Hi Battle Families, Here is your final update regarding this weekend's big meet! Volunteer Assignments: Here are your assigned volunteer shifts. The shifts are very minimal (no more than 60-90 minutes for the entire weekend). We may need families to step up and work a second short shift if we have multiple no-shows. Please note that if you are assigned to stroke and turn, you must attend the stroke and turn meeting at 8:30 the morning of your shift. As always, a no-show will result in $150 automatically being charged...

First, a correction to a typo in last NewsSplash for Lapapalooza. The Lapapalooza information said swimmers who have $100 in donations by "tomorrow, June 21st" will receive an entry into a drawing during the Awards Ceremony. Obviously June 21st has already passed so ignore that tidbit of encouragement! I am currently on vacation so I have on idea what day or time it actually is. For those of you going to Battle, please open this Battle PDF for all of the latest updates! If you have questions, please email Krista...

Hi Team, We are very excited to let you know that Coach Aden has added many private lesson slots for our team to take advantage of.

As a former Stingray, Aden began his swimming career under Coach Steve and he holds almost every 9/10 Stingray record (he then left to compete year round with the Terrapins). Perhaps even more...
