Congressional Swim Families, The weather is just not in our favor!! In conjunction with the team from Columbia, we have decided to cancel our meet tonight (Tuesday, 7/1) vs. Columbia. The teams are currently working on an option to reschedule, perhaps in a creative fashion, to compete against each other. Coach Jen will follow up tonight with some details regarding our plan to get the Columbia meet on the books. Warm Regards, Danny Palmiotto

Our top priority is the safety of our families and swimmers, and we wanted to make a call quickly to keep everyone, including our friends from Columbia, out of harms way. We will plan with Columbia to reschedule our compeition at a later date. Please stay safe everyone, and see you all at practice tomorrow! Warm Regards, Danny Palmiotto
