SKILLS & SKILLETS

Fun and Learning in the Pool - ALL TEAM event!  Our annual SKILLS & SKILLETS event is coming on Sunday, November 30 from 9:15-10:45 A.M.  at  the YMCA.  This is A LOT of fun. Our high The “big kids” do a great job with the younger kids and everyone has fun eating pancakes with their friends after swimming.  ALL SWIMMERS are invited to participate!

Here are the details:

Our Senior Practice Group swimmers will be running a stroke clinic in the pool with all of our younger swimmers.  After the clinic, all swimmers get to eat a pancake breakfast that is prepared and served by swim team parents!
  

This is a fundraiser for our team.  The cost is $15 per participant, and the proceeds of this event help fund team expenses.
