Meet Recap: HAST Winter Invitational ❄️

Congratulations to everyone who competed at the HAST Winter Invitational this weekend! We’re proud of your hard work, effort, and racing.

2026 Orange Fundraiser 🍊

The 2026 Orange Fundraiser is here! I just spoke with our grower in California, and the oranges are ready a bit earlier than usual this year.

Round 1 will begin tomorrow and run through Monday, February 2 (two weeks).

Round 2 will take place exactly one month later.

A separate email will be sent within the next 24 hours titled “ORANGE FUNDRAISER” and will include important parent and swimmer information, the fundraiser flyer, and the Google Form link for Round 1. Please keep an eye out for it.

If you have any questions, feel free to call or text:

🩺 Health Reminder

Please keep swimmers home if they are feeling sick, and notify their coach of any absences (TeamReach works great). Thank you for helping keep our team healthy!
