If your swimmer did not make it into this Saturday’s meet, never fear! We look forward to seeing all of our swimmers at Monday’s Home B meet as we host the Walden Glen Wahoos. Please select two strokes that your swimmer is most likely able to swim legally. (Remember - it can’t be the same strokes they swam on 6/20).
