Hi Seahawks!

This is a LONG email so bear with me as I have a ton of information to share! 

MEET RECAP

We had a fantastic weekend, beginning with our Hawaiian Luau pep rally on Friday evening, followed by our first home meet of the season on Saturday morning. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make both events a success. A special thank you to Anna Osinski, our Events Coordinator, for organizing such a fun and festive kickoff to our home meet against the Robin Meadows Racers.

Although we didn't win our meet, our swimmers continue to make tons of progress! We had 114 swimmers declare to swim in 356 events and 11 relays, achieving 123 personal best times! That's a lot to be proud of! 

SPECIAL SHOUT OUTS to our new All Star Swimmers!
