Swimming probably their best overall meet, the White Sharks closed out the 2009 season with a 1270-1126 loss to neighboring Queensmill.  Enthusiastic from the Team Picture to the caravan parade, the team swam very hard and amassed their highest total points of the season.  Andy Branin, back from injury, picked up where he left off by lowering his own Junior 50M Free (27.82) and 50M Fly (31.99) records while Alexis Nardo finished off her summer season career by adding one more senior girls record in the 50M Fly (33.82). 

CHAMPS is on Friday and Saturday July 24 and 25.  Please try to attend if you qualified and even if you did not you may still swim in relays plus one other event!  We need everyone!

The White Sharks swam very well but lost a tight meet to The Highlands 1143.5-995.5.  Still outmanned by about 20 swimmers, the team held tough for the entire night before taking the loss.  Next week's meet will be another tough meet but should be fun vs our neighbors at Queensmill.  Please make sure you are at our pool before 4:00 pm for the Team Picture, then participate in the caravan over to the Queensmill pool!!

The White Sharks were again vastly outnumbered on Tuesday night by a very good Salibury team and suffered it largest loss of the season 1735-781.  Salisbury's team size of nearly three times the number of swimmers was impossible to beat despite continued strong showings from all of the team. 

Next week's meet will be another good chance for victory and we will need all of the team to show for a strong effort!
