I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulation to you for a great season.

Remember that we are in the hight of our season.  Please do the small things from here on out, rest, study, proper diet, hydration.  BE AT PRACTICE!  

To our club swimmers, place your focus on LCS.  There will be some upcoming practice sessions that Coach Ross and I will expect "all hands on deck".  It will not be every practice but as we move closer to regionals on 2/03 we will call a practice or two that you will need to plan to attend.  This is primarily done for relay exchange purposes so we are not waiting for the day of to get our timing down.
