Looking ahead…

SUMMER LONG COURSE

The Summer Long Course session will begin after Memorial Day and run through the end of July.  This session will also have our five traditional practice groups. The Miniray, Bronze and Silver groups will train in the evenings at the YMCA. Gold and Senior groups will train in the evenings at North Farmington until school is out, and then they will most likely have their primary training at Botsford pool in the early mornings.

 

AUGUST CLINIC

For the month of August, there will be another clinic, much like the March Clinic.

 

FALL/WINTER SHORT COURSE SEASON

We will have our FFYS Short Course parent informational meeting at the end of August at the YMCA. Evaluations for group placements will be in early September.

 

Have a great week, Stingrays!
