This Thursday (7/14) is our next home meet vs Washington. This time around, we will have a food truck: Chef B’s! BBQ Nachos, pulled pork sandwiches, burgers, italian beef sandwiches … I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! Here’s the menu:

Good evening swim parents! Tomorrow is our fourth meet – and second home meet – of the season. Just a few announcements this evening. Food! We are planning to pre-order some meals from Avanti's.

Just a reminder that we do have Torpedoes swim caps available for sale. Since we will not have everyone in a team suit, we would appreciate if everyone could wear a Torpedoes cap. They will be available for purchase ($10) through Coach Herrin before and after practice.

For the June newsletter, Suzannah Kerr has put together bios for each of our Coaches -- and even a quiz to test how well you know the coaches. Veteran swimmers should have no problem acing this quiz... right? ;) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vlH5pUb0Q1aSD2p71a87LmIJYVeeZ71q/view
