Hello Killer Whales!

Thank you for your patience as we sorted out the technical delays from the Meet. Congratulations on your win this week! As a team, you swam hard and left those Sharks in a whirlpool of bubbles, chasing their own tails. The final score was Killer Whales 282 and Medfield Sharks 226.

Make sure you've checked your swimmer declarations for next week's home meet, which is also our Senior Night. Also upcoming is Saturday's Race Skills Clinic and the first Beluga Mini-Meet, and then our Ice Cream team social on July 8th.

See you on Deck!
