News and Reminders:

2009-2010 season approaches!

School is starting and that can only mean one thing. OK, it can mean lots of things BUT, for us, it means it's time to start a new swim season.

We have scheduled our Open House for Tuesday, August 25th from 5:30 – 7:00pm. This is an important night and will take place before formal practice starts. This meeting will formally introduce our plans for the next year and educate new families about year-round swimming. Please bring a friend who may benefit from this opportunity.

Practice for all age groups is set to start Wednesday, September 2nd. A schedule of practice times can be found here. A tentative meet schedule can be found here for the upcoming short course season.

If you have any questions please contact Coach Montz.
