Week #5 - Let's Go!

POTENTIAL

This team is filled with so many gifted young men. Gifted in so many ways in and out of the pool. My greatest wish for 2025 is that this group learns to lean into ALL of their strengths so they might reach their fullest potential in the pool, or on the board, but more than that in life.

TEAM ACTIVITY 
This second week of the break gives us some great opportunities to work together but also to play together. Friday we will follow up our practice with a team breakfast at Russ' Restaurant (Northside) then to Northland Lanes for bowling. Guys will need about $20 to cover both breakfast and bowling.

Plan on picking up your son between 12:00 & 12:30 pm from Northland Lanes. 
 
Saturday, January 13th: HOSTING the Division 3 Mid Season Invitational  
    Beyond conference and state, this meet is the biggest of the season. We have six or seven of the top ten teams in the state, along with other quality swimming and diving programs. This meet is limited to 4 individual entries per event, so some of our younger swimmers may only be swimming relays or just one individual event plus a relay.
We may still need timers or other helpers for this event. Click on the link in the side bar to see what area could use some help.

           Thank you in advance for all of your help with this event.
