Chinook Families, This will mostly affect the Bellevue groups and your coaches will be in touch specifically if these changes will affect you. We will be transitioning our Norwood swimmers to Woodridge for the remainder of the winter, unless otherwise communicated by your site coach. We thank Norwood Swim Club for their hospitality and willingness to allow us to rent their pool from September to November for both practices and clinics. Thank you families for your willingness and flexibility in these changes!
