Mallory sent a message for PREP swimmers to come on Monday or Wednesday to make up for the Thursday...

I just got home from an awesome meet in Springdale, but I wanted to announce now so no one is wondering about tomorrow... Morning practice this week is Tuesday. Mandatory for gold and elite.

With our January meet coming up it will really help the team if we can get more JCKW parents certified to be officials.  Attendance at a Stroke & Turn clinic is the first of three required steps toward becoming a certified official, and you must serve hours in an on-deck apprenticeship at meets.  We hope to have some officials from our team who have already served their on-deck hours in time for our meet at the end of January. Please read about the upcoming clinic at the meet this weekend...
