*Congratulations again on a good meet against Montachusett. They edged us out a few times, but we won four out of the ten divisions and tied one division. Keep up the good work!!!

*CONGRATULATIONS to Matt Lee who broke the team record for the 11&12 Boys 50 yard breaststroke. Way to go Matt!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS also to Kyle Espinola who set a new team record in the Boys 9&10 50 yard freestyle. Keep swimming fast Kyle!!!!

REMINDER – Swimmers should stay for the entire meet. The coaches do not want swimmers dressed until the END of the meet. Many swimmers have left early, leaving no one to cheer for the swimmers competing at the end of the meet., and no one to cheer the final cheer for the opposing team.

*NEW district times were placed in your mailboxes. Please review them because some of the times have changed. New England qualifying times were also placed in your boxes.

*CONGRATULATIONS to those who successfully completed the swim-a-thon. Fantastic work!! Don’t forget to collect those pledges! If you were unable to swim on the past designated days, please see one of the coaches.

REMINDER – all swimmers are required to participate in the swim-a-thon.

**REMINDER – Swimmers must compete in 3 meets during the regular season in order to compete at districts.

*If you signed up for the Holiday gift swap, names have been placed in your mailboxes. Any questions please see one of the coaches or Mrs. Janet Marchessault.

*REMINDER – Paperwork for meets are due on the assigned dates! Forms must be in on time or swimmers will not be allowed to compete.
