Congratulations to Sil who is our Swimmer of the Quarter!
All the coaches were unanimous that Sil’s dedication and outstanding swim at
MIMS this year as a two-person relay should be officially celebrated. Sil, great
swimming, we look forward to you swimming the whole 28 miles solo in the next
few years!
The great team results keep rolling in with Lance and Eli
completing a 10 mile Kingdom Swim held on Lake Memphremagog in Vermont. Nice
job!
Lastly, below are some dates for our upcoming clinics.
Attending these is the quickest way to swim faster, so please make them if that
is your goal! Also, if you would like to see any additional clinics, please send
