Hi Killer Whales!

What a heart-racing and close meet! Unfortunately, the Dolphins managed to circle up at the last minute and defend themselves against the Killer Whales. The final score was Dolphins 264 and Killer Whales 250. This puts us at 1 win - 1 loss for our in-division rank. Parents, give your swimmers a huge high five for the effort they put into the meet. Next week, we'll swim our final in-division team for a chance to make it 2-1. We're thankful for all our swim families and win or lose, we always enjoy spending time at the pool together.

We hope to see you tonight at our Ice Cream Social. We'll be selling raffle tickets as well for those of you unable to make it to the 7/20 awards night.

Reminder: There is no Saturday practice this week. Good luck to those heading to the Cary City Meet! We hope you have a fantastic day of representing your team!

See you on Deck!
