Dear Sailfish Swimmers and Parents,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to provide an important update regarding our upcoming swim meet and the schedule for the week.

Unfortunately the swim meet scheduled with Bedstuy YMCA on Sunday July 7th was cancelled. Despite our best efforts, unforeseen circumstances on their end have led to this decision. We understand how disappointing this news may be, especially after all the hard work and preparation you’ve put in.

However, I am pleased to announce that we have secured an opportunity to compete in an official USA Swim Meet on August 10th at the Flushing YMCA. This is an exciting chance for us to showcase our skills and compete at a higher level. Please note the following important details regarding the meet:

  • Date: August 10th
