Thank you for a fantastic season so far! Time has passed by quickly, so here is a reminder of our remaining swim meets for the 2011 - 2012 swim season (please visit our Meet Schedule for more details):
- Saturday, 28 Janaury at Kaiserslautern: Divisional Team Championships
- Saturday-Sunday, 18-19 February at Eindhoven: "Champs" Individual Championships
Swimmers: please be sure to have your events written on your arms prior to arriving at a meet. And before you leave from a meet, it is important that you do not leave without checking with your coach before you go -- changes to relay rosters may mean you have another event to swim.
Also, please remember to speak with your coach before and after every event. It is our best opportunity to give you last minute tips before a race and to give immediate feedback after a race!
