Barracudas Rock the Waves
Congratulations Barracudas!!
Another great win tonight with a score of Barracudas 482, Wyngate Waves 446 --
a 36 point victory! Great swims by all of our kids and alot of great team spirit shown. The Waves put on a wonderful luau party.
We have a busy week ahead, the last week already -- seems like the season has gone by really fast this year. Tomorrow is Fun Friday beginning at 9am and ending at 11am. Remember to pick up your ribbons, also if you have not picked up your t-shirt, please see me during the week to get them. Our last meet is against Eagle Watch, at our home pool. It will most likely be another close one, so get ready for some fast swimming.
Our banquet is next Friday, July 2nd at the main pool. We will start serving dinner (catered by Longhorn's )at 6:30 and then we will have our awards ceremony and slide show. You should have received a registration email form or you can pick one up at the pool Forms must be turned in by Monday so that we can give Longhorn's an accurate count. Meal costs are listed on the form -- Adult dinners are $9 and Child dinners are $6. This is a change from last year, as the team is not paying for the children's meals this year. Unfortunately, we were unable to have food donated as in prior years -- most likely due to the economy. Also, we are reserving some of the team funds towards a computer and printer -- since the ones we had last year both died and we have been using a loaner system. We're planning to have a great time and hope all of you can attend. If you have any questions, feel free to email or call me.
One final item, if you have any final pictures you want included in the slideshow, please get them to AmyBeth Bell by tomorrow (Friday, June 25).
Great job tonight by our swimmers and by all of our parent volunteers. The wyngate team complimented all of our parents on doing such a great job of cleaning up after the meet and said that we were the best (and most fun) team they've ever hosted. So thanks to all of you for that!!!

Barracudas Chew Up the Competition
Yes our Barracudas meant business tonight, chewing up the competition with a win by over 100 points! Swimmers showed that yes! they have been paying attention during practices. We had many great races throughout the meet. So many in fact that we ran out of blue (1st place) ribbons during the meet and had to get more -- go barracudas!! Big thank-you's to coach Johnny and Coach Hess for their work in getting everyone ready these past two weeks.
After a few minor glitches with the microphone,event board and printer, things ran smoothly and thankfully there was No Rain (yeah!). All of our returning parent volunteers fell right back into the routine and new parents quickly came up to speed and were pro's by half-time. Thank you!
Congrats on a great 1st meet -- onward to Woodmont!
Our first fun Friday is tomorrow...er..today -- enjoy the fun pool time :-)
