I am sorry and want to apologize to all the swimmers that have worked so hard and would like to complete at this meet but did not get selected.  The coaches have selected swimmers that have not had an opportunity to compete much in this year.

Hi Parents and Swimmers:
I take this opportunity to introduce you to our new Aquatics Instructor and Coach Bogdan Sorica.
He will be taking over the 8 & Under Team with assistance from coach Tony Cao.
