As of today we have raised $1,801 for our Swim-A-Thon.  Remember our team goal is to raise $15,000 this year… we still have a lot of work to do swimmers.  Make sure you are out collecting pledges from you family members, friends and coworkers.  Remember the Swim-A-Thon is next Tuesday June 25^th from 5-7pm

 

 

The weather was blazing hot in Roseville over the weekend and our swimmers had some fiery performances as well.  Kelley Henderson (18) achieved a new long course JO time in her 50 Free with a 29.83, Alyssa Powell (14) achieved a new long course JO time in her 100 back with a 1:15.65 and a new long course PRT (Pacific Recognizable Time) in the 100 fly with a 1:08.02, Elina Rosario (13) achieved a new long course JO time in the 200 IM with a 2:42.54 and a new long course Far Western time in the 200 breast with a 2:57.60, and Brandon Miguel (17) achieved a new long course JO in the 100 breast with a 1:16.49.  Great job swimmers!  Those are some terrific times for the beginning of our season.

 

 

Great job at the Napa Meet!  We had many amazing swims and many new time standards achieved over the weekend, unfortunately we have not yet received the final results from the meet.  As soon as we have the results we will send out an email
