Ribbons:

Ribbons will be available at the Tuesday & Friday practices.  As a reminder, after each meet the following week at practice there will be a ribbon box for both girls and boys.  There is a file folder for each swimmer.  Please check the folder to see if your swimmer earned any ribbons.  Swimmers that have placed 1st - 6th place in events will receive those specific ribbons.  All 8 & under swimmers will receive a "Super Swimmer" ribbon if they did not place in the top 6 for their events. This is done to help encourage our youngest Turtles to keep working hard each week.  

 

Lastly, we appreciate all that continue to RSVP in a timely manner and those that offer their time to volunteer.  A sincere thank you!
