MISSING STOPWATCH
We are missing a stopwatch from yesterday’s meet. We know they are really fun to play with and maybe you wanted a super cool necklace for the holidays, but its’ friends are missing it. If you happened to borrow it for your family game night last night, could you please send it back in with your swimmer tonight or tomorrow at practice. We like to keep them paired up. We do appreciate you taking care of it like it’s your own.
