Our team spirit…
A word of congratulations goes out to our Tuesday’s Swimmers of the Meet: Grace Plews and Ian Chhabria, and our Thursday’s Swimmer of the Meet: Connor Halligan. Way to go! Your never-say-quit attitude makes you stand out in a crowd. I’m so proud of you, and I’m proud of all of our Gators’ and Crocs’ team spirit.

Invitationals and Champs…
Congrats to all Odd Age participants. We had a very strong showing last week, and the swimming looked amazing. LMT got so many ribbons! Championships will round out our swim season on Saturday-7/27 and Tuesday-7/30 at the George School, and on Sunday-7/28 at LMT for those participating.
LMT swimmers and families, thanks for making it a fantastic year for all of us. It’s been a pleasure working for and with you. We say goodbye to LMT swim team for now, but I challenge you to keep the momentum, and find a way to swim often and year-round. You started something impressive this summer, now keep it going.
In the meantime, have fun watching the Olympics 2024 and getting inspired by the highest level of swimming in the world. Let the Olympians motivate you to be your fastest and your best. YOU are the future of swimming!
Meet me right back here next year, for another great season of LMT Summer Swim ‘25.
Go Gators! Go Crocs! Go LMT!
