NOVEMBER 24-28 -- Short Week - Turkey Day!

We have a short swim week this week and a needed break from routine.  

Thank-you to everyone who donated to the End Poverty Project.  28 of our swimmers contributed.  Our team should be proud!  You are great!  It also helped your attendance numbers!

Nice job at the meet this week.  We had some more REALLY GOOD swims, and many event winners!  PLUS, our team won!  YAY!  Check the Top50 list to see how we are doing.  We have some swimmers near the very top!  The site is not fully functional at this point as far as individual results, but the top50 lists are there.  (utswimcoach.com)  It looks like the girls 200 FR relay (Eden, 'Ainu, Katy, and Meghan) might already have a time good enough to qualify for state!  I hope so!!


Thank you to the Day, Thompson, and Z. Olson families for breakfast and Mayer, Buhler, Price, Mortensen, Hopson, and Phillips families for providing dinner last week! We all love food!!
