MAVS EMAIL: Week of 3/3

RST Secretary

Hey Everyone,

This past weekend we had one swimmer compete in the Speedo Sectionals swim meet in Novato, CA. At the meet Sarah Pflueger was able to secure 2 best times out of her 3 events despite less than perfect conditions, capped off with an exciting win of the bonus final in the 200 meter Fly. Congratulations Sarah on representing our club so well at this high level swim meet!

Looking forward to next weekend, many of our swimmers will be attending the SNS 14&U championships hosted by CCA. If you are not competing we encourage you to come to the meet and cheer on our team!

Mavs 15+ are welcome to apply to become paid Lifeguards. All interested should send an email to [email protected]. Swim Lessons run Monday-Thursday from 4:00-7:30pm for the summer.
