🚦 OPT OUT DEADLINE
Saturday, July 11 we host Victory Lakes for a home meet. If you will not be at the meet, please OPT OUT by tomorrow, Monday July 6th! RSVPing is critical so that our coaches can plan appropriately and place swimmers in the events that best support both individual and team success. If you know your swimmer will be absent but do not opt out, their absence on meet day could jeopardize a relay team, potentially preventing three other swimmers from having the opportunity to compete.
🔍 LOST AND FOUND
Our Lost and Found box is filling up with items left behind at practice, including water bottles, goggles, towels, clothing, and other belongings. Please take a moment before or after practice this week to check the box for any missing items. Thank you for helping keep our swim area organized!
