WRAY OPEN
We are gearing up for our home Wray Open home meet, April 26th-28th. Volunteer sign-ups will be posted in a couple weeks.
I am looking for ideas for heat winner prizes and a volunteer to head this up. For example, we did salt water taffy for the Seahorse meet. 2 Kids Candy Store donated half and we purchased half.

COACHES
You may have seen the coaches use their cell phones on deck. There are many reasons why a coach uses their phone during practice. A few examples are logging attendance, swim workouts and checking swimmer times. Coaches are asked to only use cell phone for pertinent coach tasks.
