We will be on regular practice schedule for the entire week with 2 changes

1.)  There will be NO practice for any 12 & Unders on Friday, October 31 due to the Halloween holiday.  TRICK or TREAT.  The 13 & Overs will have a morning practice from 5:45 - 6:45AM on Friday.

2.)  There will be a short Saturday morning practice for all 9 & Olders from 10 - 11 AM.

All 8 & unders that swam at the ODAC Bobblehead meet did a wonderful job.  Those swimmers included Casey Bouker, Max Janesik, Cam Leggat, Kenzie Lloyd, Bryce Pugh & Liam Stuart.  We had an outstanding showing with a 4th place overall finish for Max Janesik (6).  Great job to all swimmers.

The sign-up deadline for the CGBD meet is Saturday November 1st, 2008.  If your children are not signed up on the sheet, they will NOT be signed up for the meet.  Please make sure you sign up early this week, so that we can get the entries off before the deadline.
