next week, we're holding Clinics -- the sign up sheet is here. 

If your child has already qualified for City Meet, go ahead and declare their attendance for that meet. Coach Will is helping me put together a spreadsheet of top times in the league, so that we can offer families as much advice as possible when it comes to selecting the best events with potential for your swimmers to place -- earning ribbons and points -- at City Meet this year.

And our City Meet qualifying list keeps growing. Congratulations:
