Welcome to Week 9!

Congratulations to those who competed in the Tide meet this weekend at Ft Eustis. Special congratulations go to Arielle Pickerel who got her first BB cut in the 50y free. Way to go Arielle! She has spent a lot of time working toward this goal. Amanda, Doug and I were happy with the decreased number of disqualifications this meet.
