Hello everyone! Team Apparel Update We have a delay! Apparently, all of the tie-dye got delivered on Monday last week, and it is all the incorrect pattern! So, we will have to wait a while for things to come in now. Sorry for the delay, but nothing we can do about it. Just a simple error on their part.

Hello Team, Snow Globe Champs Update We have received the full meet notice for the Snow Globe Champs (11&Over swimmers), so we have all the details for that weekend. Unfortunately, we were also notified that the host team's plan to include 9-10 swimmers was not approved by their LSC. This means 9-10s will no longer be able to compete at the Snow Globe meet. New Meet Added for 9-10s To ensure our 9-10 swimmers still have a meet in December, we have added a new event specifically for them. What:...

Monster Mash Meet Results PDF of the results are linked below. Times are uploaded to your swimmer(s) profiles on our team website. There are ribbons in the bins, but I was told some were missing from the last session and will be mailed. Great job to everyone! There was an absolutely insane amount of best times!

Intrasquad Meet #2 Results PDF of the results are linked here. Times are uploaded to your swimmer(s) profiles on our team website. There were a lot of DQs! But, that is why we host these events. The goal is to get swimmers some race reps without the extra time and travel of going to a USA meet. It is a great opportunity to push swimmers into events that are new and challenging. If you have any questions about the DQs, feel free to email me. We were short some meet...

I got a few questions about the schedule changes, so I wanted to make sure everyone received this and had a chance to complete the request to add Saturday at Delaware. Schedule Changes - Please read! October/November The meet we had scheduled in November has been cancelled altogether. I have been considering some options to mitigate the impact of this change.

Hello everyone! Schedule Changes - Please read! October/November The meet we had scheduled in November has been cancelled altogether. I have been considering some options to mitigate the impact of this change. There is another meet that takes place on the exact same weekend, which is just a little bit farther away at Cumberland Valley High School. It is about 1 hour and 20 minutes without traffic. We have gone there many times as a team, but it has been quite a few years. With the additional drive time, I...
