This Saturday, January 7th Coach Erin will hand out Team Gear: caps, t-shirts, water bottles to those who have not yet gotten their 2011-2012 gear. He will hand it out at 9am and 10am at Juanita. Anyone who has not gotten their gear is welcome to stop in and grab it.

Congratulations to Gabby Dang on making the 2012 PNS All-Start Team based on her performance at the 2011 PNS 14 & Under Championship Meet. Her performance at that meet included placing first in two races, second in three races, and fourth in one race. Gabby will travel with 31 other PNS swimmers to Vancouver, B.C. this coming weekend (January 7-8) to compete against all-start teams from California, Oregon and British Columbia. Go Gabby!!!

  There will be no New Year's Day practice for either the Achieve 1 & 2 groups or the High School group. We will return to our normal schedule on Monday, January 2nd.
