Please visit the swim meet schedule and declare your swimmer(s) will either attend or not attend the meet. We're trying to give everyone their best shot for their best times -- Wythe is a 4-lane pool, so we will have to work to keep exhibition heats to a minimum (using…
Normally, I'm a little more on top of these things -- but life sometimes has other plans.
I hope everyone had a great time last night - as a reminder our LAST meet is against George Wythe on Monday. We will practice as normal (weather permitting) Wed-Fri this week and…
Attached you will find both the heat sheet and the arm-marking sheets.
I know it's miserably hot out -- but the swim rules for air/water temp usually only apply for distance swimming. Please stay hydrated, and cool!
Pool set-up is at 4pm. All hands appreciated! Warm-ups will start promptly…

Despite the heat - we came away victorious. I've attached the personal bests achieved last night -- congratulations!
Keep working the details -- especially turns and finishes. Less breathing -- more swimming!
Congratulations also to our City Meet Qualifiers:

For example, when starting new swimmers, we follow this basic timeline:
It's hard to believe that we are at the half-way point for summer swim. We've still got Glendale (8th), the friendly meet against Elizabeth Lakes (15th), and our last meet against George Wythe (24th) to go -- additionally, families with 8&U please don't forget to declare for the Mini Meet…
Here we go!
Please make sure children stay hydrated today -- hydrated swimmers are faster and more powerful.
See you at 4!
Monday, June 24th is our meet against Wendwood (it's also senior night) -- the weather currently doesn't look great for morning practice -- if we are having thunderstorms when you wake up, stay in bed and rest up.
Tuesday, June 25th will be a fun day -- pool gets put…
2 - and - 0! Wow... way to step up and pull off the win against Coventry tonight! So many best times -- and so many of our youngest swimmers making it across the pool on their own, compared to Intrasquad -- and even Monday! There's still a lot of…
