GP Swim: Events for Week of June 22

We're off to a great start for 2015!   Ladies had a great time at the sip/paint on Tuesday - thank you to Lisa Masny for organizing.
Thank you to all who attended, contributed and volunteered for the Brendan McHugh fundraiser on Friday.  Special thanks to Jenna Buffetta and Greg Fondacaro.

However, the highlight of the week was yesterday's 325 - 229 victory over Tavistock Hills.  
Some great swims and real team spirit in yesterday's win.

This week brings the start of morning practices and our first B meet vs. Haddontowne.  
The week ends with our meet vs. Old Orchard next Saturday.

See below for more info, details and reminders.

Go Frogs!
