Important Updates for the Week of June 26th

New Records: Ben Gingher and Toby Van Dyke
Coach Ben broke the Welch 50-yard butterfly record at last Tuesday's meet. He broke his own record with a time of 24.10 seconds! 
Toby Van Dyke broke the Welch 50-yard freestyle record at last Tuesday's meet with a time of 22.11.
Make sure you congratulate them on their great swims!

Penns Valley Meet Cancelled
Last Thursday's meet at Penns Valley has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. Penns Valley was unable to find a day that would work for their pool to host our meet again, so they have forfeited the meet.


Ice Cream Social
Come join us on Monday, June 26 from 6-8pm at Spring Creek Park (901 Houserville Rd, State College) for some ice cream, games, and time to play in the creek! The team provides ice cream and toppings. Feel free to bring some outdoor games. Sign up here. There will be no Monday evening practice.

Tie-Dye - DROP OFF BY THURSDAY
We will be making tie-dye shirts on Friday during practice. Shirts should tied at home and then dropped off at practice no later than Thursday.  You can bring your shirts to practice any day this week. We will apply colors together during practice on Friday. See details here.
