Hello Neptune families, Do you have used athletic shoes that you no longer use? If so, for the next couple weeks, these shoes can be put to very good use via a program called the Great Shoe-In, a large collection effort in which gently worn shoes will be collected and then distributed to people in need. The Great Shoe-In is a perfect example of how our community can make a difference and reminds us how nearly everything we consume has more than one life and how every one of us...

Hello Neptune Families, Happy Friday & good luck to the athletes competing this weekend in Napa...swim FAST and have fun!!! On a more serious note: there was vandalism to the men's locker room last night at Ridgway swim center. One of the bathroom stall doors was kicked in and broke off of the hinges. It appears to have happened during Neptune swim time. I am asking for any information regarding this incident...I am also asking for parents to volunteer their time while at practice to help monitor the locker rooms...

Fellow Neptune teammates Allie Davis & Sam Haley represented Neptune Swimming & Pacific swimming at the 2009 Pacific Swim Distance Camp held annually in Colorado Springs at the USA Olympic Training Center. Rumor has it they swam over 40,000 yards in 3.5 days, most if not all long course at an altitude of 5,000 feet and they handled themselves with grace and determination. Congratulation Allie & Sam! You make us proud.

Friday the 13th was a lucky day for Kelsey Louden in the UCLA Bruins' dual meet loss to USC. See alumni news.
