Hi Stingrays, We are very sorry, but pratice for Wednesday, April 19th is cancelled. The high school originally had a swim meet scheduled for the following Friday, but the opposing team needed to change the date to Wednesday. On the bright side, this is the high school's last home meet for the season, and their season is over at the end of April. This means that after the next 2 weeks, the Stingrays will have all of the practice lanes to themselves. Thank you for your understanding!
