Hello Swim Families!

In preparation for our upcoming home meet against Little Hunting Park, please see below for all relevant details.

They are 4-0 and looking for their coronation as division champions. We are trying desperately to wreck these plans.

Don’t be discouraged by early results. LHP is supposed to win freestyle by 20 points, then pull ahead a little more in back and breast. Then HB comes roaring back in fly. Looks to be tied going into relays. Our mixed age girls, 8U boys and 9-10 girls all faced off against LHP at all star relays. We are going to need some exceptional swims, plus this will be the mixed age girls last chance at the record. They are .25 seconds away.

It's also senior day. We will have a brief but humorous send off before the meet starts We have 6 graduating seniors

Gideon Lovern - Virginia Tech

Paige Dury - Virginia Tech

Austin Collie - Cairn University

Graham Huse - George Mason

Kayla Doty - Frostburg University

Daniel Louie - The University of Virginia

We also had three super seniors who came back to swim even though they graduated last year

Noah Dyer - The University of Virginia

Caleb Detrick - Grove City College

Alicia Saunders - Virginia Commonwealth University
