Meet Coach Kris @Club Champs

At last count, we had approximately 300 competitive swimmers in our program - competitive meaning that they are in a squad where competing is an expectation/ requirement.

As of writing, 58 swimmers have signed up for Club Champs. DISAPPOINTING!
There are 35 swimmers in Alex's Senior squad alone...please make the effort to sign up for this event. We moved everyone from SwimFit to Senior Squad with the caveat that we see more racing - now is that time!

Coach Kris and Coach Sarah will be joining us at club champs. So that everyone has a chance to meet them both, we will have a BBQ immediately following. This should give the swimmers and parents a chance to say hi and get to know the new team. 
There will be times during the week (9-12) when they will be on-deck, but as these will be practices, less time to have a meet and greet will be available then.

Please sign-up for the meet on TeamUnify.

Can last year's age champions please return their trophies before this weekend.
