Does he care about me?

ShAC Meet

After being out of the water for two and a half months (mid-March through early June), I was impressed with the kids' showing this weekend!

Meet Mobile has results.  Over half our swims were lifetime bests.

We'd only been back in the water for ten (10) weeks, and that included a few "hiccups" (pool breakdowns, scheduling issues, & weather).

Mark has indicated that we may be able to get in some Monday afternoon/evening workouts this month.

Our revised schedule shows "No Practice" on the 17th, 24th, & 31st.  I'll check with him to see what time we might be able to fit in workouts on those days.

As we return to a once-daily workout schedule, please remember that we won't be burning as many calories as before!  Cut back on the snacking!!
