From Coach Mike for White Group Parents-
 "Parents, please make sure to check with your swimmer to see if they have all of their swim equipment before you leave the pool. Fins, goggles, caps, kick boards, etc. are often not recoverable once left at the pool. Coaches will do their best to make sure no swimmer's gear is left behind, but no one is perfect! This would be a great help to both the coaching staff and your swimmers! Also, be sure you purchase a set of fins and a kick board for your swimmer.  (See previous CAT Tales 9/6/09 for ordering information.) Thank you!"
