ARIZONA— this weekend! I have ‘goodie bags’ for swimmers who did not attend this past Saturday’s practice. Entries have been finalized and meet info can be found on the page sent out in the update. (FYI, the pool we are racing in is in the background of the website) Stay tuned for more info out soon…
NAPA RECAP — the Tuna were in action this past weekend in sunny, hot Napa (okay, it was a deluge), but they performed great! We had a bunch of best times and gained valuable experience! We’ve been working on transitions, and Mike reported that the work is paying off with crisp/fast turns and finishes. Nice job Tuna!
