Congratulations to all Gator and KCI swimmers! The graduating class of Piranhas could not conclude their summer swim career without just one more KCI weather delay!

Mile Swim

Mile Swim Day is tomorrow, Monday, June 24, during regular practice times. Swimmers will be attempting to swim a mile (64 lengths) or a half mile (32 lengths). Please note parents/care givers/siblings are needed to act as length counters for their swimmers. Tally sheets and writing utensils will be available at the pool. Set a chair at either end of your swimmers’ lane and count the lengths. Will anyone attempt 100 lengths? We’ll see! Bagels for breakfast will be available after the swims.

June 29 meet @ Home: The regular dual meet schedule returns this week when we will have the second home meet at Normandy Pool against Woodbourne on Saturday, June 29. The meet starts at 7am at Normandy Pool. Coach Frankie will send out warm up times. Volunteers please check in by 6:45am and attend the meet’s timer and stroke and turn judge meeting.
