7/9/12 Update!


Hi All!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!
Tomorrow, July 10th, is our Team Picture Day!  Pictures will be at 12:45 so our younger swimmers will already be here but our older group needs to arrive to practice early so they can be in the picture too.  We also would like swimmers to wear their team bathing suits so that we can have something of a uniform look for our team.

Pancake Brunch
Thank you, thank you, and thank you to everyone who came to the brunch and donated money for this fundraiser.  Even though this was our first go around running the Pancake Brunch as a fundraiser it was wonderfully successful!  Our hope was to raise at least $150, but we more than doubled that with over $300 donated!  We are so happy about the equipment that this money will allow us to purchase for the team.

Rutland Sprints Overview.
At Sprints this past weekend all of the swimmers in attendance performed extremely well with a number of them taking top finishes, and even a broken record.  For the coaches though we were most pleased by all the swimmers’ improvement in regards to disqualifications.  Our swimmers have really worked hard to improve their strokes and it showed Saturday as our disqualifications decreased dramatically!

Meet Reminder for July 14th
On Saturday, July 14th we have a home meet.  We’re asking swimmers to arrive by 8:45 that morning so we can be in the water for warm-ups at 9:00.  It’s going to be a great meet so make sure we’re all there ready to go!

Happy Swimming!
Nicola, Maddie, and Sam
