Frogs, Families and Friends,
Congratulations to everyone for a great meet yesterday. While we didn't prevail on the scoreboard there were a lot of great swims and team spirit was really high. We'll get another chance against Brookside at the Peach Bowl on July 26. See below for activities/events for this final week of the regular season.

Final meet of the season! We have not competed against CB since 2005 when we narrowly lost 278-276 in an A Division contest. CB spent most of the last 11 seasons in A division, but moved to B Division in 2013. They have not won a meet this year, but we will be missing many swimmers this week. Please see attachment for meet volunteers. Thank you volunteers!
All swimmers must report to the swim club no later than 7:30am.
