Hi team! Sorry - seems our link to the team store is down. We are working on a fix and I will let you all know when it is back up!

Good afternoon Tritons, I wanted to start this newsletter by again thanking everyone for helping and participating in our annual Trunk or Treat! Back when I was a swimmer on this team, these events were something I looked forward to. I hope that the extra things we do outside of practice help build good memories that our swimmers and families can recall when they look back. Every event and swim meet we do is possible thanks to family participation and the volunteers we have; it takes a village to raise...

Good evening Tritons, Tomorrow (October 29) will be our annual Trunk-or-Treat event and Halloween practice!

Good morning Tritons, Happy Wednesday! Already closing on the end of October, and it feels like we just got started. Quick thank you to our Tritons and families that helped with the Skagit YMCA's Spooktacular! I have heard great things about aquatics and several compliments saying how nice and enthusiastic our swimmers were. Very proud to hear our reputation extending beyond competition! Yesterday evening, I attended a PSSA board meeting and was able to confirm a few details with our upcoming meet schedule: The Snohomish YMCA will be hosting their...

Good afternoon Tritons, Reminder that today will be a combined practice for ALL practice groups (October 8th).
