See you tonight!

Another Win, great meet tonight!

WOW, I have to say, you all are continuing to impress me!!!! Thanks for all the hard work, this is going to continue to be an exciting year! Results will be posted tonight!

Sorry

I know the results haven't been posted for the past few meets, hoping tonight to get caught up! Thanks for your patiences.

Great Success!

We have a timing system and we successfully used it last night at the first home meet! We still have a few kinks to work out, but we were able to get the times off the clock and that is awesome! A huge thank you goes out to Tom Cannon and especially his wife, Mary for helping us figure everything out.

Secondly, we have a new asstitant coach helping us out and many of you already know her. Nancy Cooper, she is a health teacher at Cloquet Middle School. I am so excited to have her on board, she jumped right in last night at the meet, I think she will be a great asset to our team.

Lastly, I wanted to remind everyone about meet conduct. Make sure you get in, warm up and cheer before the meet starts. If you aren't swimming the next event, make sure you are cheering your team on at the end of the pool, don't crowd the back of the pool waiting for your event. Cheer for you team mates and, know your goals and their's so you can cheer them on.

Keep up the good work!
